TIME Page Parameters
The TIME page is where the selected envelope’s stage duration ( TIME ) and stage
slope ( SHAPE ) parameters are adjusted.
Tip: Although you can select any parameter simply by turning its corresponding soft
knob, this action also changes the parameter’s value which isn’t always
desirable. Sometimes you just want to review the current settings of the
parameters on a page without changing anything.
On Envelope pages, you can select a parameter without changing its value by
pressing its page’s soft button. For these pages pressing a soft button once
selects the page, pressing it again selects the parameter to the right of the active
parameter in the Parameter Row. Repeated pressings cycle though all
parameters from left to right. We call this handy little feature tabbing.
Parameters in the table below marked with a ➟ are also mod destinations – they can
be modulated by another source.

minimum to maximum amplitude, from 2 milliseconds to

differs from the other envelope times in that a 2ms time
minimum is required.

the D2 LEVEL to SUSTAIN level. The SUSTAIN level is the
target level whether a note is being held or not.
