MORE ABOUT VOICES: THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY VOICE
An Emax II key can contain up to two “channels.” These two channels contain the
Primary and Secondary voices. For example, the primary voice might be a guitar note,
and the secondary voice a detuned version of the same guitar note. When they are
played together, you hear chorusing. Also, a preset contains information about how the
keyboard dynamics affect the primary and secondary voices. For example, the primary
voice could be that of a drum hit played softly, and the secondary of a drum hit played
loudly. You could then set up the keyboard so that playing the keyboard softly plays the
primary voice, and playing the keyboard more forcefully plays the secondary voice.
MODULE
A Module controls a particular section of the Emax II. There are six main modules (see
the labels to the right of the 12 main pushbuttons) and a sequencer module that has six
sub-modules (see the labels to the left of the 12 main pushbuttons).
FUNCTION
Each module contains individual numbered Functions. Example: function 2 in the
MASTER module checks the amount of memory remaining.
ACTIVATING A MODULE
To work with a module, you must first activate it. Press the button associated with the
desired module. The display will then show the Module Identifier.
THE MODULE IDENTIFIER
When you activate a module, the display identifies which module you have activated,
and how many functions are available.
There are two ways to select a function within the module. Those just getting started can
move the data slider until the display shows the desired function, then press ENTER. As
you work with the Emax II, though, you will start to memorize the function numbers and
will probably find it faster to simply key in the appropriate function number using the
numeric keypad.
Example: if the manual says to “activate MASTER 2,” you would first press the
MASTER main pushbutton. Then, either key in 2 using the numeric keypad, or move
the slider until the display shows function 2 and press ENTER.
Note: If a module is already active, and you are finished with one function, you do not
need to re-activate the module—just key in the new function number.
