Editing a Voice
83
Owner’s Manual
The main parameters available are basically the same as in the
Normal Voice Edit (page 80). What is called Key Edit in the Drum
Voice corresponds to Element Edit in the Normal Voice. Please keep
in mind that the LFO parameters are not available in the Drum Voice.
Enter a name for the Voice from the NAME display
([COMMON] [F1] GENERAL [SF1] NAME). For detailed
instructions on naming a voice, 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.
Assigning drum/percussion instruments to individual keys
In the Drum Voice Edit mode, you can create your own original drum kits by assigning specific instrument sounds to
individual keys — in any desired order — and edit detailed parameters for each key’s sound.
