parameters, letting you customize the collection of sounds in a kit.
To edit a voice:
1. Enter the Kit Edit menu (if you are not already viewing it).
2. Press the F1-Voice button to enter the Voice Edit menu.
3. Hit the pad whose voice you want to edit. The pad's name will appear at the top of the
display.
