Creating a PatchCautions When Using a LoopWaveformWith many acoustic instruments such as piano and sax, extremetimbral changes occur during the first few moments of each note.This initial attack is what defines much of the instrument’s character.For such waveforms, it is best to use the complex tonal changes ofthe attack portion of the waveform just as they are, and to use theenvelope only to modify the decay portion. If you attempt to use theenvelope to modify the attack portion as well, the characteristics ofthe original waveform may prevent you from getting the sound thatyou intend.fig.06-006.eLevelTone change storedwith the waveLooped portionSaving Patches You’veCreated (Write)Changes you make to sound settings are temporary, and will be lostif you turn off the power or select another sound.
