EG Function EG Function The EG function sets up the sample's envelope generators (EGs). The envelope generators determine how sound develops over time, both while the note is held and after it is released. The A3000 offers three different EGs: an amplitude EG, a filter EG, and a pitch EG. FYI The COMMAND key gives you rapid access to a number of helpful commands while you are working with this function. For example, you can use the COMMAND key when you want to save your edit results to disk, or when you want to cancel your new changes and restore the previously saved data.
