Voice Edit
This DDK-7 has a Voice Edit feature that allows you to create your own Voices.
We suggest that you read through the Voice Structure below at first to get a firmer
understanding of the Voices. Then go through the editing steps, reading Editing a Voice on
page 140 for editing of an AWM Voice.
The internal structure of the Voices of this DDK-7 is explained below.
AWM Voice structure
AWM Voices consist of up to four recorded samples of a real instrument.
Each waveform, referred to as an “Element,” can be edited, by changing the level
(volume), filter settings, and so on. A single Voice contains four boxes (AWM1 –
AWM4) in which the Elements are put. If a Voice consists of less than three Elements,
some boxes are empty. For example, Strings 1 consists of two Elements (as shown).
You can add Elements from other Voices – Brass, for example – if a box (AWM3 and/or
AWM4) is empty. This allows you to create your own original ensemble sounds. In the
Voice Edit function, you can edit not only each Element, but also assemble some
Elements from other Voices.
