• The

FADEOUT(MSECS) field:

This field sets the amount of time over which the sound fades down to

silence at its end, measured in milliseconds. This is different than common

"initial decay" or "release" envelope parameters since the decay will always

end exactly at the end of the sample, this setting actually sets the position

within the sound at which the decay will begin. This field is identical to the

field of the same name in the

SAMPLE NEW SOUND screen.

• The

VEL>START(MS) field:

This field allows the incoming note velocity to modulate the start address of

the sound. This is very useful for simulating dynamics on drums because a

drum sound played from a position after its start sounds very much like the

same drum played softly. The contents of this field sets the maximum time

(in milliseconds) which will be added to the contents of the

START field. If

the incoming velocity is 1, the entire contents of this field is added to the

START field, causing the sound to start playing from a position after its

initial attack; if the incoming velocity is 127, nothing is added to the

START

field, causing a faster attack time; and for velocities between l and 127, a

proportional amount of the contents of this field is added to the

START

field.

• The

VEL>ATTACK(MS) field:

This field allows the incoming note velocity to modulate the attack time of

the sound. This is very useful for simulating dynamics on drums because a

drum sound played with a soft attack time sounds very much like the same

drum played softly. The contents of the field sets the maximum time (in

milliseconds) which will be added to the

ATTACK field. If the incoming

velocity is 1, the entire contents of this field is added to the

ATTACK field,

causing a slower attack time; if the incoming velocity is 127, nothing is added

to the

ATTACK field, causing a faster attack time; and for velocities between

1 and 127, a proportional amount of the contents of this field is added to the

ATTACK field.

NOTE: The ATTACK, FADEOUT, VEL>START, and VEL>ATTACK

fields have maximum values which depend on the value of the sample

length and the values set in the other fields.

• The

VEL>VOL(0-100) field:

This field allows the incoming note velocity to modulate the volume level of

the sound.

A maximum setting of 100 is normal and produces full control

of volume by the incoming note velocity setting. At the other extreme, a

setting of 0 will cause the drum to play at full volume regardless of the note

velocity.

NOTE: All of the parameters in the EDIT A SOUND screens are

saved with the individual sound file except the

DOUBLE PLAY

parameters, which are saved within SET files.
