If this is the case, move on to step 2. If a current voice has been previously assigned, the
display’s top line will give the module identifier. If this is the case, before proceeding to
step 2 initiate the CHANGE CURRENT VOICE function by keying in 00.
Note: that if the preset contains primary and secondary voices, the display will ask
whether you want to process the primary, secondary, or both voices (GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS 2). With this preset, however, there are only primary voices. Emax II
is a smart little critter, so it won’t ask you to select between primary and secondary voices
unless both types of voices are present.
2. Play the keyboard, starting at the lowest note. The upper display line will show the
note you’re playing, while the lower display line will show the voice number and its
original pitch (in this case, 01 and F#0). The original pitch is the pitch of the sample itself.
See GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 3 for details on the keyboard numbering protocol.
Lo:A-1
Pri:01 Orig:F#0
This lower display line remains as is until you play the first A. From this, we can
conclude that voice 01’s original pitch is F#0, and that it was transposed to cover the
range from A-1 to G#0.
If there were both primary and secondary voices present, the display might look
something like this:
Lo:A-1
P:01 F#0 S:05 F0
Play ascending keys, one at a time, over the full range of the keyboard. The display will
give the voice number and the original pitch. Take a minute or two and note where the
various voices begin and end, and which voices are at which locations on the keyboard.
They should be as follows, with the original keys indicated by the numbered arrows:
