A NDROMEDA A6 R EFERENCE M ANUAL 151
a. if the Note On or Sustain Pedal On are held until the Release 2
Level is reached, the envelope will hold at that level until a Note
Off and/or a Sustain Pedal Off occur. The envelope will then
proceed to the Release 2 stage and continue through to the end.
See
EXAMPLE 1 .
b. if the Note On and Sustain Pedal On are released before the
Release 2 Level is reached, the envelope will jump to the Release
2 stage (at the current level) and proceed to 0 within the time of
the Release 2 Stage. See
EXAMPLE 2 .
2. If a Note Off occurs before the Sustain stage is reached, a Sustain
Pedal On will cause the envelope to jump to the Sustain/Release 1
Stage and begin the transition to the Release 2 level until a Sustain
Pedal Off occurs. The envelope will then transition to (if not already
at) the Release 2 stage time (at the current level) and proceed to 0
within the time of the Release 2 Stage. See EXAMPLE 3b (Note
Off/Pedal On during D2TIME ) and EXAMPLE 4 (Note Off/Pedal On
during D1TIME , Pedal Off during SUSREL ).
Key Release: 1. If a Note Off event (assuming that Sustain Pedal is Off) occurs
while the envelope is in the Sustain/Release 1 stage, the envelope
will jump to the Release 2 stage and continue through to the end.
See
EXAMPLE 2 again.
2. If a Note Off event (assuming that Sustain Pedal is Off) occurs
before the envelope reaches the Sustain/Release1 stage, the
envelope will jump immediately to the Release 2 stage (at current
level) and proceed to 0 according to the time setting of the Release 2
Stage. See
EXAMPLE 3a (Note Off during D2TIME ).
SUSREL, EXAMPLE 1
This is a SUSREL envelope with the
Note Off occurring after the RELEASE 2
stage was reached.
Note that a Sustain Pedal On will also
maintain the transition through the
SUSREL stage and remain at the
RELEASE 2 level until a Note Off or
Pedal Off occurs.
