Copying the Note Parameter
The various settings you make on the parameter screen effect the note number. When a compli-
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.
To open the Copy Note Parameters window, select the
Note:
field and press OPEN WINDOW.

•
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.
