L
Release Rate (Pch EG Rel Rate)
Range: 0 — 63
This determines the Release rate of the Pitch EG, or how
long the Pitch EG effect sustains after a note is released.
Rate Velocity Sensitivity (Sens.Rate)
Range: -7 — +7
This determines the degree to which the Pitch EG Rate is
affected by velocity.  For a setting of 0, velocity has no
effect on the Pitch EG.  For positive settings, the stronger
you play, the faster the Pitch changes (shorter EG rates).
For negative settings, the softer you play, the faster the
Pitch changes (longer EG rates).
Level Velocity Sensitivity (Sens.Lvl)
Range: -7 — +7
This determines the degree to which the Pitch EG Level is
affected by velocity.  For a setting of 0, velocity has no
effect on the Pitch EG Level.  For positive settings, the
stronger you play, the the greater the amount of pitch
change (higher EG levels).  For negative settings, the softer
you play, the greater the amount of pitch change.
Depth (Pch EG Depth)
Range: 1/2, 1, 2, 4 octaves
This determines the overall pitch range (in octaves) of the
Pitch EG.
Pitch EG Rate Parameters (Rate)
The Pitch EG (envelope generator) parameters allow you to
shape how the pitch of the Voice changes over time.  By
pressing 
& from this page, you can select the graphic
Pitch EG Edit page, for more detailed editing of the Pitch
EG parameters.  (See page 55.)
Keep in mind that the EG parameters affect each other, and
are affected by how long a note is held.  For example, if
Decay is set to a low value and the note is held for a long
time, you may not be able to hear changes made to the
Release parameter.
L
Attack Rate (Pch EG Atk Rate)
Range: 0 — 63
This determines the Attack rate of the Pitch EG, or how
long it takes for the pitch to change after a note is played.
L
Decay 1 Rate (Pch EG Dcy1 Rate)
Range: 0 — 63
This determines the first Decay rate of the Pitch EG, or
how rapidly the pitch goes to the Decay 1 Level value.
(See page 56.)
L
Decay 2 Rate (Pch EG Dcy2 Rate)
Range: 0 — 63
This determines the second Decay rate of the Pitch EG, or
how rapidly the pitch goes to the Decay 2 Level value.
(See page 56.)
