I downloaded the ROM 1A SYX from somewhere and used FM Converter and got the same broken Marimba. That said, when I look at the original SYX file imp...

Are 'rates automatically scaled' for AEG envelopes as they were for the TX16W? If so, what exactly does that mean?

The reason why it doesn't matter is Manny is setting up a change in the frequency response and is using attack level + time to get at the desired resu...
