Assign Voice - E-Mu EII+ Owner's Manual

PRESET DEFINITION MODULE

22 - ASSIGN VOICE

This function assigns a selected Voice to a specific keyboard range within the Current
Preset.
1. With no module active, select the Preset number to which you want to assign the Voice.
Caution: Always check that you have selected the proper Current Preset before
assigning Voices.
2. Activate the Preset Definition module and key in 22. The display says:
Assign Voice
(01 – 99)/Slider A
...and the ENTER light will be flashing. Either use the keypad to specify the Voice
number to be assigned, or move Slider A to catalog (see GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 7)
the available Bank Voices. When the display shows the Voice to be assigned, press
ENTER. (If you enter a number for which there is no Voice, the lower display line will say
that the Voice is "Nonexistent".)
3. The display now says:
Orig Lo Hi Cnls
1 - 8
...and the ENTER light will be flashing. You may now assign the Voice to the desired
keyboard range by playing notes on the keyboard. Generally, the Orig note will be the
key representing the ORIGinal pitch at which Voice was recorded; if the original Voice
was recorded at pitch E2 (see GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 8, "Keyboard Numbering
Protocol"), play keyboard key E2. However, note that you are not limited to assigning the
Voice to the key representing the original pitch at which it was recorded -- you may
assign it anywhere on the keyboard if desired.
4. The display will show, under Orig, the note you just played. If this is the desired note,
press ENTER.
5. Now play the LOwest desired transposition of the Voice. The Emulator II will not
recognize transpositions lower than one octave below the Orig pitch, and will say "Illegal
Asgnment" for LO transpositions that are higher than the HI pitch.
The display will show, under Lo, the note you just played. If this is the desired note,
press ENTER. 6.
6. Now assign the Output Channel, or group of Channels, over which the Voice will appear.
There are eight available Channels. If you assign the Voice to a single Channel, then the
Voice will play monophonically and its single note output will appear at the specified
Channel. If you specify more than one Channel, the Voice can produce as many notes
as there are Channels specified; the output will appear over these multiple Channels.
