    Overview of Voice/Element/Multi Each Voice can consist of up to four Elements. Each Element itself is a high-quality waveform or instrument sound. Voice & Element Each Voice can consist of up to four Elements. Elements are made from waveforms, and the quality of the Elements is high enough that each can be used on its own as a voice.

  • Page 22: Normal Voices & Drum Voices

    Normal Voices & Drum Voices There are two Voice types: Normal Voices and Drum Voices. Normal Voices are mainly pitched instrument sounds that can be played over the range of the keyboard. Drum Voices are mainly percussion/drum sounds that are assigned to individual notes on the keyboard.

  • Page 43 In PAGES 13 to 22, you can use the filter to change the tonal characteristics of each Element, by adjusting overtones (harmonic tones) included in the waveform from the Element. The S08 employs an LPF (low pass filter). Only frequencies below this point are passed. In addition, you can set the amount of Resonance (harmonic boost) applied to the signal around the cutoff frequency.
  • Page 44 ● AMP (Amplitude) In PAGES 23 to 31, you can set the volume of each Element after the OSC (Oscillator), PITCH and FILTER parameters have been applied, as well as the final overall volume of the signal sent to the outputs.

  • Page 45: Storing Edited Voices

    ● LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) In PAGES 32 to 35, you can edit the LFO, which (as its name suggests) produces waveforms of a low frequency. These waveforms can be used to vary the pitch, filter or amplitude of each Element to create effects such as vibrato, wah and tremolo.

  • Page 46: Effects

    In the final stages of programming, you can set the effects parameters to further change the sound’s character. The S08 has two System Effect units (Reverb and Chorus) plus a Variation Effect unit (see below). Different effects settings can be set per Voice (in the Voice mode) and per Multi (in the Multi mode), though the connection between the Effect units will vary in each case.
