Guided Tour #3
SPECIFYING THE DYNAMIC PROCESSING MODULE CURRENT
VOICE
Now that we know how many voices there are in the preset, and the range covered by
each voice, let’s specify a range of voices to be altered by the Dynamic Processing
module, starting with the lowest voice. This will become the lowest part of the current
voice.
1. Press a key in the lowest voice of the range you want to process. For this exercise, press
E2. When the upper display line confirms your choice, press ENTER. Since E2 is located
within voice 03, that voice becomes the lowest voice of the current voice. Note that you
could have pressed any key within voice 03 to specify that voice.
2. The display now shows the highest note of the voice in which E2 resides. Don’t press
ENTER yet—but if you did, this highest note would set the upper limit of the current
voice. Instead, let’s make the current voice cover a somewhat wider range. Press C4 (the
display will show this as the new high note) and press ENTER. As with selecting the
lowest voice, selecting any key within the highest voice makes that voice the upper range
of the current voice. Thus, the current voice now extends from V03 to V07, and covers
the range from D2 to D4.
3. You will now see the module identifier, which means you’re ready to start modifying
the sounds in the bank with the Dynamic Processing module, the subject of the next tour.
4. The assigned current voice will remain as is until you either change the current voice
assignment, change presets, or load another bank. If you switch between modules, the
current voice remains as assigned (unless you select the Digital Processing module,
which will be a subject of a later tour).
5. Before proceeding, look over DYNAMIC PROCESSING 00 to help reinforce what
you’ve learned. Now that you know what a current voice is and how to specify it, we’ve
reached the end of this tour (although you may need to come back from time to time to
refresh your memory). In the next tour, we’ll see how to modify voices with the Dynamic
Processing section.
GUIDED TOUR #3:
DYNAMIC PROCESSING OF A VOICE
BACKGROUND
The Dynamic Processing module consists of several sound processing functions. Let’s
start with the Filter and VCA sections, as they are among the most important.
Make sure you have loaded in the Arco Strings (Piano & Strings) bank and selected
the current voice as specified in Guided Tour #2 before proceeding. The display
should show the Dynamic Processing module identifier. If not, repeat Guided Tour
#2.
