Appendix
Level Determines the Level settings for the Pitch EG. The Level parameters let you set the amount of the
pitch deviation based on the standard pitch specified at the Coarse (Coarse Tuning) and Fine (Fine
Tuning) parameters in the Tune (page 74) section for each envelope point.
Settings: -128 – +0 – +127
Hold Level
Determines the initial pitch at the moment a Note On message is received.
Attack Level
Determines the normal pitch reached when the envelope is changed from the Hold Level for the first time.
Decay 1 Level
Determines the pitch level to which the sound changes from the Attack Level after the Decay 1 Time elapses.
Decay 2 Level
Determines the sustain-level pitch which will be maintained while a note is held.
Release Level
Determines the final pitch reached after a Note Off message is received.
Time Velocity Sens
(EG Time Velocity Sensitivity)
Determines how the PEG transition time (speed) responds to velocity, or the strength with which the
note is pressed. When this is set to a positive value, high velocities result in a fast PEG transition
speed while low velocities result in a slow speed, as shown below. When this is set to a negative
value, high velocities result in a slow AEG transition speed while low velocities result in a fast speed.
When this is set to 0, the amplitude transition speed does not change, no matter what the velocity.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
Segment
(EG Time Velocity Sensitivity
Segment)
Determines the part of the Pitch EG affected by the EG Time Velocity Sens parameter.
Settings: attack, atk+dcy, decay, atk+rls, all
attack
Time Vel Sens affects the Attack Time and Hold Time.
atk+dcy (attack+decay)
Time Vel Sens affects the Attack Time, Decay 1 Time, and Hold Time.
decay
Time Vel Sens affects the Decay 1/2 Time.
atk+rls (attack+release)
Time Vel Sens affects the Attack Time, Release Time, and Hold Time.
all
Time Vel Sens affects all the Pitch EG Time parameters.
EG Depth Determines the range over which the pitch envelope changes. A setting of 0 will cause the pitch not
to change. The farther from 0 the value is, the larger the pitch range. For negative values, the pitch
change is reversed.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
EG Depth Vel Sens
(EG Depth Velocity Sensitivity)
Determines how the pitch range of the Element responds to velocity. When this is set to a positive
value, high velocities cause the pitch range to expand and low velocities cause it to contract, as
shown below. When this is set to a negative value, the opposite effect is produced: High velocities
cause the pitch range to contract and low velocities cause it to expand. When this is set to 0, the
pitch envelope does not change no matter what the velocity.
Settings: -64 – +0 – +63
EG Depth Curve
(EG Depth Velocity Sensitivity
Curve)
The five curves determine how the pitch range will be
generated according to the velocity (strength) with which
you play notes on an external keyboard. The selected curve
is indicated by the graphic at the right of this parameter on
the window. The horizontal axis of the graph represents
velocity, and the vertical axis represents pitch range.
