- multiple filter modes can be selected simultaneously. for example, selecting both "low" and "high" results in a bandstop (notch) filter.

- **Test/Gate**: when on, the test bit is set, which mutes the channel. - **gate bit**:
- set (1): key on. if previous state was 0 it triggers envelope start/restart; if previous state was 1, it does nothing.
- reset (0): key off. if previous state was 1 it triggers envelope release; if previous state was 0, it does nothing.
- **test bit**:
- set (1): immediately mute channel
- if the channel is a source of ring mod and/or hard sync, those stop working until the bit is reset.
- reset (0): unmute channel and restore ring mod/hard sync.
- **Attack**: sets envelope attack speed.
- if you modify attack speed when the envelope is in attack phase it immediately changes.
- **Decay**: sets envelope decay speed.
- if you modify decay speed when envelope is in decay phase it immediately changes.
- **Sustain**: sets envelope sustain level.
- if you modify sustain level when envelope is in sustain phase it immediately changes, although you can only go down. for example, 9-to-8 and 8-to-8 both work, but 8-to-9 immediately mutes the channel.
- **Release**: sets envelope release speed.
- if you modify release speed when envelope is in release phase it immediately changes.
