Legato
When sheet music uses the term “Legato” it means
to play a passage smoothly, with no rests between
the notes. Likewise, when this parameter is set
to On, the envelope will not retrigger if previous
voice has not been released. This allows a lter
envelope to remain at its sustain stage when a
series of notes are played, for example, which can
help a solo or a bass line to be more expressive.
Reset
The Reset parameter is only available when Legato
is O. When Reset is On an envelope will reset
when a new note is played, even if the previous
note has not been released.
The dierence between Reset On and O is easy
to hear with a monophonic patch. But with a
polyphonic patch the behavior is more obvious
after the available polyphony has been exceeded.
You’ll need a sustain pedal for the following
example.
1. Set speaker/headphone levels low; this
could be loud.
2. Press [INIT] twice to initialize the patch
3. Access [FILTER 1] and set Type to HP MS20
4. Set Cuto to 50, Resonance to 100, and
ENV1 amount to 64
5. Access [ENV 1] and set Attack and Decay to
~1 second
6. Hold down the sustain pedal
7. Play 7 notes on the lowest C
8. Wait for the lter to reach the sustain level
for all 7 voices
9. Play the 8th note and listen as the lter
sweeps through all frequencies
10. Wait until the lter stabilizes for voice 8,
then play C again.
11. Listen as the lter sweeps from the sustain
level, not the lowest frequencies.
12. Release the pedal.
13. Press the Page Down arrow and set Reset to
On.
14. Repeat steps 6-12.
15. The dierence: The lter sweeps through all
frequencies for all notes, not just the rst 8.
In summary, here’s what to expect with a
polyphonic patch:
• Reset = On: The 9th voice starts the envelope
from its beginning.
• Reset = O: The 9th voice starts the envelope
from the sustain level.
Freerun
An envelope set to Freerun passes through all
segments, even if the note is released before
the end of the decay segment. If the note is held
then the envelope proceeds to the sustain level
and remains there until the note is released, after
which the envelope proceeds through the release
segment.
Envelope loop
This parameter enables an envelope to loop a
specic number of times (between 2 and 50), and
when set to Innite it can loop forever. This means
an envelope can even be used as a complex LFO
(if 5 LFOs aren’t enough!). The loop includes the
attack, hold, and decay segments.

6 3 Tap Trigger Tap button to trigger envelope. It does not sustain while the
button is held.
[1] In order for audio output to be possible, TrigSrc1 of Envelope 2 is set to Note On and cannot be
changed. All four TrigSrc values can be changed for the other envelopes.
