INIT LEVEL (Initial Level): Sets the initial pitch level when a
key is played.
ATK TIME (Attack Time): Determines the time required for a
sound to reach its Attack Level after a note is played.
ATK LEVEL (Attack Level): Sets the initially targeted level
after a note is played.
DCY TIME (Decay Time): Determines the time required for
a sound to reach its basic pitch from the Attack Level while
the key is held.
REL TIME (Release Time): Determines the time it takes for
the basic pitch to reach the Release Level after the key has
been released.
REL LEVEL (Release Level): Sets the last targeted level after
the key is released.
Settings:
PEG Init: -64 ~ +63
PEG Atk Tm: -63 ~ +63
PEG Atk Lv: -64 ~ +63
PEG Dcy Tm: -63 ~ +63

ATK TIME (Attack Time): Determines the time required for a
sound to reach its maximum cutoff frequency level when a
note is played.
DCY TIME (Decay Time): Determines the time required for
a sound to reach its Sustain Level from a maximum level
while the key is held.
SUS LEVEL (Sustain Level): Sets the Sustain Level. The cutoff
frequency will be maintained at this level for as long as the
key is held.
REL TIME (Release Time): Determines the time it takes for
the cutoff frequency to reach the level preset for each voice
after the key has been released.

■ PEG (Pitch Envelope Generator)
This sets the parameters for the Pitch Envelope Generator.
The PEG lets you shape how the pitch of each Layer voice
changes over time, from when a key is struck, then released,
and how the sound decays. There are six parameters: INIT
LEVEL (Initial Level), ATK TIME (Attack Time), ATK LEVEL
(Attack Level), DCY TIME (Decay Time), REL TIME (Release
Time) and REL LEVEL (Release Level).
n Since the PEG simulates the change of the pitch envelope curve
over time, you can create everything from SFX type effects to the
subtle pitch changes of a wind instrument.
n Depending on the voice selected, changing certain parameters may
not produce a noticeable effect.
