ELEMENT ENVELOPE
Selecting the ELEMENT ENVELOPE Edit Mode
From the VOICE or MULTI mode:
From another edit or utility mode simply press
[ELEMENT ENVELOPE].
An "E" will appear to the left of the LED dis-
play to indicate that an edit mode is selected,
and the element selected for editing will be dis-
played to the right of the display — "A", "b",
"C", or "d". A dot will appear to the right of the
element character as soon as any parameter has
been edited.
Different elements can be selected for editing by
pressing the appropriate [ELEMENT SELECT]
key — [A], [B], [C] or [D]. If a 2-element voice
is being edited, only elements A and B can be
selected.
Any of the available elements can also be turned
on or off by pressing the appropriate
[ELEMENT ON/OFF] key. Each key alter-
nately turns the associated element on and off,
and the on/off status of the elements is shown to
the right of the upper LCD line. If the element
26
character is showing, the associated element is
ON, if a dash appears in place of the element
character, that element is OFF. The ability to
turn elements on or off while editing makes it
easier to hear the effect of parameter changes on
a single element. The currently selected element
is also shown on the LCD as a reversed (white
on black) character.
In this example elements A, B and D are ON, while
element C is OFF. Element A is currently selected
for editing.

The COMPARE Function
You can compare the sound of the edited voice
with the sound of the voice before it was edited
by pressing the [EDIT/COMPARE] key to acti-
vate the COMPARE function. A "C" will appear
on the LED display while the COMPARE func-
tion is active, and the sound of the voice prior to
editing will be heard when you play the key-
board. Press the [EDIT/COMPARE] key again
to return to the edit mode.
