EG Function Knob 1 Knob 2 Knob 3 Knob 4 Knob 5 Change Page Select P/S • Turn the knob to change to a different page within the EG function. Available pages are: AEG (this page), AEGMode, FEGRate, FEGLevel, FEGMode, PEGRate, PEGLevel, and PEGMode. • Push the knob to move to the Program/Sample Selection screen. (95) AtkRate = 0,...,127 This value sets the attack rate. The meaning of the setting varies according to the setting of the AttackMode parameter on the AEGMode page (191). • If AttackMode is set to "rate", then the AtkRate value sets the rate at which amplitude rises from 0 (at time of Note-On) to its maximum level. Higher values produce a faster attack. • If AttackMode is set to "time", amplitude begins at maximum level immediately upon Note-On, and holds steady for a certain time before beginning to decline. In this case, the AtkRate value determines how long the maximum level is held. (See illustration on page 191.) Note that higher values produces shorter holding time (faster progression). DcyRate = 0,...,127 This value sets the decay rate: the rate at which the sound drops from its maximum amplitude to its "sustain" level. Higher values produce faster decay. Note that this setting is meaningless (there is no decay period) if the SusLvl value (Knob 4) is set to 127. SusLvl = 0,...,127 This value sets the sustain level. The sustain level is the steady level that begins when decay is completed, and continues until Note Off occurs. RelRate = 0,...,127 This value sets the release rate: the rate at which the amplitude drops from the sustain level to zero following Note Off. Higher values produce faster release. A setting of 127 causes sound to stop immediately when Note Off occurs. Chapter 5 Chapter 5 EDIT Mode 189
