Owner’s Manual
Quick Guide — Advanced Course
The following briefly describes the main Voice parameters.
● Basic parameters for creating a sound
If you wish to edit the basic sound-generating and sound-
shaping parameters for the Voice, such as Oscillator, Pitch,
Filter, Amplitude, and EG (Envelope Generator), use the
Common Edit display.
● Effect related parameters....................Pages 177 and 194
The Effects use DSP (Digital Signal Processing) to alter and
enhance the sound of a Voice. Effects are applied in the final
stages of editing, letting you change the sound of the created
Voice as desired. The Common Edit display lets you edit the
Effect related parameters.
● Controller related parameters ........... Pages 155 and 192
For each Voice, you can assign various functions to built-in
controllers such as Pitch Bend Wheel, Modulation Wheel,
Ribbon Controller, Knobs (ASSIGN1 and 2), Keyboard
Aftertouch and optionally connected controllers such as
Footswitch, Foot Controller, Breath Controller. These settings
can be edited in the Common Edit display.
● Arpeggio related parameters............. Pages 169 and 191
For each Voice, you can set the Arpeggio related parameters
such as Arpeggio type and playback tempo. These can be
edited in the Common Edit display.
Enter a name for the Voice from the NAME display ([COMMON]
→ [F1] GENERAL → [SF1] NAME). For detailed instructions on
naming, refer to page 53 in the Basic Operation section.
The edited Voice can be stored in the Voice Store mode. See
page 85 for details.
Keep in mind that edited Voice data is stored to internal User
memory (Flash ROM) and is stored even when turning the
power off. As such it is not necessary to save the data to
SmartMedia card or another device; however, you may want
to save it to another media for backup or organizational
purposes. For more information, see page 85.
Compare Function
This convenient function lets you switch between the
edited Voice and its original, unedited condition –
allowing you to listen to the difference between the two
and better hear how your edits affect the sound.
1 In the Voice Edit mode (the [EDIT] indicator
lighting), press the [EDIT] button so that its
indicator flashes.
The [C] indicator is shown at the top of the display (in
place of the [E] indicator), and the original, unedited
voice is restored for monitoring.
2 Press the [EDIT] button again to disable the
“Compare” function and restore the settings for
your edited Voice.
Compare the edited sound with the unedited sound by
repeating steps #1 and 2.
n While Compare is active, you cannot make edits to the Voice.
