3) AWM Operators
Each algorithm has a special AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) Operator.
AWM
Operators are not sine waves like the other Operators, but are digital recordings of
actual instrument sounds, such as piano, violin, guitar, and so on.
The AWM
Operator’s sound is mixed with the sounds of the other Operators in the algorithm to
create realistic voices.

1
OL (Output Level)
Determines the level of the AWM sound.
Range: 0-127
2
AR (Attack Rate)
Determines how quickly the Operator will reach its maximum
level after the key is played.
Lower values produce a slower
attack.
Range: -64 - +63
3
DR (Decay Rate)
Determines how much time it takes for the Operator to reach its
second level.
Range: -64 - +63
4
RR (Release Rate)
Determines how much time it takes for the level to reach 0 after
the key is released.
Range: -64 - +63
5
LOW
Determines to boost or decrease the output of the lower range of
the keyboard.
Range: -64 - +63
6
HIGH
Determines to boost or decrease the output of the higher range of
the keyboard.
Range: -64 - +63
NOTE:
Some voices may not have remarkable
effect using these AWM parameters.
