6) Some Voice Editing Examples The following examples illustrate some specific uses of the Voice Edit controls. Make the changes as described in the examples, then go on to explore some other voices on your own, making changes as you like. s Ex. 1: Emphasizing the attack of the "Banjo" voice This voice is composed mainly of the AWM sampled sound, with the other Operators providing the noise attack sound, simulating the picking of the string. Try changing the sound of the attack by increasing the Output Level (OL) of Operator 1. s Ex. 2: Adding "bite" to the "Jazz Organ1" voice (ORGAN Voice Menu) Operator 1 provides the 16' footage sound, Operator 2 the 8', and Operator 3 the 5-1/3'. You can make the sound warmer by decreasing the Output Level of Operator 2. Increasing the Output Level of Operator 3 makes for a rougher edge or more "bite" in the organ sound. s Ex. 3: Adding the 5th pitch to the Synth. Lead 5 to create suspended 4th. Operator 1 is set with the 4th pitch while Operator 5 with the 5th pitch and currently muted. Set the Output Level of Operator 5 from 0 to 90. s Ex. 4: Changing the "Trumpet5" voice to a funny trumpet Not all the Operators are used to create a voice. Replace the active Operators with the inactive Operator. You can get a funny trumpet by decreasing the OL of the 8 Operators 1 and 3 to 0 and increasing the OL of the AWM to the maximum. Voice Edit s Ex. 5: Creating an electronic piano sounds suitable to use as the backings for the ballad from "E.Piano1." Increasing the OL of the AWM from 0 to 124 to layer the AWM sounds to the FM sounds. 121

6) Some Voice Editing Examples
The following examples illustrate some specific uses of the Voice Edit
controls.
Make the changes as described in the examples, then go on to
explore some other voices on your own, making changes as you like.
■
Ex. 1:
Emphasizing the attack of the “Banjo” voice
This voice is composed mainly of the AWM sampled sound, with
the other Operators providing the noise attack sound, simulating
the picking of the string.
Try changing the sound of the attack by increasing the Output
Level (OL) of Operator 1.
■
Ex. 2:
Adding “bite” to the “Jazz Organ1” voice (ORGAN Voice Menu)
Operator 1 provides the 16' footage sound, Operator 2 the 8', and
Operator 3 the 5-1/3'.
You can make the sound warmer by decreasing the Output Level
of Operator 2.
Increasing the Output Level of Operator 3 makes
for a rougher edge or more “bite” in the organ sound.
■
Ex. 3:
Adding the 5th pitch to the Synth. Lead 5 to create suspended 4th.
Operator 1 is set with the 4th pitch while Operator 5 with the 5th
pitch and currently muted.
Set the Output Level of Operator 5
from 0 to 90.
■
Ex. 4:
Changing the “Trumpet5” voice to a funny trumpet
Not all the Operators are used to create a voice. Replace the active
Operators with the inactive Operator.
You can get a funny trumpet by decreasing the OL of the
Operators 1 and 3 to 0 and increasing the OL of the AWM to the
maximum.
■
Ex. 5:
Creating an electronic piano sounds suitable to use as the
backings for the ballad from “E.Piano1.”
Increasing the OL of the AWM from 0 to 124 to layer the AWM
sounds to the FM sounds.
