1: AEG LEVEL & RATE [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [MENU] → 2:Amlitude EG → [ENTER/YES] → [ENTER/YES] → → [MENU] → 1:Level&Rate → [ENTER/YES] The SY85's main AEG (Amplitude Envelope generator) has five individually programmable rates and two levels for exceptional envelope programming flexibility. Next to the fundamental waveform used, the amplitude envelope is one of the most important factors determining the overall sound of a voice.

In the "Atk" mode, the envelope begins from zero level, reaching the maximum AWM level at a rate determined by the R1 (Rate 1) parameter. In this mode there will always be a slight delay between the initiation of a note and maximum level. R1 ... RR, L2 ... L3 (Rates & levels) Range: 0 ... 63 Controls: [CS2] ...
