Press [+1/YES] To Create a New Voice
Now, each time you press the [+1/YES] key the SY35 will randomly
assign different waveforms to the four elements in what used to be the
CH*Pure voice.
Try it a few times: press [+1/YES] then play on the keyboard to hear a
totally new voice. Since the element combinations are generated randomly,
some are not particularly useful ... but others will surprise you. Every few
tries you'll probably come up with a combination which, if not ready to use
without further modification, can be turned into a very fine voice with a little
"brushing up" in the various SY35 editing modes.
Please note that the RANDOM ELEMENT function only re-
places the element waveforms in the voice you started with, so,
unless you go into further programming, the voice you choose as
your platform will determine how controllers like the pitch and
modulation wheels function (Feature Reference manual, page 6),
the shape of the amplitude envelopes used for each element
(Feature Reference manual, page 27), the type of effect (reverb,
delay, etc.) applied to the voice (Feature Reference manual,
page 5), and more.
While trying out the new voices you create, you can turn the
VECTOR PLAY mode ON and experiment manually with dif-
ferent vectors. You can also enter the VOICE VECTOR mode by
pressing the [VOICE VECTOR] key and record a dynamic vector
as described in the previous section.
Store Your New Voice
If you come up with something you want to keep, use the same voice store
procedure as described on page 28 when returning to the VOICE PLAY
mode.
