Programming The "Velochorus" Voice - Yamaha SY55 Product Manual

Programming the
"VeloChorus" Voice
Now that you've got the basic idea, try programming the VeloChorus
voice described below. VeloChorus is a 2-element voice in which the "Cho-
rus" waveform is assigned to element 1 and the "Styroll" waveform is as-
signed to element 2. Both waveforms are enveloped and filtered, and the
Styroll waveform is "velocity switched" so it only appears — layered onto the
chorus sound — when you play the keys on your keyboard quite hard.
Here's the Voice Parameter Chart for the VeloChorus voice.
The changes are made in "real time" as you program. So don't be afraid to
play the voice via your keyboard/controller as you program, to hear the sound
as it gradually takes shape.
1. If it is not already selected, press [VOICE] to select the VOICE PLAY
mode.
2. Use the [INTERNAL], [-1/NO] and [+1/YES] keys to select VOICE I01.
3. Press [EDIT/COMPARE] to enter the VOICE EDIT mode.
4. Press the [JOB] key, the numeric [4] and [2] keys, and then the [ENTER]
key to select voice edit job 42: Voice Initialize.
5. The voice initialize function allows us to to create an "initialized" voice in
which all parameters are set to their "standard" values. This is useful
because the controller parameters — i.e. pitch wheel and modulation
wheel — are also set to function normally, so we won't have to go to the
trouble to program these particular parameters for this example ("REFER-
ENCE" section, page 90).
Press the [ENTER] key.
"Sure?" appears on the top line of the display, asking you to confirm
you intention to initialize the voice. Press [+1/YES] to confirm and actu-
ally execute the initialize operation. "Completed!" will appear briefly
when the initialization is finished.
