Set one of two release phase options in the Env Mode menu: Normal or Finish.
In Normal mode, the release phase—the phase after the Sustain point—begins as soon as you release the key (note off). In other words, the release phase starts from the Vector Envelope point where you released the key. The following behaviors apply:
If looping is turned off and the Vector Envelope reaches the Sustain point, the Sustain point value is retained for as long as you hold a key.
If looping is turned on and the Loop point is positioned before the Sustain point, the loop cycles for as long as you hold a key.
If looping is turned on and the Loop point is positioned after the Sustain point, the Vector Envelope loop continues to cycle until the overall release phase of the sound, as determined by the ENV 3 Release parameter, has completed.
If the Env Mode menu is set to Finish, the Vector Envelope does not immediately begin the release phase when you release the key. Rather, it plays all points for their full duration until the end point is reached, regardless of whether you hold the key or release it. The following behaviors apply:
If looping is turned off, the Sustain point is ignored. The Vector Envelope completes all points up to the end point, regardless of whether you hold the key or release it.
If looping is turned on, the Vector Envelope plays all points until it reaches the Loop point, and then plays loop until the end point is reached. It does not matter if the Loop point is positioned before or after the Sustain point.
If looping is turned on, and Loop Count is set to a value other than “infinite,” the Vector Envelope continues on to the subsequent points—following completion of the specified number of loop repetitions. If Loop Count is set to “infinite,” the points after the loop are irrelevant.
