Editing a Voice

Editing a Voice
Each Voice can consist of up to four Elements. An Element is made up of a basic waveform—the basic sound of
a musical instrument—plus the various synthesizer processing parameters used to enhance, alter or define the
sound, such as pitch, filter, and amplitude controls.
For example, a piano Voice can be actually made up of several different piano waveforms: one for high notes,
one for low notes, and waveforms for when the keyboard is played softly. Combining different elements in a set
for playing at same time, or programming them to switch depending on how strongly the keyboard is played
helps to create a much more powerful and realistic piano sound.

A Drum Voice is made up of different "Keys"—or separate percussion/drum sounds that are assigned to individual notes on the keyboard.
