3-2-01: LEVEL / 3-2-02: RATE

The TG500’s main AEG (Amplitude Envelope generator) has five individually

programmable rates and two levels for exceptional envelope programming flexibility.

Next to the fundamental waveform used, the amplitude envelope is one of the most

important factors determining the overall sound of a voice.

Although the AEG levels and rates are accessed via separate screens, they will be

described together in this section in order to provide a clearer overall picture of AEG

operation.

(Amplitude EG attack/hold mode)

Range:  atk,  hold

The “atk” and “hold” mode settings affect the initial attack of the sound,

determining how the amplitude envelope begins. In the “atk” mode, the enve-

lope begins from zero level, reaching the maximum AWM level at a rate deter-

mined by the R1 (Rate 1) parameter. In this mode there will always be a slight

delay between the initiation of a note and maximum level.
