Using the Plug-in Board Editor
— Example Operation
There is no single way in which to use the many components in Plug-in Board Editor.
Your particular editing needs may differ; however, the following steps provide an example of how to
use the Plug-in Board Editor.
1.
Start the Plug-in Board Editor. If you use the Editor as a stand-alone application, click the
"MIDI SETUP" button and set the appropriate MIDI port. Assign the plug-in board to a part in
the "Select Part" dialog. Then click the "Editor Setup" button to open the "Setup" dialog. Select
the appropriate MIDI Out Port and Device No. settings (see the section "Setup" Dialog).
NOTE Editor Setup can be called up from the toolbar of the Library window.
2.
Click "OK" in the "Select Part" dialog. The Edit window of the User Voice No. 001 and the
Library window will open.
In the Library window, you can open existing Library files containing the Voices you wish to edit,
NOTE
and specific voices can be imported to the Library window.
3.
Various units are arranged in the Edit window. First, let's select the wave set to be used in the
ORIGINAL KIT. Then select the note to be edited in the KEY Unit. Adjust the tonal
characteristics of the voice using the filter and other settings. You can use the graph editors in
each dialog to visually edit the parameters.
NOTE By enabling the "Compare" button in the toolbar in the Edit window, you can make A/B
comparisons between the original voice and the edited voice.

Select the Reverb Type in the EFFECT Unit and set the remaining parameters.
6.
Click the "Store" button in the toolbar of the Edit window to open the "Store" dialog. This will
store the edits for the current voice in the Library file.
The edits for the voice are only stored in the Library file temporarily. Beware that if you proceed
NOTE
further without saving the Library file itself, you will lose all your edits.
7.
Switch back to the Library window and click the "Save" button in the toolbar to save (overwrite)
the Library file. The edits for your voice will be saved with the voice itself in the designated voice
list location.

NOTE
Library window can be transmitted to your plug-in board.
• You can create a variety of different Library files, each tailored for live performances, recording,
etc. allowing you to modify voices to suit different situations and needs.
