Designed after the 

CURVE

 function of the 

function, 

SHAPE

 refers to the slope (acceleration

or deceleration attributes) of the envelope’s
Attack, Decay 1, Decay 2, Release 1 and Release

2 stages.

This parameter is active at all times for all time
parameters except 

DELAY

. To select a particular

slope for a time parameter, select the parameter
by tabbing with soft button 

, then use soft knob

 to select the desired slope. The display will

show an envelope graphic that will depict the
slope selected for each stage.

See the 

SHAPE

 topic on the following page for a

detailed description of the A6’s stage slopes.

➟ 

R1TIME

Release 1 Time

OFF ···

131.05 S

The amount of time it takes the envelope to
decrease from the 

 to the 

; this is the envelope stage entered when

a Note Off occurs.

➟ 

R2TIME

Release 2 Time

2 M ···

131.05 S

The amount of time it takes the envelope to

decrease from the 

 to zero, from

2 milliseconds to 131.05 seconds. Note that
Release 2 (and also Attack, previous page)
differs from the other envelope times in that a

2ms time minimum is required.

Important Note: If 

R2TIME

 is set to its maximum

value, the envelope will enter into “infinite
release”. This means that when the envelope
reaches this stage, it will hold at its 

R2LEVL

 (see

page 141) indefinitely until you change to
another Program or Mix, or turn the A6 off.

To alert you that 

R2TIME

 has been set to its

maximum, the 

 LED on the front panel for

that envelope will light.
