Preset Edit - Dynamic
Processing Level
The Dynamic Processing level contains the traditional synthesizer controls such as envelope shaping of amplitude and filters as well as modulation parameters. Multiple voices can be selected in this level, unlike in Preset Definition where only one voice can be selected or edited at a time.
The dynamic processing parameters are accessed by pressing the Edit function key while in one of the Voice screens (or directly via an assignable key). Multiple voice selection is supported in any of the dynamic processing editing screens using a MIDI keyboard.

The signal path is actually very simple. You have one or more samples, a dynamically controlled filter, and a dynamically controlled amplifier with a panning network. Modulation parameters operate simultaneously on all samples contained in a voice.

When several samples are simultaneously sounding, each one goes through its own filter and amplifier, even though the voice modulation parameters are the same.

Each voice can have its own complete set of synthesizer parameters and modulation routings, or you can select a range of keyboard and edit any parameters you wish for that range. This voice system is very flexible because you can work with multisampled voices or single sample voices.

The screen shown above is part of the Dynamic Processing level of the Preset Editor. The page name is shown in the upper left hand corner. The small [M] indicates that voice selection is in Manual Mode. A small diamond ♦ appears next to the Auto/Manual indicator if the range you selected on the keyboard does not correspond with the actual boundaries of the selected voices.
The number of selected voices and the low and high key of the voice range is indicated by the top right line of the display. The lower left function key enables the Utilities menu. There are also four toggling function keys which select the synthesizer modules.
Tuning: Contains parameters which control the samples such as
Transpose, Tuning, Nontranspose, Chorus, Delay, Start Offset, Glide, and
Assign mode.
OThe last selected screen Amp/Filter: Controls the Dynamic Filter and Amplifier including their
in each of the four submodules is dedicated six-part envelopes. automatically remembered.
LFO/Aux: Controls two low frequency oscillators and an auxiliary six-part envelope.
Cords: Contains the 24 assignable patchcords which connect everything together.
