Solo Point
The Solo Point button basically switches off the entire vector envelope generator. If
Solo Point is set to on, no dynamic modulations are applied by the vector envelope. In
this scenario, the currently visible cursor positions of the Triangle and Square are
permanently in effect. These cursor positions match the currently selected vector
envelope point.
If you select another vector envelope point (by clicking on it), you will engage its
Triangle and Square cursor positions immediately. If Solo Point is set to on, the newly
selected point will become the solo point.
Note: You can independently switch off the vector modulation of the Square by setting
Vector Mode off, as outlined on page 241.
Env Modes Normal and Finish
If the Env Mode menu is set to Normal, the release phase (the phase after the sustain
point) will begin as soon as you release the key (note off). The release phase will start
from the vector envelope point where you released the key.
 If the loop is switched off, and the vector envelope reaches the sustain point, the
sustain point will be played for as long as you hold the key.
 If the loop is switched on (see “Loop Mode”, on page 247), and the loop point is
positioned before the sustain point, the loop will be played for as long as you hold a
key.
 If the loop is switched on, and the loop point is positioned after the sustain point,
the loop will be played after the release of a key.
In Env Mode Finish, the vector envelope will not immediately commence the release
phase when you release the key. Rather, it will play all points (for their full duration)
until the last point is reached, regardless of whether you hold the key or release it.
 If the loop is switched off, the sustain point will be ignored. The vector envelope will
end on its last point, regardless of whether you hold the key or release it.
 If the loop is switched on, the vector envelope will play all points until it reaches the
loop point, and then play the loop for as long as the sound ends. It does not matter if
the loop point is before or after the sustain point S.
 If the loop is switched on, and Loop Count is set to a value other than “infinite,” the
vector envelope will continue on to following points after the selected number of
loop repeats. If Loop Count is set to “infinite,” the number of segments after the loop
is irrelevant. See “Loop Count”, on page 248.
