Quick Guide — Advanced Course

Editing a Voice

The Voice Edit mode ([VOICE]
scratch by changing the basic sounds, or by tweaking the various Voice parameters. Create your custom sounds by calling up
a preset Voice and editing as desired. The actual parameters available and the methods for editing differ depending on the
Voice type.

Normal Voice Edit

A Normal Voice can consist of up to four Elements. There are two types of Voice Edit displays: those for Common Edit to edit the
settings common to all four Elements, and those for editing individual Elements.
Drum Voice Edit
Each Drum voice consists of various Waves and/or Normal voices, each assigned to notes across the keyboard, from C0 to C6.
There are two types of Drum Voice Edit displays: those for Common Edit to edit the settings that apply to all Drum keys in the
voice, and those for editing individual keys (Elements).
Plug-in Voice Edit
This is basically the same as Normal Voice Edit. Unlike with Normal voices, the Plug-in voices only have one Element for editing.
