I

Attack

When the INPUT display is called up, this parameter (for

which the value is indicated in the knob icon) determines the

attack time (from the moment a pad is hit until the moment

the maximum initial level of the volume is reached) of each

selected Trigger Input Jack. When the SOURCE display is

called up, this parameter determines the attack time of each

selected Trigger Input Source.

J

Decay



decay time (indicating how fast the volume falls from maxi-

mum attack level) of each selected Trigger Input Jack. When

the SOURCE display is called up, this parameter determines

the decay time of each selected Trigger Input Source.

K

Release



release time of each selected Trigger Input Jack. When the

SOURCE display is called up, this parameter determines the

release time of each selected Trigger Input Source.

L

Filter



cutoff frequency of the low pass filter for each selected Trig-

ger Input Jack. When the SOURCE display is called up, this

parameter determines the cutoff frequency of the low pass fil-

ter for each selected Trigger Input Source.

M

Q (Resonance)



resonance of the low pass filter for each selected Trigger Input

Jack. When the SOURCE display is called up, this parameter

determines the resonance of the low pass filter for each

selected Trigger Input Source. You can use this parameter to

add further character to the sound or change the sound in

more dramatic ways.
