Parameter
The higher the Attack Rate, the longer sounds take to reach the maximum
Attack Rate
volume. When using tones with Attack Rate high, use longer notes or select
(15 levels)
slower tempo.
Decay Rate
Lower Decay Rate to shorten the time sounds reach down to Sustain Level
(16 levels)
The Sustain Level for a Normal Tone equals the sustained volume. For
Sustain Level
Step-Down Tones, Sustain Level measures the volume at which Ring Tone
(16 levels)
begins to decrease. The higher the Sustain Level, the higher the volume.
Sustain Rate
The lower the Sustain Rate, the longer the Sustain Level volume is
(16 levels)
sustained. 16 is Normal Tone, and other levels are Step-Down Tones.
The Release Rate for a Normal Tone equals the time from beginning to end
of a sound. For Step-Down Tones, Release Rate measures the time from
Release Rate
when a sound begins to decrease until it ends completely. The lower the
(16 levels)
Release Rate, the sooner the sound ends. For sustaining effects, increase
Release Rate.
KEYOFF Nullify
Choose On to avoid sound skipping of Step-Down Tones including those in
(On/Off)
DRUM
Wave Select
Select from 29 waveforms
(29 types)
Vibrato
Vibrato is a periodic variation in pitch
9
(four levels/Off)
AM Modulation
The higher the AM Modulation level, the stronger the tremolo (periodic
(four levels/Off)
changes in loudness)
Feed Back
Set Feed Back (not available for some Operators)
(eight levels)
+
When Release Rate is set high for Normal Tones, rests may be ignored in playback.

Parameter
Effect Level
Effect Level affects cycle time of wavering quality in pitch or loudness.
(four levels)
Select high level to shorten the cycle.
Basic Octave
Adjust octave of tones
(four levels)
Panpot measures the position of sounds, which varies by combination of L
Panpot
(left) and R (right). Sound bias is emphasized as the value difference
(31 levels)
increases.
Sustain (On/Off)
Choose On to extend sounds
Vibration Level
Select higher level for stronger vibrato
(four levels/Off)
Basic Octave, Sustain and Vibration Level settings are not available for WT
Original Tone.
