TIP Editing a Voice by using the Knobs
The four knobs at the top left of the instrument are not only for tweaking the sound while you perform — you can also use
them to edit a Voice, either in the Voice Play mode or the Voice Edit mode.
When the [PAN/SEND] indicator is turned on:
PAN Determines the stereo pan position of the Voice.
REVERB Determines the amount of Reverb effect that is applied to the Voice.
CHORUS Determines the amount of Chorus effect that is applied to the Voice.
TEMPO Determines the tempo of the Arpeggio assigned to the currently selected Voice.
When the [TONE] indicator is turned on:
CUTOFF Raises or lowers the Filter cutoff frequency to adjust the tone brilliance.
RESONANCE Boosts or attenuates the level at the area around the Filter cutoff
frequency.
ATTACK Determines the attack time of the sound. For example, you can adjust a
strings Voice so that the sound gradually swells in volume by setting a
slow attack time – simply turn this knob to the right.
RELEASE Determines the release time of the sound. Turning the knob to the right
sets a long release time and (depending on the selected Voice) lets the
sound sustain after the key is released. To produce a sharp release, in
which the sound abruptly cuts off, set a short release time.
n
The settings above are applied as offsets to the AEG and FEG settings in the Voice Edit mode.
When the [ARP FX] indicator is turned on:
SWING Adjusts the swing feel of the Arpeggio playback.
GATE TIME Adjusts the Gate Time (length) of the Arpeggio notes.
VELOCITY Adjusts the velocity of the Arpeggio notes.
UNITMULTIPLY Adjusts the Arpeggio playback time based on tempo.
When the [EQ] indicator is turned on:
Determines the amount of boost or attenuation applied to the low
LO
frequency band of the Master EQ.
LO MID Determines the amount of boost or attenuation applied to the low-
midrange frequency band of the Master EQ.
HI MID Determines the amount of boost or attenuation applied to the high-
midrange frequency band of the Master EQ.
HI Determines the amount of boost or attenuation applied to the high
frequency band of the Master EQ.

ASSIGN 1 Adjusts parameters assigned to these knobs in the [VOICE]

TIP Editing a Voice by using the Control Sliders (CS)
[VOICE] Voice selection
In the Voice mode, the four Control Sliders let you independently adjust the levels of the Elements of a Normal Voice or the
