Store the edited voice
in
the
internal
memory.
See the
STORE/SAVE/LOAD
section
on page

and
carry
out the save
procedures
using
it
as a reference.
2.
Creating an
Original
Voice.
To
create
an
entirely
new
voice,
you
can use
one
of the
pre-
programmed
voices as
the
"raw
material" for modification.
However, the feed-back
and
LFO
parameters can
com-
plicate
the
procedure and
make
things quite
difficult.
Therefore,
it Is
advisable to use
the "basic" voice para-
meters
when
beginning voice
creation
from
scratch.
We'll
create
a
CLARINET
sound
to
exemplify
this
proce-
dure.
