Voice Edit

The EL-700/500 Electone has a Voice Edit feature that allows you to create your own voices. The Voice
Edit uses sophisticated sound shaping tools that make it possible to craft just about any kind of sound—
from authentic recreations of acoustic instruments to wild electronic voices and special effects.
The following section will introduce you to the basics of voice editing by taking you step by step through a
specific editing example. As you follow the steps, you may find many of the terms and parameter names to
be unfamiliar. Once you go through the editing steps, however, we suggest that you read through the Voice
Editing Basics section (page 116) to get a firmer understanding of the principles behind voice editing.
