Voice Edit

This Electone has a Voice Edit feature that allows you to create your own Voices. We suggest that you read
through the Voice Structure below at first to get a firm understanding of what comprises a Voice. Then go
through the editing steps, referring to page 140 for editing of an AWM Voice, or page 143 for editing of a VA
Voice.
NOTE
Super Articulation Voices cannot be edited.

Voice Structure

The internal structure of the Voices of this Electone is
explained below. Refer also to "Tone Generators of the
ELS-02 Series" (page 39).

AWM Voice structure

AWM Voices consist of up to eight recorded samples of a
real instrument.
Each waveform, referred to as an "Element, " can be
edited, by changing the level (volume), filter settings, and
so on. A single Voice contains eight "boxes" (AWM1 –
AWM8) in which the Elements are put. If a Voice consists
of less than three Elements, some boxes are empty. For
example, Strings 1 consists of two Elements (as shown).
Element1
AWM1
AWM5
You can add Elements from other Voices – Brass, for
example – if a box (AWM3 – AWM8) is empty. This
allows you to create your own original ensemble sounds.
In the Voice Edit function, you can edit not only each
Element, but also assemble some Elements from other
Voices.

VA Voice structure

VA Voices are made by simulating the characteristic
behavior of acoustic instruments.
You can edit the Voice's volume and timbre. Moreover,
you can also add AWM Elements to a VA Voice to create
your own original Voice.
VA Voices are available only on the Lead Voice 2 section
of the ELS-02C. All Voices in the other Voice sections are
AWM Voices.
