Turn a knob to the right to increase the value, and left to decrease it. Decrease value. Increase value. CUTOFF RESONANCE ATTACK RELEASE Raises or lowers the filter cutoff frequency to adjust the brilliance of the tone. Adjusts the peak level around the cutoff frequency. Determines the attack time of the sound. For example, you can adjust a strings voice so that the sound gradually swells in volume by setting a slow attack time ... simply turn this knob to the right. Determines the release time of the sound. Turning the knob to the right increases the release time and (depending on the voice) lets the sound sustain after the key is released. To produce a sharp release, in which the sound abruptly cuts off, set a short release time. External Controllers Rear Panel FC7 FC4 or FC5 ■Footswitch An optional FC4 or FC5 Footswitch connected to the SUSTAIN jack on the rear panel lets you control sustain. For example, you can turn sustain on or off with your foot while playing with both hands.
