Voice Edit

This Electone has a Voice Edit feature that allows you to create your own Voices.
We suggest that you read through the Voice Structure below at first to get a firmer
understanding of the Voices. Then go through the editing steps, reading Editing a Voice on
page 130 for editing of an AWM Voice, or page 135 for editing of a VA Voice.

Voice Structure
The internal structure of the Voices of this Electone is explained below. Refer also to
"AWM Voices and VA Voices" (page 34).
AWM Voice structure
AWM Voices consist of up to four recorded samples of a real instrument.
Each waveform, referred to as an "Element," can be edited, by changing the level
(volume), filter settings, and so on. A single Voice contains four boxes (AWM1 –
AWM4) in which the Elements are put. If a Voice consists of less than three Elements,
some boxes are empty. For example, Strings 1 consists of two Elements (as shown).
You can add Elements from other Voices – Brass, for example – if a box (AWM3 and/or
AWM4) is empty. This allows you to create your own original ensemble sounds. In the
Voice Edit function, you can edit not only each Element, but also assemble some
Elements from other Voices.
