Fig. 42 Envelop shape for OP3 and OP4 EG of OP3 EG of OP4 Key scaling The above setting will create a voice very similar to that of an electronic piano. Next, use key scaling to shorten the high notes and compensate for the high timbre notes which are too bright. Rate scaling adjusts the attack and release times of the notes, while level scaling is used for tonal character and volume. The level scaling curve is 0 in order to reduce the intensity of higher pitched sounds.

The original EG settings were selected with this scaling in mind. The length of the envelopes can be adjusted by the individual operator EG settings. Re-adjustment of voice data The setting of the voice components is now complete. However slight changes in almost any setting such as the EG, can still change the voice. The final voice can be "fine tuned" by the adjusting the output level of the operators and the level of feedback. For example, if you think the metallic echo is too strong, the output level of operator four can be reduced. There will be cases where the maximum or minimum frequency of the operators is exceeded and the sound will thus automatically be lowered or raised by one octave. This is changed manually by the transposing (Tr) feature. The volume is more likely to become too high in cases where there are two carriers, such as in the example given here, compared to when there is only one carrier. Thus, sometimes you will want to lower the volume while considering the balance between the carriers. The adjust feature (Aj) is useful for this. Setting only the Aj of the carriers allows the total volume to be adjusted without changing the balance between the carriers. - 49 -
