Layer Edit 2
The functions in this menu include AEG (Amplitude
Envelope Generator) and LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)
parameters, which are essential for creating each Layer
voice. The parameters can be set for each individual Layer
in a Performance.
■ AEG (Amplitude Envelope Generator)
This sets the parameters for the Amplitude Envelope
Generator. The AEG lets you shape how the volume level of
each Layer voice changes over time, from when a key is
struck, then released, and how the sound decays. There are
four parameters: ATK TIME (Attack Time), DCY TIME (Decay
Time), SUS LEVEL (Sustain Level) and REL TIME (Release
Time).
n Each musical instrument has a unique envelope curve which plays
an important role in determining its sound characteristics. The AEG
simulates the change of the volume envelope curve over time.
n Depending on the voice selected, changing certain parameters may
not produce a noticeable effect.
ATK TIME (Attack Time): Determines the time required for a
sound to reach its maximum volume level when a note is
played.
DCY TIME (Decay Time): Determines the time required for
a sound to reach its Sustain Level from a maximum volume
level while the key is held.
SUS LEVEL (Sustain Level): Sets the Sustain Level. The
volume will be maintained at this level for as long as the key
is held.

Although parameters marked with an asterisk (*) cannot be
modified, you can assign them to the ASSIGN 2 knob.
You can also select each parameter by inputting the
corresponding number using the NUMERIC KEYPAD (0 ~ 9)
and [ENTER].
4. Press PARAM [UP/DOWN] to move the arrow cursor
to the Sensitivity area in the LCD.
5. Press DATA [UP/DOWN] to set the knob sensitivity.
Settings:
Parameters can be set between -32 and +32 for assignment numbers 1
through 4.
n As an example, say you have selected the Volume parameter and set
the knob sensitivity to the positive value “+32”. The volume is “0”
when the knob is turned counter-clockwise to the far left, and “127”
when the knob is turned clockwise to the far right.
If the knob sensitivity is set to the negative value “-32” the volume
is “127” when the knob is turned to the far left and “0” when the
knob is turned to the far right. If the sensitivity value is low, the
control range of the knob will be narrowed and limited.
6. Repeat the above steps to set a different Parameter Type
and knob Sensitivity value to each of the four
assignment numbers.
n When the PARAM screen is displayed, you can select the Parameter
Type or change the knob Sensitivity using the ASSIGN 1/DATA knob
or the NUMERIC KEYPAD (0 ~ 9) and [ENTER].
