XP-80: sustain the sound longer?

[hatricklov]

I'm playing a performance sound composed of 3 different pedal steel patches from the Country Collection card. I have a song where I'm trying to replicate a sound by:

1. Starting with the volume down to nothing.
2. Playing the note and applying the sustain/hold pedal.
3. Applying modulation with the pitch bend for a distortion-type effect and simultaneously bringing up the volume.

By the time I get the volume up, the patch is starting to fade! I need to hold this note for a few measures at a substantial volume. Any ideas to help me 'stretch' the hold/sustain?

You need to adjust the sustain part or the TVA envelope and/or the TVF envelope on the tones that are sustaining sound.
Roland calls this Level 3.
Lifting this may mean you need to match the Time 4 to Time 3

All the best

Thanks for the pointers, I'll look at tweaking those items and see what results I get. Thanks again! :D

I have quite same problem regarding sustaining the sound. but in my case (its for xp50) the sound sustain longer after 30minutes or less even we just press momentarily. also some of the keys are out of tune. anyone who has an idea please help me.
Thanks in advance...
