Voice mode Voice Edit mode Normal Voice Edit Common Edit Voice Edit mode [VOICE] ➞ Voice selection ➞ [EDIT] There are two kinds of Voices: Normal Voices and Drum Voices. The following section shows how to edit the different types of Voices and explains the parameters available. Note that the parameters available for editing differ depending on the Voice types (Normal Voice, Drum Voice). Normal Voice Edit When a Normal Voice is selected, the Voice Edit parameters are divided into Common Edit (parameters common to all four Elements), and Element Edit (parameters of individual Elements). Common Edit [VOICE] ➞ Normal Voice selection ➞ [EDIT] ➞ [COMMON] These parameters are for making global (or common) edits to all four Elements of the selected Normal Voice.

The Voice name can contain up to 10 characters. For specific instructions on naming, see Basic Operation on page 38. From this display you can make various settings for the tone generator of this synthesizer, and assign different Micro Tuning settings. Determines whether the Voice is played back monophonically (single notes only) or polyphonically (multiple simultaneous notes). Settings: mono, poly When this is set to "single," double playback of the same note is prevented. This is useful when two or more instances of the same note are received nearly simultaneously, or without a corresponding note off message. To allow playback of each instance of the same note, set this to "multi." Settings: single, multi Determines the tuning system for the Voice. Normally, this should be set to 00 (Equal temperament); however additional tuning systems are available for a variety of tuning applications and effects. Settings: See the Micro Tuning List on page 169. Determines the root note of the Micro Tuning set above. Settings: C - B From this display you can adjust the master (global) EQ settings for the entire Voice. The settings made here are applied as offsets to the EQ settings (with the exception of "MID") in the Utility mode, with the following operation: [VOICE] → [UTILITY] → [F3] VOICE → [SF1] MEQ. Moreover, you can also tweak these settings directly from the four Knobs on the front panel when the [EQ] button is turned on. Settings: -64 - 0 - +63 From this display you can set the Portamento parameters for all parts of the selected performance. Portamento is used to create a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the next. Determines whether Portamento is applied to your keyboard performance using the current Voice or not. Settings: off, on Determines the pitch transition time. Higher values result in a longer pitch change time. Settings: 0 - 127 Determines how the Portamento is applied to your keyboard performance. Settings: fingered, fulltime fingered Portamento is only applied when you play legato (playing the next note before releasing the previous one). fulltime Portamento is always applied. Determines how the Time parameter above affects the Portamento effect. Settings: rate1, time1, rate2, time2 rate1 Pitch changes at the specified rate. time1 Pitch changes in the specified time. rate2 Pitch changes at the specified rate within an octave. time2 Pitch changes at the specified rate within an octave. Determines the speed of the attack of legato notes, when Switch above is set to on and Mono/Poly is set to mono. (Legato notes "overlap" each other, the next being played before the previous is released.) The higher the value, the slower the attack rate.
