GENERAL display of the Utility mode. Making a setting here
automatically changes the setting of that parameter as well.
Changing the tonal qualities of the
Voice
Knobs 1 – 8 let you adjust a variety of parameters for the

characteristics, timbre, and others. Three functions can be
assigned to each Knob, alternatively selected via the Knob
Function buttons.

The Edit Indicator
When changing the value of the parameter, the Edit Indicator
will appear on the top right corner of the LCD. This gives a
quick confirmation that the current program (such as Voice and
Performance) has been modified but not yet stored. To store
the current edited status, execute the Store operation (below).

Editing a Voice

"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.
NOTE
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.
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 Key Edit, for editing individual keys.
