4-5c: Decay
Decay [0…100]
This controls the overall decay time of the string
without affecting frequency content. This interacts
with Damping, which controls the decay time for high
frequencies. For more information, see “4-6a:
Damping” on page 252.
Note: the Amp EG still controls the output level of the
STR-1 as a whole, so the final decay time will be a
combination of the String Decay and the Amp EG. As
a general rule, the Amp EG can make the overall decay
time shorter than the String Decay, but not longer.
For instance, if the String Decay is set to a high value
(for a long decay), but the Amp EG Decay is short, the
final result will be a short decay.
For more information, see “6-3: Amp EG” on page 272.
AMS 1 [List of AMS Sources]
This selects the first modulation source to control the
Decay. For a list of AMS sources, see “AMS (Alternate
Modulation Source) List” on page 967.
Intensity [-100…+100]
This controls the depth and direction of AMS1.
AMS 2 [List of AMS Sources]
This selects a second modulation source to control the
Decay. For a list of AMS sources, see “AMS (Alternate
Modulation Source) List” on page 967.
Intensity [-100…+100]
This controls the depth and direction of AMS 2.
Release [0…100]
This sets the overall release time for the string–the time
that it takes to fade away after note-off.
Note: the Amp EG still controls the output level of the
STR-1 as a whole, so the final release time will be a
combination of the String Release and the Amp EG.
For more information, see “Decay,” above.
AMS [List of AMS Sources]
This selects a modulation source to control the Release.
For a list of AMS sources, see “AMS (Alternate
Modulation Source) List” on page 967.
Intensity [-100…+100]
This controls the depth and direction of the Release
modulation.
4-5d: Nonlinearity
Amount [-100.0…100.0]
This models the instability of the string’s bridge.
Greater nonlinearity means a less rigid bridge. At
higher levels, this causes the characteristic buzzing
sound of some non-western stringed instruments, such
as the sitar.
AMS1 [List of AMS Sources]
This selects the first modulation source to control the
Nonlinearity. For a list of AMS sources, see “AMS
(Alternate Modulation Source) List” on page 967.
Intensity [-100.0…+100.0]
This controls the depth and direction of the
Nonlinearity modulation.
AMS2 [List of AMS Sources]
This selects a second modulation source to control the
Nonlinearity. For a list of AMS sources, see “AMS
(Alternate Modulation Source) List” on page 967.
Intensity [-100.0…+100.0]
This controls the depth and direction of the second
Nonlinearity modulation.
