Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

daniel that is the correct way

but you have done an asr envelope you need 4 steps

yes by setting end at the last step the envelope will finish

and you can see this on the screen as the envelope can be seen visually

theres also an advanced guide to the fz1 to which has all these helpfull tips in it dont know if its available for download

  I'm not sure about my English as non native speaker, but let's try. 
  Hopefully you will understand. It's quite easy after two strong 
  espresso coffees:

  ADSR envelope has four segments:
  Attack Time
  Decay Time
  Sustain Level
  Release Time

  To simulate this on CZ, you have to use 3 steps:
  Step 1:
  R1 = will simulate Attack time, set for example 50 or as necessary. 
  Decrease this value for slower Attack time, increase for faster Attack 
  time. With 99 there's no Attack segment.
  L1 = set to 99 to get full range envelope

  Step 2 - set SUS for this step:
  R2 = will simulate Decay time, set for example 50 or as necessary. 
  Decrease this value for slower Decay time, increase for faster Decay 
  time. When 99, there's no Decay segment.
  L2 = simulates Sustain. To get Decay segment it must be set lower then 
  L1, for example 50. When L1 = L2, there's no Decay, in such case R2 
  can be set to any value because it's not effective.

  Step 3 - set END for this step:
  R3 = will simulate Release time, set for example 50 or as necessary. 
  Decrease this value for longer Release time, increase for shorter 
  Release time.
  L3 = when selecting END for this step it will be set automatically to 0

  Was this right direction?

  If you are interested in CZ programming I would recommend you two 
  books which can be found somewhere on the net:
  - An Insider's Guide to Casio CZ Synthesizers
  - The Easy CZ Book

  And of course standard Casio CZ Sound Synthesis Handbook, and Summary.
