Owner’s Manual
If you wish to edit the sounds that make up a Voice and the basic parameters that determine the sound—such as Oscillator,
Pitch, Filter, Amplitude, and EG (Envelope Generator)—call up the Element Edit display.
If you wish to edit more global parameters related to the overall Voice and how it’s processed—such as Arpeggio, Controller,
and Effects—call up the Common Edit display.
The following briefly describes the main Voice parameters.
Basic parameters for creating a sound
Pages 112, 133
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 118, 133
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 41, 59, 131
For each Voice, you can assign various functions to built-in
controllers such as Pitch Bend Wheel, Modulation Wheel,
Control sliders (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 124, 129
For each Voice, you can set the Arpeggio related
parameters such as Arpeggio type and playback tempo.
These settings 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 a voice, refer to Page
27.
The edited Voice can be stored in the Voice Store mode.
For details, see page 50.
