The Pattern Mode
8. Changing the Sound of Voices (Voice Edit)
RS7000 97
This sub mode allows voices to be edited for each pattern track. You can modify brightness, attack,
and other parameters to make the sound your own. There are 5 main display pages: LFO, Portamento,
Pitch, EG (Envelope Generator), and Filter. The LFO and EG pages each have 3 sub pages accessible
via the [F1] and [F4] buttons.
Press the [VOICE EDIT] button from the PATTERN Play or Patch mode to go to the VOICE EDIT LFO
page.
Voice Edit Features
Versatile relative editing of voice parameters.
EG, LFO, filter and other synthesizer-like parame-
ters facilitate aggressive voice editing.
Edited voice settings are memorized with each
style.
No extra save procedure is necessary. Your edited voice set-
tings are saved with the style data and are automatically
recalled whenever a style is selected.
If MEMORY PROTECT is ON, however (Page 257), the
voice edit settings will not be saved and will be erased when
a different style is selected.
Absolute and relative parameters.
Absolute parameters are parameters that directly control the
corresponding function (pitch bend range, pitch bend, porta-
mento ON/OFF, portamento time, pitch modulation depth,
filter modulation depth, amplitude modulation depth).
Relative parameters, on the other hand, function more like
offset values which shift some other value by a specified
amount. All voice edit parameters other than those listed
above are relative.
In the sections that follow the absolute or relative status of
each parameter is listed beside the parameter name.
Voice edit parameters are not saved when a pattern
is saved to memory card or disk as an SMF (Stan-
dard MIDI File) file.
