Voice Edit Mode - Yamaha MO6 Owner's Manual

Voice Edit mode

There are two kinds of Voices: Normal Voices and Drum Voices. The following section shows how to edit the different types of Voices and
explains the parameters available. Note that the parameters available for editing differ depending on the Voice types (Normal Voice, Drum
Voice).
Normal Voice Edit
When a Normal Voice is selected, the Voice Edit parameters are divided into Common Edit (parameters common to all four Elements), and
Element Edit (parameters of individual Elements).
Common Edit
These parameters are for making global (or common) edits to all four Elements of the selected Normal Voice.

[VOICE] Voice selection
[VOICE] Normal Voice selection
From this display you can assign the category (sub and main) of the selected Voice, and create a name for the
Voice. The Voice name can contain up to 10 characters. For specific instructions on naming, see Basic
Operation on page 38.
From this display you can make various settings for the tone generator of this synthesizer, and assign different
Micro Tuning settings.
Determines whether the Voice is played back monophonically (single notes only) or polyphonically (multiple
simultaneous notes).
Settings: mono, poly
When this is set to "single," double playback of the same note is prevented. This is useful when two or more
instances of the same note are received nearly simultaneously, or without a corresponding note off message.
To allow playback of each instance of the same note, set this to "multi."
Settings: single, multi
Determines the tuning system for the Voice. Normally, this should be set to 00 (Equal temperament); however
additional tuning systems are available for a variety of tuning applications and effects.
Settings: See the Micro Tuning List on page 169.
Determines the root note of the Micro Tuning set above.
Settings: C – B
From this display you can adjust the master (global) EQ settings for the entire Voice. The settings made here
are applied as offsets to the EQ settings (with the exception of "MID") in the Utility mode, with the following
operation: [VOICE] [UTILITY] [F3] VOICE
directly from the four Knobs on the front panel when the [EQ] button is turned on.
Settings: -64 – 0 – +63
From this display you can set the Portamento parameters for all parts of the selected performance. Portamento
is used to create a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the next.
Determines whether Portamento is applied to your keyboard performance using the current Voice or not.
Settings: off, on
Determines the pitch transition time. Higher values result in a longer pitch change time.
Settings: 0 – 127
Determines how the Portamento is applied to your keyboard performance.
Settings: fingered, fulltime
fingered ........... Portamento is only applied when you play legato (playing the next note before releasing the previous one).
fulltime ............. Portamento is always applied.
Determines how the Time parameter above affects the Portamento effect.
Settings: rate1, time1, rate2, time2
rate1 ................ Pitch changes at the specified rate.
time1................ Pitch changes in the specified time.
rate2 ................ Pitch changes at the specified rate within an octave.
time2................ Pitch changes at the specified rate within an octave.
Determines the speed of the attack of legato notes, when Switch above is set to on and Mono/Poly is set to
mono. (Legato notes "overlap" each other, the next being played before the previous is released.) The higher
the value, the slower the attack rate.
Settings: 0 – 7
