The Amplitude Envelope
The Amplitude Envelope parameters let you control how the volume of a sound should
change over time - from the moment a note is struck to the moment it is released
again.
Parameters
Most of the Amplitude Envelope parameters are identical to those of the Modulation
Envelope. So for a detailed description of the following parameters, please refer to the
modulation envelope section on page 180:
Attack
Hold
Decay
Sustain
Release
Delay
Key To Decay
The following are the parameters that are unique for the Amp Envelope section:
D Level
This knob sets the level of the zone. Turn it to the right to raise the level.
D Spread and Pan modes
These two parameters are used for controlling the stereo (pan) position of the
sound. The Spread knob determines the sound’s width in the stereo image (how
far left – right the notes will be spread out). If this is set to “0”, no spread will take
place. The Mode selector switch is used for choosing which type of spread you
want to apply:
D Pan
This controls the stereo balance of the output pair to which a zone is routed. In the
middle position, the signal appears equally strong on the left and right channel in a
stereo pair. By turning the knob to the left or right, you can change the stereo bal-
ance.
Note that if you for instance turn the Pan knob all the way to the left, you cause the
signal to be output from the left channel of the stereo pair only.
You can use this to treat a stereo output as two independent mono outputs, if re-
quired.
See page 175 for information on routing zones to output pairs.

Key This will make the pan position shift gradually from left to right, the higher
up on the keyboard you play.
Key 2 This will make the pan position shift from left to right and then back again
from right to left in a sequence of eight keys. Playing 4 adjacent semi-
tones thus makes the pan position gradually go from left to right. The next
4 higher semitone notes will then change the pan position from right to
left in the same way, and this cycle will then be repeated.
Jump This will make the pan position jump between left and right each time a
note is played.
