Voice Edit - Yamaha Electone EL-57 Owner's Manual

Voice Edit

The EL-57 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 86) to get a firmer understanding of the
principles behind voice editing.
