Voice Controls and Effects

The Electone is equipped with two general kinds of functions that can be used to change the sound of
the voices: Voice Controls and Effects.
Voice controls include the Touch sensitivity, Volume, Octave (feet), Vibrato and Pan setting. The voice
controls, as well as the selection of certain effects, are provided in the Voice Condition pages,
described below.
Effects include Reverb, Sustain, Tremolo, Symphonic, Delay and Flanger. Effect settings are controlled

from the Reverb, Sustain, Tremolo and Effect Set pages.
Each voice has been given certain factory-preset effect settings to best enhance its sound. However, if
you wish, you can change the sound to suit your preferences by using the controls described in this
section.
The chart below shows the various voice controls and effects for the individual voice sections or the
entire system. Available functions are indicated by circles.
