Time Scale

The Time Scale function determines the speed of
change in the PEG according to the pitch played on
the keyboard. When the Time Scale is set to a
positive value, the lower the note played on the
keyboard, the slower the change that occurs over
time. The higher the note played on the keyboard,
the faster the change occurs. Negative values will
have the opposite effect.

Settings: –7~0~+7

This parameter is not displayed in the ENVELOPE
screen.

L (Loop)

Determines the loop for the PEG. As seen in the
following diagram, this function sets the position to
be returned to after reaching Decay 2 (loop point).
Selecting “off” turns the loop function off.

Settings: off, Hl (Hold), At (Attack), D1 (Decay 1)

This parameter is not displayed in the ENVELOPE
screen.

Setting the Pitch Envelope Generator

There are six Time settings (the speed of the
changes) and six Level settings (for pitch) that
shape how the pitch of the sound changes over time,
from when a key is pressed, then released, and how
the sound decays.

Press [F8] to select the ENVELOPE screen; each
value can be set with the Envelope graphical display.
The pitch of a played note can be set to continue at
a defined level for a fixed period of time by setting
the Hold Level and the Hold Time. Then, the pitch
change over time can be controlled by setting the
Attack Time/Level and the Dcy1/2 Time/Level.
Finally, when the key is released, the pitch change
over time can be controlled by setting the Rel1/2
Time/Level parameter.

If necessary, Time Velocity and Loop can be set in
the ALL PARAMETERS screen.
