12<p>
13This section describes the types of instrument parameters available and associated concepts.<br>
14</p>
15<h2>Instrument Parameters and Region Parameters</h2>
16<p>The SoundMaker's Bank tab is divided internally into parameters for instruments (shared by all regions) and region-specific parameters.<br>
17		</p>
18<p>
19The former are called instrument parameters, while the latter are called region parameters.<br>
20</p>

22<h2>Using Various Parameters</h2>
23<p>This section looks at the various parameters that are set in the Bank tab and describes in each case whether they are handled as instrument parameters or region parameters.<br>
24		</p>
25<h3>Envelope<a name="ENVELOPE"></a></h3>
26<p>
27Can be configured as either an instrument parameter or a region parameter.<br>
28</p>
29<p>
30It is possible to select whether the envelope value is to be treated as an instrument parameter (configured at the instrument level) or as a region parameter (configured at the region level) for each instrument. <br> Although the envelope is normally handled as an instrument parameter, it is possible to configure an envelope value separately at the region level by configuring a region parameter envelope for a multi-region instrument.<br> For information on configuring an application target, see <a href="instlist.html#ENV_SEL">Selecting an Envelope Application Target</a>.</p>
31<p>The current envelope application target can be found by displaying the envelope on the <A>Instrument List</A>.<br> Instrument List displays for which a numeric value is displayed have envelopes applied at the instrument level, and those that have an asterisk displayed have envelopes applied at the region level.
32</p>
33<p>
34It is not possible to simultaneously configure an instrument parameter and region parameter envelope for a single instrument.<br>

37<h3>Pan</h3>
38<p>
39Handled as a region parameter and always specified in units of regions.<br>
40</p>
41
42<h3>Volume</h3>
43<p>
44Can be configured independently as both an instrument parameter and a region parameter.<br>
45</p>
46
47<h3>Pitch</h3>
48<p>
49Can be configured independently as both an instrument parameter and a region parameter.<br>
