Velocity (Keyboard Velocity Tracking)<br />

This parameter determines the extent to which the note velocity,<br />

or how hard you hit the key, affects the envelope. When set to<br />

0%, the envelope always comes out full-strength, regardless of<br />

how lightly you hit the key. When set to 100%, the amplitude of<br />

the envelope directly matches the velocity, and very light<br />

keystrokes will result in very weak envelopes. Parameter values in<br />

the middle scale accordingly.<br />

In all cases, a hard keystroke produces a strong envelope. This<br />

parameter just lets you choose the envelope strength for weak<br />

keystrokes.<br />

Reset<br />

on every note<br />

Whenever you press a key, the envelope starts at the beginning.<br />

unless legato<br />

If you play one note while holding down another, the new note’s<br />

envelope starts at the current position of the held note.<br />

Freerun<br />

This parameter determines the how the envelope treats its sustain<br />

portion. If set to off, then the envelope transitions from the attack<br />

stage to the decay stage to the sustain stage, as long as you are<br />

holding the key down. As soon as you take your finger off the<br />

key, the envelope will move into the release stage.<br />

“off” “on”<br />

If this parameter is set to on, then there is no sustain stage—the<br />

envelope transitions from attack to decay to release. Furthermore,<br />

it doesn’t matter how long you hold down the key; the envelope<br />

always follows this fixed-length program.<br />

If you are using the Loop feature of the envelope, this parameter<br />

will have further effects on the envelope behavior, and these will<br />

be discussed below.<br />
