In addition to the amplitude and filter envelope generators, the SY85 has an
independent pitch EG that can be used to produce subtle or pronounced time-based
pitch variations. The pitch EG has 5 programmable levels and 4 rates for extended
flexibility.
VOICE EDIT MODE / 4:Pitch EG

Level/Rate

Range: LEVEL, RATE
Controls: [F1]
This “switch” determines whether the level parameters (L0 … L3, RL1) or
the rate parameters (Loop, R1 … R3, RR, and RS), described below, are
selected for editing.

L0 … L3, RL1 (Levels 0 … 3, release level 1)

Range: -63 ... +63
Controls: [CS3] … [CS7], [-1] [+1], Dial
These parameters work in conjunction with the rate parameters described
below to determine the “shape” of the pitch envelope generator for the selected
element.
Unlike the amplitude envelope generator, the “Level” parameters of which
actually correspond to volume levels, the pitch envelope generator level param-
eters correspond to pitch. Plus “+” values produce higher pitch while minus “-”
values produce lower pitch. “0” level values produce normal pitch.
