Time Tracking (On or Off)
Page 8
This determines whether or not keyboard position will affect the cycle speed of the
envelope. When turned on, playing toward the higher end of the keyboard will result
in a faster envelope cycle; playing toward the lower end of the keyboard will result
in a slower envelope cycle. However, this does not affect the attack time, but only the
decay, sustain, sustain decay and release segments. This feature will result in only a
subtle change. The envelopeÕs timing doubles or halves over a range of two octaves.

Sustain Pedal (On or Off)
Page 9
This determines whether or not the Sustain Pedal will have an effect on the envelope.
When turned on, holding down the Sustain Pedal while playing short notes is
virtually the equivalent to holding down those notes on the keyboard with some
subtle but important differences. If the Delay and Attack are set to 0 and either the
Decay is 0 or the Sustain is 99, the envelope will immediately jump to the Sustain
Decay stage (if not already there) when the note is released and the sustain pedal is
held down. If a long attack is set, and the envelope has not reached the end of the
attack segment when the note is released, the envelope will jump immediately to the
sustain decay segment. If a long delay is set, and the envelope has not reached the
attack segment before the note is released, the envelope will remain at 0. However, if
Freerun is turned on, the envelope will continue through the delay, attack, decay and
sustain segments and remain at the sustain decay segment. This is exactly the same
as holding down the note on the keyboard. When the Sustain Pedal parameter is
turned off, the Sustain Pedal will have no effect on the envelope.

Level (00 to 99)
Page 10
This is the overall output level of the envelope. If this is set to 00, the Filter Envelope
will have no output and will have no effect, while at 99 it will have a maximum effect
on whatever it is being routed to.

When selecting Filter Envelope Level as a modulation destination, set the Filter
Envelope level to 00 if the Modulation Level is above 0 (or, set the Filter Envelope
level to 99 if the Modulation Amount is below 0).

Velocity Modulation (00 to 99)
Page 11
This parameter is called VEL>FLevel in the display. It determines how keyboard
dynamics will affect the envelope level. When set to 99, note velocity controls the
envelopeÕs output; notes played hard will deliver a higher envelope output than
notes played soft. When set to 0, note velocity will have no effect on the envelopeÕs
output level.

envelopeÕs output; notes played hard will deliver a higher envelope output than
notes played soft. When set to 0, note velocity will have no effect on the envelopeÕs
output level.
Note: If the Fenv Level is at 99, a positive value of any sort for VEL>FLevel will have
no effect. Likewise, if VEL>FLevel is at 99 and Fenv Level is at 00, only low velocity
notes will allow a difference to be heard when you change the Fenv Level value. This
is because the Filter Envelope cannot reach an output level higher than 99. You must
add the Fenv Level and VEL>FLevel values together to know if you are trying to
exceed that limit. So, if you have a Fenv Level value of 40, you have enough
headroom in the Filter Envelope to set VEL>FLevel to 59. But if the Fenv Level is set
to 70 and VEL>FLevel is at 45, you're trying to get the Filter Envelope to give an
output of 115 (which it can't do). In this scenario, you should scale back one or the
other (or both) until their combined values do not exceed 99.
