(3) To edit the AWM Operator: Next, we'll make some changes in the sound of the AWM Operator. The AWM Operator is a specially recorded waveform with an actual instrumental sound, unlike the pure electronic sounds of the other Operators. Before you actually change it, try listening to this sound on its own, with the other four Operators turned off. 1 Turn off all of the Operators, except for the AWM Operator. The AWM Operator has its own page with a different group of settings. The AWM Operator display appears as soon as the AWM Operator has been selected. 2 Adjust the C-OFF (Cut-off) setting, and listen to how they affect the sound. Changing this parameter determines the frequency cut-off point. Lowering this parameter decreases the overtones to make the sound darker, and raising this increase the overtones to make the sound brighter. NOTE: The resonance setting may depend on the frequency cut-off point you set. Stressing the resonance after lowering the cut-off point can produce a remarkable effect. Stressing the resonance may cause a noise. 3 Adjust the RES. (Resonance) setting, and listen to how they affect the sound. The higher setting results in a more pronounced sound. NOTE: The Operator on/off settings you made here are temporary. Even though you turn off an Operator when editing a voice, the on/off status of the Operators will forcibly be changed and saved as "on" in a User voice. If you want an Operator muted, set the OL parameter of the selected Operator to the minimum. NOTE: After making changes in the voice, you can restore the original voice by switching to another function. If, however, you wish to keep the newly created voice for future use, you should save it. (See following section.) 92 4 Finally, turn all of the other Operators back on and adjust each Operator's level. You have got the full-bodied ringing electronic piano sounds.

(3) To edit the AWM Operator:
Next, we'll make some changes in the sound of the AWM Operator.
The AWM Operator is a specially recorded waveform with an actual
instrumental sound, unlike the pure electronic sounds of the other
Operators.
Before you actually change it, try listening to this sound on
its own, with the other four Operators turned off.
1
Turn off all of the Operators, except for the AWM Operator.
The AWM Operator has its own page with a different group of
settings.
The AWM Operator display appears as soon as the
AWM Operator has been selected.
2
Adjust the C-OFF (Cut-off) setting, and listen to how they affect
the sound.
Changing this parameter determines the frequency cut-off point.
Lowering this parameter decreases the overtones to make the
sound darker, and raising this increase the overtones to make
the sound brighter.
3
Adjust the RES. (Resonance) setting, and listen to how they
affect the sound.
The higher setting results in a more pronounced sound.
NOTE:
The resonance setting may depend on the
frequency cut-off point you set. Stressing
the resonance after lowering the cut-off
point can produce a remarkable effect.
Stressing the resonance may cause a
noise.
4
Finally, turn all of the other Operators back on and adjust each
Operator's level.
You have got the full-bodied ringing electronic piano sounds.
NOTE:
The Operator on/off settings you made
here are temporary. Even though you turn
off an Operator when editing a voice, the
on/off status of the Operators will forcibly
be changed and saved as "on" in a User
voice.
If you want an Operator muted, set the
OL parameter of the selected Operator to
the minimum.
NOTE:
After making changes in the voice, you
can restore the original voice by switching
to another function.
If, however, you wish
to keep the newly created voice for future
use, you should save it.
