Can anyone tell me how to add volume and cutoff envelope to user tones? Not just solo synth tones. THe GM sweep tone is partial, but I cannot seem to modify? Thanks for help! Powertrader

Would greatly appreciate some help programming envelopes in the PX-5S. I'm familiar with ADSR envelope concepts, and have been programming them for years. Sometimes I'm playing a Stage Setting on my PX-5, and want to make some adjustments, so I dive into Edit, and unfortunately am not able to get the results I'm looking for. The Tutorial (manual) does not offer much practical help. Surprisingly, the Forum does not seem to have much on this topic, nor do Mike's (otherwise great) videos. I've tried the reverse engineering approach (turning things off), but the behavior is not what what I would expect. Not complaining, just looking for help. Part of the problem is that a given Stage Setting with 2 hex, and 2 Tone Zones has (by my count) 418 envelope parameters! That's a bunch. So, are there some strategies for programming envelopes? And I'm confused by having parameters that go from negative to positive values; if that's relative to an initial setting, how do you find and set it? Some basic tips would be greatly appreciated, Learning by trial and error is great, but has limits. Many thanks, PeredD

Several times now, I have had something reset my Amp/Filter envelopes when I changed something else seemingly unrelated. Until now, I shrugged it off to, "I swear I did ______. Well, maybe I just thought I did." But this time I caught it red-handed! I found that in one of my stage settings, I had reversed my CC07: Volume and CC11: Expression controls. When I went to correct that, all I did was change the CC07 to CC11 (and vice versa) in the onboard Stage Setting > Common > Slider menus. After that, it reset the Amp and Filter envelopes: velocity sense was reset to +63 (I had changed it to 00), and release time was now 00 (I had changed it to -63). I suppose this could be intentional or "as designed", but I kind of think not.
