ChorusThis is an easy one. Chorus works by doubling the instruments and
detuning them slightly. The larger the chorus value, the more detuning
occurs. The Width parameter controls the stereo spread. A Width value of
0% reduces the chorus to mono, a value of 100% provides the most stereo
separation. Chorus is useful when you want to Ofatten up� a part quickly
and easily.

3.Select a Width value based on the amount of detuning you want.
Smaller numbers mean less detuning, larger ones more.
You can select various amounts of chorusing for each of the instruments,
just play around with the Chorus and Width parameter until you like what
you hear.
Volume EnvelopeEvery sound you hear, whether itOs a piano note, a drum, or a bell, has a
characteristic volume curve or envelope. This Volume Envelope shapes the
volume of the sound which grows louder or softer in various ways during
the course of the sound. The volume envelope of a sound is one of the clues
our brain uses to determine what type of sound is being produced.
An envelope shapes the sound or volume of the sound over time. The
envelope generators in B-3 all have six stages to the contour: Attack 1,
Attack 2, Decay 1, Decay 2, Release 1 and Release 2. When you press a key
on the keyboard, the envelope goes through each of the Ţrst four stages,
advancing to the next stage when the deŢned Level for each is reached. As
long as you continue to hold the key down, the envelope continues
through the Ţrst four stages holding at the end of the Decay 2 level until
the key is released. When you release the key, the envelope jumps to the
Release stages (no matter where the envelope is when you release the key)
ending at the Release 2 level.
