Step 3: Assigning 4 Voices:
Select and assign any 4 Voices which you like out of the
100 pre-set Voices in the Voice List located on the Control
Panel.
When you move the Joy Stick all the way Upward,
Downward, Right, or Left, STYLE/VOICE display shows
one of 4 Voice numbers currently assigned.
Now you assign other 4 Voice numbers which you
want:
Step 1: First move the Joy Stick in any direction
(Upward, Downward, Right, or Left).
es 2: Select a Voice using Numeric buttons as in
usual Voice selection.
Also, you can assign a value for a Voice Effect such as
Sustain or Reverb. But you cannot use the Harmony and
Volume Effects.
By repeating Steps above to other 3 directions, assign all 4
Voices.
* Even when you turn OFF the Vector Synth function, the 4 Voices
assigned, and each Voice Effect's value, will be memorized.
* While the Vector Synth function is in use, the number of notes possible
to play simultaneously will be reduced substantially. So when you use
Vector Synth function together with Auto Accompaniment or Song
Memory, there is a shortage of notes that can be sounded at the same
time. So when this occurs, we suggest to play using the most
economical choice of notes possible. (Like single finger playing instead
of chords and Harmony, less tensians, etc.)
In this case, the following indication will be shown until the total amount
of notes is reduced under 28:

* Also when the Vector Synth function is activated and you use the Pitch
Bend Effect, it will apply to all 4 Voices at the same time and the same
distance.

How to make sounds using the Vector Synth function as
explained in the previous section, you select any 4 Voices
from the 100 pre-set Voices to mix easily. You find there
are full of possibilities! It's all up to your artistic discretion.
Here are some hints for using the Vector Synth
function:
>> Sometimes it's easy for you to become
bewildered in attempting to make the kind of sound you
wish to hear, ( which Voices to choose, and how to mix
them?) but please remember, you can simplify the 100
Voice selections, by dividing them into 2 categories. In the
first category: Voices which when the key is pressed and
held, the sound will gradually diminish, like a piano or
guitar; in the second category: Voices which are sustained
for the duration the key is being pressed such as an organ
or brass. So in creating your sounds, this is important to
consider which category you want.
>> As you know the main merit of the Vector
Synth function is to mix easily any 4 Voices, so it's a
great way to experiment quickly and simply, and gives you
a chance to bump into many exciting Voice combinations.
>> The Brass Family and String Family
generally have sounds that begin with a smooth and
slow attack, while the Piano Family has sounds which
begin with a sharper and more percussive attack.
Therefore, by adding a touch of Piano Family sound to a
combination of Strings and/or Brass, you might come up
with a beautiful sound worthy of a solo.
>> Think about how to play with four Voices
while you freely move the Joy Stick to change the Volume
balance among them. For example, you can start out
playing using a Piano Family Voice, and then later
smoothly mix in a String Family Voice etc. Depending on
how to assign different combinations of Voices, and how to
operate the Joy Stick, you will be able to represent high
quality playing.
