Making a User SoundThere are two steps to making a User Sound: Editing the effect settings - as described in the previous section -and editing the sound’s character. You can adjust seven parameters of the sound character: Vibrato Depth, VibratoDelay, Brightness, Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release.Vibrato Depth controls the depth of the Vibrato effect. Positive values produce a deeper Vibrato. Negative valuesproduce a shallower Vibrato. The actual speed of the vibrato is preset for each sound.Vibrato Delay determines how soon the vibrato effect will start after you press a key. Positive values produce alonger delay time before the vibrato effect starts. Negative values produce a shorter delay time before the vibratoeffect starts. When this parameter is set to 0 the vibrato effect starts as soon as you press a key.Brightness controls the Strength of the high frequencies. Higher values produce a brighter sound, lower valuesproduce a darker sound.Attack determines how quickly a sound reaches its maximum volume after you press a key. Positive valuesproduce a slower attack that is more gradual and smooth, while negative values produce a faster attack that ismore percussive in nature.Decay determines how quickly the volume of the sound decreases after it reaches it maximum volume while thekey is still held down. Positive values produce a slower decay, while negative values produce a faster decay.Sustain determines the volume level of the sound after the decay portion of the sound is complete. Positive valuesproduce a louder volume, while negative values produce a softer volume.Release determines how long it takes for the sound to fade away to silence after you release the key. Positivevalues produce a slower fade, while negative values produce a faster fade.Note:For some sounds, changing the values for these parameters may have no effect. Each sound has a pre-programmedsetting for each of these parameters. When you change the values you are increasing or decreasing the value from thepre-programmed setting. If the setting for a certain sound parameter is 0 for example, then changing the value will haveno effect.¡ To make a User Sound: Step 1Select the sound you want to edit, then touch the SOUND EDIT button.The LCD screen will display the Sound Edit Menu.
