Editing a Voice
3
Call up the Common Edit display or Element Edit display.
If you wish to edit the sounds that make up a Voice and the basic parameters that determine the sound—such as Oscillator,
Pitch, Filter, Amplitude, and EG (Envelope Generator)—call up the Element Edit display.
If you wish to edit more global parameters related to the overall Voice and how it's processed—such as Arpeggio, Controller,
and Effects—call up the Common Edit display.
While in the Voice Edit mode, you can switch between
the Common Edit display and the Element Edit display
as shown below.
Calling up the Common Edit display

Basic parameters for creating a sound
Element selection [F1] – [F6]
If you wish to edit the basic sound-generating and
soundshaping parameters for the Voice—such as
Oscillator, Pitch, Filter, Amplitude, and EG (Envelope
Generator)—use the Common Edit display.
Effect related parameters
[COMMON] [F6] EFFECT
The Effects use DSP (Digital Signal Processing) to alter and
enhance the sound of a Voice. Effects are applied in the
final stages of editing, letting you change the sound of the
created Voice as desired. The Common Edit display lets
you edit the Effect related parameters.
Controller related parameters
[COMMON] [F4] CTL SET (Controller Set)
For each Voice, you can assign various functions to built-in
controllers such as Pitch Bend Wheel, Modulation Wheel,
Knobs (ASSIGN1 and 2), and optionally connected
controllers such as Footswitch and Foot Controller. These
settings can be edited in the Common Edit display.
