Attack Time Decay Time Sustain Level Release Time ATK TIME (Attack Time): Determines the time required for a sound to reach its maximum cutoff frequency level when a note is played. DCY TIME (Decay Time): Determines the time required for a sound to reach its Sustain Level from a maximum level while the key is held. SUS LEVEL (Sustain Level): Sets the Sustain Level. The cutoff frequency will be maintained at this level for as long as the key is held. REL TIME (Release Time): Determines the time it takes for the cutoff frequency to reach the level preset for each voice after the key has been released. LEVEL CUTOFF FREQUENCY SUS LEVEL TIME ATK TIME DCY TIME Key On REL TIME Key Off Settings: ATK TIME (Attack Time): -63 ~ +63 DCY TIME (Decay Time): -63 ~ +63 SUS LEVEL (Sustain Level): -64 ~ +63 REL TIME (Release Time): -63 ~ +63 s PEG (Pitch Envelope Generator) This sets the PEG (Pitch Envelope Generator). The PEG lets you shape how the pitch of the voice changes over time, from when a key is hit, then released, and how the sound decays. There are six parameters: INIT LEVEL (Initial Level), ATK TIME (Attack Time), ATK LEVEL (Attack Level), DCY TIME (Decay Time), REL TIME (Release Time) and REL LEVEL (Release Level). NOTE Since the PEG simulates the change of the pitch envelope curve over time, you can create an SFX type effect and the slight pitch change of a wind instrument. NOTE Depending on the voice selected, changing certain parameters may not produce a noticeable effect. Initial Level Attack Time Attack Level Decay Time Release Time Release Level INIT LEVEL (Initial Level): Sets the initial pitch level when a key is played. ATK TIME (Attack Time): Determines the time required for a sound to reach its Attack Level after a note is played. ATK LEVEL (Attack Level): Sets the initially targeted level after a note is played. DCY TIME (Decay Time): Determines the time required for a sound to reach its basic pitch from Attack Level while the key is held. REL TIME (Release Time): Determines the time it takes for the basic pitch to reach the Release Level after the key has been released. REL LEVEL (Release Level): Sets the last targeted level after the key is released. 32
