Voice Edit

The EL-900 Electone has a Voice Edit feature that allows you to create your own voices (except for the VA
voices). The Voice Edit uses sophisticated sound shaping tools that make it possible to craft just about any kind
of soundﾑ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 119) to get a firmer understanding of the principles behind voice editing.
NOTE:
Only the AWM Voice Menu voices can be
edited with the Voice Edit controls. The
VA voices from the Lead Voice 2 section
cannot be edited. Also, the Flute voices
have their own editing controls and cannot
be edited here.
