[F1] Custom Voice Edit

The Custom Voice Edit mode allows you to edit any of the PSR-5700 voices to create new sounds
that ideally match your own music style. 100 custom voices — 00 through 99 — can be programmed,
each based on the correspondingly-numbered preset voice.
After selecting the voice you want to edit*, engage the Custom Voice Edit mode by pressing the
[FUNCTION] button so that "F1" appears on the TEMPO display. Use the various editing functions
described below to modify the sound to suit your needs. Then press the [EXIT] button when you're
finished editing to return to the normal play mode.
Your custom voices can be selected and played by pressing the [CUSTOM VOICE] button and
using the VOICE SELECT buttons in the normal way (the custom voice numbers are displayed in
reversed letters).
* You can also select a different voice while the Custom Voice Edit mode is engaged via the VOICE SELECT buttons. In this
case the normal voice selection display will appear while the VOICE SELECT buttons are being used, and for a few seconds
afterwards. The display will then revert to the previous Custom Voice Edit display page.
Please note that some voices may suddenly shift to a different octave or change in level when played on the highest or
lowest keys. There may also be slight tonal changes at one or more points on the keyboard.

Notes:
It's a good idea to give your voices names that make them
easily identifiable. If you've created a new voice that is a
variation on the standard piano voice, for example, you could
call it something like "PianVar".
