Voice Edit - Yamaha S30 Owner's Manual

Voice Edit

There are 256 Normal Voice presets and 8 Drum
Voice presets. You can edit these to create new
Voices, or build completely new Voices from
scratch. You can then store up to 128 of these
new/edited Normal Voices and up to 2
new/edited Drum Voices to internal user
memory or external Memory Card.
The following procedure gives a basic idea about
how to go about creating/editing Voices.
Of course, this is just one example; you are free
to set any parameters in any way you like.
Details about each parameter are given in the
Reference section of this manual.
All parameter settings are stored along with the
Voice itself.

Waves used by the Elements in the Voice, plus
the volume, pan, note range and other basic
