Edit Sound 16•1
GENERAL INFORMATION
THE FIRST FEW PAGES OF THIS CHAPTER DISCUSS THE
EDIT SOUND ENVIRONMENT FROM A GENERAL POINT OF
VIEW
. IF YOU WANT TO SKIP THE PRELIMINARIES AND GO

Difference between Edit Perf Sound and Edit Sound
Unlike the «Edit Perf Sound» environment, where
any the Sound assigned to a Track of a Perform-
ance inherits the modifications applied to the
tracks, the «Edit Sound” environment allows you
to modify the Sound parameters. The result is a
RAM-Sound that you can store to the SK760/880
sound library, assign to any track of any Perform-
ance and save to Disk.
The oscillators and layers
SK760/880 Sounds can comprise 1, 2 or 3 lay-
ers. Each layer is elaborated by an associated
“Algorithm” of synthesis (explained afterwards).
The layers can be simultaneously edited and the
results can be instantly heard.
• 16 Edit Sound
Given that the SK760/880 Sounds can comprise
up to 3 layers, the left column of all the Edit Sound
displays is dedicated to their selection by means
of the corresponding soft button (A1, A2, A3). The
layers can also be muted to isolate the layer cur-
rently in edit, allowing you to listen to the modi-
fied sound on its own.
Press the corresponding soft button repeatedly to toggle
between the “L” ad “M” status.
For each layer, it is possible to program the key
range and set the maximum key velocity.
The Algorithms
An Algorithm is the “signal path” of a sample to
the audio outputs, through a series of process-
ing functions that you select during the course of
the editing tasks.
The processing functions which you assign dur-
ing the various editing stages are the synthesis
tools (oscillators, filters, amplitude envelopes,
etc.).
While you cannot change the path of an Algo-
rithm, you can choose from a selection of 5 dif-
ferent Algorithms, each representing a fixed sig-
nal path, and assign a wide variety of processing
functions to the individual stages of the algo-
rithm’s path. The following graphical represen-
tations illustrate the signal path of the Algorithms.

Layer 2 Algorithm X
Layer 3 Algorithm X
Each layer can comprise 1 or 2 oscillators, de-
pending on the algorithm selected for the layer.
Each oscillator has an Amplitude envelope, a
Pitch envelope, a Pan envelope, a Low Fre-
quency Oscillator (LFO) and a Filter with relative
envelope. Depending on the algorithm selected,
the amplitude envelope can be shared by both
oscillators with a balance control, and the filters
can be connected in series or in parallel.
