Editing a Voice by using the Knobs
The four knobs at the top left of the instrument are not only for tweaking the sound while you perform — you can also use
them to edit a Voice, either in the Voice Play mode or the Voice Edit mode.
When the [PAN/SEND] indicator is turned on:
When the [TONE] indicator is turned on:
n The settings above are applied as offsets to the AEG and FEG settings in the Voice Edit mode.
When the [ARP FX] indicator is turned on:
When the [EQ] indicator is turned on:
n The settings above are applied as offsets to the EQ settings in the [VOICE] [UTILITY] [F3] VOICE [SF1] MEQ display.
When both the [PAN/SEND] and [TONE] indicators are turned on (by pressing them simultaneously):
n In addition to above functions, Master Effect related parameters (set in the [UTILITY] [F3] VOICE [SF2] MEF display) can be assigned to
these four knobs by pressing the [ARP FX] and [EQ] buttons simultaneously. The particular parameters assigned to the four knobs can be set in the
[UTILITY] [F4] CTL ASN [SF5] MEF display.
Editing a Voice by using the Control Sliders (CS)
In the Voice mode, the four Control Sliders let you independently adjust the levels of the Elements of a Normal Voice or the
Drum Voice keys. When a Normal Voice is selected, you can adjust the level balance among the four Elements.
n Inadvertent use of the sliders may result in no sound. If this occurs, move the sliders upward.

ATTACK Determines the attack time of the sound. For example, you can adjust a
strings Voice so that the sound gradually swells in volume by setting a
slow attack time – simply turn this knob to the right.

RELEASE Determines the release time of the sound. Turning the knob to the right
sets a long release time and (depending on the selected Voice) lets the
sound sustain after the key is released. To produce a sharp release, in
which the sound abruptly cuts off, set a short release time.
