Copying the Note Parameter

cated edit is made on a note and you want to use this edit on another note, you can copy the note
parameters to another note.

Attack:

Attack:

0

Decay:100
Dcy md:END

Attack:

This sets the attack time of the envelope. This is usually set to 0 for drum sound sources.
The higher the value, the slower it sounds.

Decay:

This sets the decay time of the envelope. The larger the value the milder the sound decays.

Dcy md:

This sets the type of decay.

END

The decay ends at the end of the sample. The starting point of the
decay is determined by the settings in the

Decay:

field. This is

convenient in smoothly fading out the end of a sound.
Also, when a sample is looped, the sample will decay according to the
settings in the

Decay:

field after note off. (Here, the settings in the

Voice overlap:

field is overridden by NOTE OFF. See page

126)

START

The decay starts after the attack time.
