Applying various effects to the sound
■
Changing the sound’s volume (ENVELOPE)
The volume continues to change from the time a key is pressed to when it is released.
A: Attack Time: The time from when the keyboard is pressed until the maximum
tonal change is reached.
D: Delay Time: The time from when the maximum tonal change is reached until the
Sustain Level is reached.
S: Sustain level: Volume that is sustained while you hold down the key
R: Release Time: The time from when the keyboard is released until the sound
disappears.
Use the ENVELOPE 3 knobs to change the A, D, and R times.
* Each tone has its own Sustain level, which cannot be modified.

while turning it to the left (counterclockwise) shortens this time.
3. Turn the [DECAY] knob.
Turning this to the right increases the time it takes for the sound to reach the Sustain
Level, while turning it to the left shortens this time.

The “envelope” is the curve
that shows how the volume
of an instrument changes
from the beginning of a
note to its end. Each
musical instrument has a
distinctive type of
envelope, but this can
change depending on how
the instrument is played,
and is an important factor
in the character of the
sound. For example, when
a trumpet is blown strongly
it produces a piercing
sound with a rapid attack,
but when blown softly it
produces a gentler and
more muted attack.
