The following parameters are provided: CUTOFF, ATTACK, DECAY and RELEASE. Make sure that the TONE MODIFY button in the CONTROL KNOBS section is lit. The CONTROL KNOBS are now active and assigned to the Tone Modify parameters for the current sound. Use the CONTROL KNOBS to change the current settings for the selected zone. Each parameter of the TONE MODIFY function has an adjustable range from -50 to +50. 1CUT ATK DCY RLS +50 -20 +40 +10 CUTOFF: ATTACK: DECAY: RELEASE: Raising the CUTOFF level makes the sound brighter, lowering the level makes the sound duller. As the value increases, the attack time becomes longer, which means a slower attack is produced. This parameter controls the amount of time from the peak level to the sustain level of the sound. This parameter controls the amount of time needed for the sound to fade out after the key is released.
