Chapter 5 Setting/Changing Sounds (Patches)
Changing Tone Release (RELEASE)
With the “RELEASE” setting, you can change the decay of
the 1st (or 2nd) tone you selected with 1ST SELECT (or 2ND
SELECT). By increasing the release time, the sound fades
away more gradually at the end of a note, even after the
strings stop vibrating. With a short release, the sound stops
at the moment the string stops vibrating, allowing you to
play staccato, with real “bite.”
