[. . . ] Owner's Manual SPECIAL MESSAGE SECTION PRODUCT SAFETY MARKINGS: Yamaha electronic products may have either labels similar to the graphics shown below or molded/stamped facsimiles of these graphics on the enclosure. The explanation of these graphics appears on this page. Please observe all cautions indicated on this page and those indicated in the safety instruction section. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES: Yamaha strives to produce products that are both user safe and environmentally friendly. [. . . ] The AEG determines how the sound level (amplitude) develops over time. Development begins at Note On, and terminates when the sound dies out. The envelope is defined by four settings, as illustrated below. Level Maximum Level Sustain Level Time Attack Rate Decay Rate Release Rate Note On Note Off 188 Chapter 5 EDIT Mode EG Function Knob 1 Change Page Select P/S · Turn the knob to change to a different page within the EG function. Available pages are: AEG (this page), AEGMode, FEGRate, FEGLevel, FEGMode, PEGRate, PEGLevel, and PEGMode. · Push the knob to move to the Program/Sample Selection screen. (95) Knob 2 AtkRate = 0, . . . , 127 This value sets the attack rate. The meaning of the setting varies according to the setting of the AttackMode parameter on the AEGMode page (191). · If AttackMode is set to "rate", then the AtkRate value sets the rate at which amplitude rises from 0 (at time of Note-On) to its maximum level. · If AttackMode is set to "time", amplitude begins at maximum level immediately upon Note-On, and holds steady for a certain time before beginning to decline. In this case, the AtkRate value determines how long the maximum level is held. (See illustration on page 191. ) Note that higher values produces shorter holding time (faster progression). Chapter 5 Knob 3 DcyRate = 0, . . . , 127 This value sets the decay rate: the rate at which the sound drops from its maximum amplitude to its "sustain" level. Note that this setting is meaningless (there is no decay period) if the SusLvl value (Knob 4) is set to 127. Knob 4 SusLvl = 0, . . . , 127 This value sets the sustain level. The sustain level is the steady level that begins when decay is completed, and continues until Note Off occurs. Knob 5 RelRate = 0, . . . , 127 This value sets the release rate: the rate at which the amplitude drops from the sustain level to zero following Note Off. A setting of 127 causes sound to stop immediately when Note Off occurs.

(95) Knob 2 RateScl = -7, . . . , +7 This setting determines how the AEG rates (attack, decay, and release rates) vary according to keyboard location (pitch) of the played note. Set the value to 0 to keep rates the same for all keyboard notes. Positive settings cause rates to increase as you move up the keyboard, while negative settings cause rates to decrease as you move up the keyboard. Knob 3 Vel Rate = -63, . . . , +63 This value sets the AEG's velocity sensitivity: the amount by which the AEG rates (attack, decay, and release rates) vary in response to the velocity (force) of the played note. Set the value to 0 to keep rates the same for all velocities. Positive settings cause rates to increase as velocity increases, while negative settings cause rates to decrease as velocity increases. 190 Chapter 5 EDIT Mode EG Function Knob 4 AttackMode = rate, hold This value sets the AEG attack mode -- the way that amplitude behaves immediately following Note On. rate Level starts at 0 (when Note On occurs) and rises to maximum, then begins to drop.
