Voice Editing

"Editing" refers to the process of creating a Voice by
changing the parameters that make up the Voice. This
can be done in Voice Edit, a sub mode within the Voice
mode. The actual parameters that are available differ
depending on the Voice type.
Normal Voice Edit
A Normal Voice (pitched musical instrument-type
sounds) can consist of up to eight Elements. There are
two types of Voice Edit displays: Common Edit, for editing
the settings common to all eight Elements; and Element
Edit, for editing individual Elements. In Element Edit, you
can edit the parameters only on the S90 XS/S70 XS
Editor.
NOTE
The output level of the Element can be edited on the panel of this
instrument. For further details, refer to "Adjusting the Element
level."
Drum Voice Edit
There are two types of Drum Voice Edit displays:
Common Edit, for editing the settings that apply to all
Drum keys in the Voice; and Element Edit, for editing
individual keys (Elements). In Key Edit, you can edit the
parameters only on the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor.
About Elements
An Element is the basic and the smallest unit for a Voice,
and is created by applying various parameters (Effect, EG,
etc.) to the waveform of the instrument sound. Each Voice
of this instrument consists of several Elements.
