Voice Edit mode

There are three kinds of Voices: Normal Voices, Drum Voices and Plug-in Voices (if a Plug-in board has been installed). The following section
shows how to edit the different types of voices and explains the parameters available. Note that available parameters to be edited differ
depending on the Voice types (Normal Voice, Drum Voice, Plug-in Voice).
Normal Voice Edit
When a Normal Voice is selected, the Voice Edit parameters are divided into Common Edit (parameters common to all four Elements), and
Element Edit (parameters of individual Elements).
Common Edit
These parameters are for making global (or common) edits to all four Elements of the selected Normal Voice.

sync-off............ When set to "sync-off," the Arpeggio playback continues to run silently, even when you release the keys. Pressing any
key turns the Arpeggio playback on again. In other words, you can use the key to "un-mute" or "mute" (not start or stop)
the Arpeggio playback by, respectively, holding it down or releasing it.
