Creating Time-Varying
Change in Volume
(Amplifier Envelope)
On acoustic instruments, change in volume occurs
over the duration of each note. For example, on a
piano, the volume reaches the maximum level imme-
diately, and then gradually decays to silence (decay-
type instruments). On instruments such as an organ,
the volume remains constant as long as the note is
held (sustain-type instruments). The parameters of the
A-ENV (amplifier envelope) section let you specify
this type of time-varying change in volume (the
Amplifier Envelope).
Amplifier Envelope Settings
1. [ENV SELECT] several times to select AMP.
2. Use the [A]/[D]/[S]/[R] sliders to adjust the
amplifier envelope values.

[A] (Attack Time)
The time from when the keyboard pad is pressed until
the maximum volume is reached.
Higher settings will cause the volume to change over a
longer time.
[D] (Decay Time)
The time from when the maximum volume is reached
until the Sustain Level is reached.
Higher settings will cause the volume to change over a
longer time.
[S] (Sustain Level)
The level at which the volume reaches a steady state.
Higher settings will also raise the volume.
[R] (Release Time)
The time from when the keyboard pad is released
until the volume decays to silence.
Higher settings will cause the volume to change over a
longer time.
Making More Detailed Settings
1. Hold down [EDIT] and press keyboard pad
[8].
The display will show the A-ENV section setting page.
2. Use PAGE [<] [>] to select parameters with-
in the section, and edit them.
