Freeze Pedal (FrzPdl)
This parameter activates or deactivates the layer’s response to Freeze pedal messages (MIDI 69).
The Freeze pedal control causes all notes that are on to sustain without decay until the Freeze
pedal control goes off. If a note is already decaying, it will freeze at that level.
Ignore Release (IgnRel)
When on, the layer will ignore all Note Off messages received by the PC3. This should be used
only with sounds that decay naturally, otherwise the sounds will sustain forever. When IgnRel is
off, the layer responds normally to Note Off messages. This parameter can come in handy when
your PC3 is slaved to a drum machine or sequencer, which sometimes generates Note Ons and
Note Offs so close together that the envelope doesn’t have time to play before the note is
released. You’ll also want to use this parameter when you’re playing staccato, and the sound
you’re playing has a long amplitude envelope. This parameter should be used only with notes
that eventually decay to silence. Sustaining sounds will sustain forever.
Hold Through Attack (ThrAtt)
When on, this parameter causes all notes in the layer to sustain through the entire first attack
segment of their amplitude envelopes, even if the notes have been released. If you have a sound
with a slow attack, or an attack that’s delayed with the delay control, setting this parameter to
On will make sure your notes reach full amplitude even if you’re playing fast. When set to
Off
,
notes will release as soon as you release the note (generate a Note Off). If the first attack segment
of the layer’s amplitude envelope is very short, you probably won’t notice a difference between
values of
On
and
Off
.
Hold Until Decay (TilDec)
When on, this parameter causes all notes in the layer to sustain through all three attack
segments in their amplitude envelopes even if the notes have been released. Looped amplitude
envelopes will not loop, however, if the notes are released before reaching the end of the final
attack segment. Notes will go into their normal releases if they are released after the envelope
has looped. When set to
Off
, notes will release as soon as a Note Off message is generated.
