  • How one can bring long notes to life, fill them with breath

    Hello! Please forgive me, maybe my question is very silly (I'm new to Synchron-player, Special edition, Vol. 1), even maybe a few questions...

    I can't make the long notes to "breathe" a bit, it sounds very flat... But that's not even the problem. If you soften the attack in A(H)DSR (increase its value), note connection is much softer (especially in legal patches, this is wery good), but the note itself literally "swells up", it sounds crescendo even if you significantly reduce sustain. It's not very beautiful and natural. How you can avoid this crescendo? To make it even simpler, is it possible to do what musicians call "breath" the note, i.e. every note sounds like fading in a small natural diminuendo. One can't do it with an envelope volume because if one draw a natural volume down on each note, you won't be able to instantly raise the volume for the next note (the "tail" of the previous note will also come out, one will really hear it echoing, its release end reappears). Sorry if I wrote it unclear...

     And maybe someone can give you a hint with the volume controllers. Master vol. and Expression are clear. I can't figure out what Vel.XF. and controllers with the word Dim. are and how to use them.

    Thank you very much!
