few times so that the TONE 2 lamp lights, then
rotate the Knob (at the far right).
The CHORUS (as printed above the Knob) is applied to the
current Voice.

A red point on the Knob or Slider graphic indicates the
current value to which the Knob or Slider is set. Moving the
Knob or Slider has no effect on the sound until this point is
reached. Once you move the Knob or Slider past this point,
the red point disappears and moving the Knob or Control
Slider affects the sound.

For more information about the functions assigned to the

By using the Knobs in this way, you can change the sound of
the Preset Voice to create your own original Voice.
NOTE
Controlling the knobs does not affect some Voices.
The Edit [E] Indicator
When changing the value of the parameter in the Voice
Play or Edit display, the Edit Indicator will appear on the
top right corner of the LCD. This gives a quick confirmation
that the current Voice has been modified but not yet stored.
To store the current edited status, execute the Store
operation (page 27).

Voice Editing

"Editing" refers to the process of creating a Voice by
changing the parameters that make up the Voice. This can
be done in Voice Edit, a sub mode within the Voice mode.
The actual parameters that are available differ depending on
the Voice type.
Normal Voice Edit
A Normal Voice (pitched musical instrument-type sounds)
can consist of up to eight Elements. There are two types of
Voice Edit displays: Common Edit, for editing the settings
common to all eight Elements; and Element Edit, for editing
individual Elements.
About Elements
An Element is the basic and the smallest unit for a Voice,
and is created by applying various parameters (Effect, EG,
etc.) to the waveform of the instrument sound. Each Voice
of this instrument consists of several Elements.
Drum Voice Edit
There are two types of Drum Voice Edit displays: Common
Edit, for editing the settings that apply to all Drum keys in the
Voice; and Element Edit, for editing individual keys
(Elements).
For details about Voice Edit, refer to the Voice mode chapter
in the Reference Manual.
