Voice Element

About Elements
Elements are the basic building blocks of the Voices. An
Element is a basic waveform of a certain sound (such as an
acoustic piano or violin), and there are a total of 205
different waveforms available. Up to four different Ele-
ments can be used to create a single Voice. In the Voice
Element pages, these can be assigned to different sections
of the keyboard, played at different velocities, with differ-
ent envelopes, and be given completely independent filter,
pitch EG, tuning and LFO settings. This flexibility allows
you to create extremely complex Voices that can shift in

how you play.
There is a limit to the total amount of Elements that can be
used for all User Voices — specifically, if all of the User
Voices use the maximum four Elements, only 70 Voices
will be available for playing. Practically however, this
should not be a problem, since the individual Elements are
rich and complex sounds in themselves. For most Voices,
one Element is all you will need.
