7-31
Hold Until Decay (TilDec)
When on, this parameter causes all notes in the layer to sustain through all three attack
segments in their amplitude envelopes even if the notes have been released. Looped
amplitude envelopes will not loop, however, if the notes are released before reaching the end
of the nal attack segment. Notes will go into their normal releases if they are released after
the envelope has looped. When set to O, notes will release as soon as a Note O message is
generated.
The PITCH Page
Pressing the PITCH soft button takes you to the DSPCTL page with the Pitch function
highlighted. See The DSP Control (DSPCTL) Page on page 7-38 for more information on
the Pitch function.
The AMP Page
Pressing the AMP soft button takes you to the DSPCTL page with the Amp function
(labeled as “Level”) highlighted. See The DSP Control (DSPCTL) Page on page 7-38 for
more information on the Amp function.
The Algorithm (ALG) Page
Press the ALG soft button to call up the Algorithm (ALG) page. e top line of the display
gives you the usual mode reminder, and tells you which layer you’re looking at, as well as how
many layers are in the current program. You can view the ALG pages of any other layers in
the program by using the Channel/Layer/Zone buttons.
e basic denition: an algorithm is the “wiring” (signal path) of a sample to the audio
outputs, through a series of digital signal processing (DSP) functions that you select. e
Forte SE’s algorithms are the core of Variable Architecture Synthesis Technology. e DSP
functions are synthesis tools (lters, oscillators, etc). that you assign to the various stages of
the algorithm. e DSP functions you choose determine the type of synthesis you use.
