Drum Voices. The following is an explanation of the
parameters used to edit each Voice.

The E Indicator
If you alter any parameters in Voice Edit mode, the E

current Voice has been modified but not yet stored.

Voice Store
The edited settings for the current Voice will be lost
if you select another Voice or mode. To avoid losing
important data, you should always use Voice Store to
store your edited Voice. For details about the Voice
Store procedure, see page 89.
n When creating a new Voice from scratch, it can be
useful, prior to editing, to clear the settings for the
current Voice using the Initialize Voice function in
the Voice Job mode (pages 87 and 88).

consisting of 17 Common Edit settings (common to all
