This switches between the sound assigned to the program and the two sounds set here using the

over:

fields appear to the right of the

field. Set the decay value and note here. In the

following example, the sound assigned to the selected note number generates MIDI note number
60 up to decay 44, 36/A02 between decay values 45 to 88, and 53/A16 for velocity over 89.

Normally the DECAY is assigned to the NOTE VARIATION slider and is used to switch the sound
