4. Instant Voice Programming Although the SY35 allows you to program voices in considerable detail, in this section we'll present a simple way to create an unlimited range of new and useful voices. Detailed parameters for programming individual elements are available in the ELEMENT TONE and ELEMENT ENVELOPE edit modes described in the Feature Reference manual, beginning on pages 15 and 25, respectively. Everything we need to have loads of fun - and to create some very serious voices - is available in the VOICE COMMON edit mode. 1 Select a Preset Voice To Start With Select any preset voice while in the VOICE PLAY mode to serve as a "platform" for your new voice.

4. Instant Voice Programming
Although the SY35 allows you to program voices in considerable detail, in this section we’ll present a simple way
to create an unlimited range of new and useful voices.
Detailed parameters for programming individual elements are available in the ELEMENT TONE and
ELEMENT ENVELOPE edit modes described in the Feature Reference manual, beginning on pages 15 and 25,
respectively. Everything we need to have loads of fun — and to create some very serious voices — is available in
the VOICE COMMON edit mode.

Select a Preset Voice To Start With
Select any preset voice while in the VOICE PLAY mode to serve as a
“platform” for your new voice. ST

Select the VOICE COMMON Edit Mode
Select the VOICE COMMON edit mode by pressing the [EDIT/UTILITY]
key and then the [VOICE COMMON] key.
3
Select the RANDOM Function
Press the [VOICE COMMON] key a few times until “RANDOM” appears
on the top display line. As long as the cursor is on the top display line next
to the function name, it is also possible to scroll backward and forward
through the function list by using the [–1/NO] and [+1/YES] keys.
If the “ELEMENT” parameter does not appear in the RANDOM display,
as pictured above, use the CURSOR [
4
] and/or [
6
] keys to move the cursor
to the left-hand parameter on the lower display line (this will either be
ELEMENT, LEVEL VEC, or DETUNE VEC) and, if necessary, select
“ELEMENT” using the [–1/NO] and [+1/YES] keys.
