How to have a slower pad decay sound on YEM after the keys are released?

Guys,
As I said in other topics: I'm a blind user and, despite the software mostly not being fully accessible with screen readers and sometimes not very comfortable to use, I'm in this challenge of creating my own packs. Therefore,
I come to ask and answer questions from those who are more experienced in this so that I can progress, albeit in a slower way.
I think I must be the first blind man who decided to take the courage to venture out with this. :)
One of the goals that led me to buy the Tyros5 was precisely the various possibilities it offers to personalize the instrument, making it part of a personal and musical identity.
Using something more than just the factory voices and styles is fantastic. Listeners notice when the instrument is in some way part of their musical personality.
Unfortunately, for us blind people, this work is much harder. Little by little, I discover ways and alternatives.
I promise to show you the results when they become even more satisfying.

Through research here on the forum, I discovered the excellent SampleRobot software, which I use to quickly sample my favorite sounds. So, with the help of the program I create the sf2 and import it into YEM to make the final adjustments such as  dekay,
release, inserting DSP effects, etc.
I have adopted this workflow as long as I can't find an accessible way to separately import waves into YEM, assign a key to each of them, and edit the parameters in each. So I apply the edit to the entire set.
The thing is, especially for pads, I still don't know how to get a good decay of the sound when the keys are released.
I enable the common tab in the voice editor and try to tweak the decay and release parameters in sounds tab.... In the decay parameter nothing happens, only when I tweak the release I can improve it a little, but it's still not enough compared to others
packs I have that the pad sound decays slower and very pleasant.
Note: From what I was able to investigate, it is not possible to add release samples to SF2 files in SampleRobot. I have this doubt if the SF2 format accepts release samples, because SF2 should be more primitive than SFZ. For now, samples when
imported are abruptly stopped when the keys are released.
Are there more YEM parameters that I might not be noticing besides those found in "common"?
Thanks in advance for any help or tip.

I think that increasing the release time on both filter and volume envelopes on the common page should do what you want.

Hi Gabriel,
Turning on the Panel Sustain button causes pads to take longer to decay. If the amount is not quite what you want you can tweak it for that voice in the Common section of Voice editor (page 2 if Genos and presumably SX's).
If you are layering the pad with other panel voices the latter will also be affected by the PS button status so you may need to turn their Panel Sustain values to lower levels or zero in the Editor to compensate.

Thanks John!
I'll try.
I use Tyros5.
regards.

The format of Voice Editor/Voice Set may be very slightly different on Ty5 but you will still be able to make the  suggested sustain changes. :)
