FILTER

FILTER settings determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a

certain frequency range.

EG

The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound characteristics of natural acoustic instruments — such as the quick attack and decay of percussion sounds, or the long release of a sustained piano tone.

ATTACK ...... Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the key is played. The higher the value, the slower the attack.

DECAY........ Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly lower level than maximum). The higher the value, the slower the decay.

RELEASE ..... Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after

the key is released. The higher the value, the slower the release.

If RELEASE is set to a large value, the sustain becomes long.
