Playing the Keyboard in the Voice mode
Voice Editing
“Editing” refers to the process of creating a Voice by
changing the parameters that make up the Voice. This
can be done in Voice Edit, a sub mode within the Voice
mode. The actual parameters that are available differ
depending on the Voice type.
Normal Voice Edit
A Normal Voice (pitched musical instrument-type
sounds) can consist of up to eight Elements. There are
two types of Voice Edit displays: Common Edit, for editing
the settings common to all eight Elements; and Element
Edit, for editing individual Elements. In Element Edit, you
can edit the parameters only on the S90 XS/S70 XS
Editor.
NOTE The output level of the Element can be edited on the panel of this
instrument. For further details, refer to “Adjusting the Element
level.”
Drum Voice Edit
There are two types of Drum Voice Edit displays:
Common Edit, for editing the settings that apply to all
Drum keys in the Voice; and Element Edit, for editing
individual keys (Elements). In Key Edit, you can edit the
parameters only on the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor.
Adjusting the Element level
1 Press the [EDIT] button in the Voice mode.
2 Press the Slider Function button a few times
so that the lamp turns off.
3 Use Number [1] – [8] buttons to select the
Element you want to edit.
4 Use the Slider to set the output level for the
selected Element.
When any of the Number [1] – [4] buttons are selected, the
levels of Elements 1 – 4 will be assigned to the Sliders 1 – 4.
When any of the Number [5] – [8] buttons are selected, the
levels of Elements 5 – 8 will be assigned.
Enhancing the sound with
Effects
This instrument features a wide variety of Effects, letting
you add reverb and chorus processing to the selected
Voice for your keyboard performance. Simply changing
the Effect type applied to the preset Voice lets you
instantly come up with different sounds. The instructions
below explain how to set the Effect type and the related
parameters applied to the Preset Voice then store the
settings as a User Voice.
1 Press the [VOICE] button to enter the Voice
Play mode.
2 Select the Voice for which you wish to change
or edit the Effect.
3 Press the [EDIT] button.
The Voice Edit Select display appears.
The Edit (
E
) Indicator
When changing the value of the parameter in the Voice/
Performance/Multi Play or Edit display, the Edit Indicator
will appear on the top right corner of the LCD. This gives a
quick confirmation that the current Voice/Performance/
Multi has been modified but not yet stored. To store the
current edited status, follow the instructions.
About Elements
An Element is the basic and the smallest unit for a Voice,
and is created by applying various parameters (Effect, EG,
etc.) to the waveform of the instrument sound. Each Voice
of this instrument consists of several Elements.
