Editing a Voice by using the Knobs
The four knobs at the top left of the instrument are not only for tweaking the sound while you perform — you can also use
them to edit a Voice, either in the Voice Play mode or the Voice Edit mode.
â—Ź When the [PAN/SEND] indicator is turned on:
â—Ź When the [TONE] indicator is turned on:
n The settings above are applied as offsets to the AEG and FEG settings in the Voice Edit mode.
â—Ź When the [ARP FX] indicator is turned on:
â—Ź When the [EQ] indicator is turned on:

n In addition to above functions, Master Effect related parameters (set in the [UTILITY] → [F3] VOICE → [SF2] MEF display) can be assigned to
these four knobs by pressing the [ARP FX] and [EQ] buttons simultaneously. The particular parameters assigned to the four knobs can be set in the
[UTILITY] → [F4] CTL ASN → [SF5] MEF display.
Editing a Voice by using the Control Sliders (CS)
In the Voice mode, the four Control Sliders let you independently adjust the levels of the Elements of a Normal Voice or the
Drum Voice keys. When a Normal Voice is selected, you can adjust the level balance among the four Elements.
n Inadvertent use of the sliders may result in no sound. If this occurs, move the sliders upward.
PAN Determines the stereo pan position of the Voice. [VOICE] → Voice selection → [EDIT] → [COMMON] →

TEMPO
Determines the tempo of the Arpeggio assigned to the currently selected Voice.

RESONANCE Boosts or attenuates the level at the area around the Filter cutoff
frequency.

ATTACK Determines the attack time of the sound. For example, you can adjust a
strings Voice so that the sound gradually swells in volume by setting a
slow attack time – simply turn this knob to the right.
[VOICE] → Voice selection → [F5] EG → ATK (AEG) Page 189
RELEASE Determines the release time of the sound. Turning the knob to the right
sets a long release time and (depending on the selected Voice) lets the
sound sustain after the key is released. To produce a sharp release, in
which the sound abruptly cuts off, set a short release time.
