8 Voice Edit This Electone has a Voice Edit feature that allows you to create your own Voices. We suggest that you read through the Voice Structure below at first to get a firm understanding of what comprises a Voice. Then go through the editing steps, referring to page 134 for editing of an AWM Voice, or page 137 for editing of a VA Voice. NOTE Super Articulation Voices cannot be edited. Voice Structure The internal structure of the Voices of this Electone is explained below. Refer also to "Tone Generators of the ELS-02 Series" (page 39). AWM Voice structure AWM Voices consist of up to eight recorded samples of a real instrument. Each waveform, referred to as an "Element," can be edited, by changing the level (volume), filter settings, and so on. A single Voice contains eight "boxes" (AWM1 - AWM8) in which the Elements are put. If a Voice consists of less than three Elements, some boxes are empty. For example, Strings 1 consists of two Elements (as shown). VA Voice structure VA Voices are made by simulating the characteristic behavior of acoustic instruments. You can edit the Voice's volume and timbre. Moreover, you can also add AWM Elements to a VA Voice to create your own original Voice. VA Voices are available only on the Lead Voice 2 section of the ELS-02C. All Voices in the other Voice sections are AWM Voices. Strings 1 Element1 Element2 AWM1 AWM2 AWM3 AWM4 AWM5 AWM6 AWM7 AWM8 You can add Elements from other Voices - Brass, for example - if a box (AWM3 - AWM8) is empty. This allows you to create your own original ensemble sounds. In the Voice Edit function, you can edit not only each Element, but also assemble some Elements from other Voices. 132 ELS-02/ELS-02C Owner's Manual
