Under normal conditions,
the DX’s envelope

Using the EG Forced Damping
parameter, the envelope is

Even though the DX7s is a 16-voice synthesizer, these voices can be used up quickly
when you use a Sustain Footswitch pedal. When you do exceed the DX’s note capacity,
the first notes played will stop sounding to make way for the new notes being played.
Under normal operating conditions, the DX7s considers these new notes to be
continuations of the first notes; therefore, the initial portions of the attack envelope will
not be retriggered:
If you wish to avoid this effect, turn the Forced Damping function on. It will force the
envelope to retrigger for each new note played:
