Automatic Voice Selection

Automatic Voice Selection

Voices within the currently selected group (or All) may also be selected directly from any voice edit screen without having to go back to the voice select screen.

v To Select a Voice using the Auto Select feature:

1.From the Voice Selection screen (Preset Edit, Edit Voice, Utils, VSelect), press Auto (F3).

2.Select a group number (if desired) from the voice selection screen. Auto Select will only select voices from the group you choose (group number or all).

3.Press OK to exit voice selection.

4.Voices will now be selected by playing the keyboard in any voice edit screen (Tuning, Amp/Filt, LFO/Aux, Cords).

5.Selecting a single note will select all voices assigned to that key.

6.Selecting a keyboard range by pressing two notes at once will select all voices within that range.

WARNING!

Be careful when selecting a range of voices using Auto Select! When you play the keyboard to hear the results of your edit, you are changing the voice selection range. Be sure to re-key the voice selection range before resuming your editing.

Set

This button performs the same function as the Isolate key in the Voice Selection screen. If the selected key range does not exactly match the voice ranges, you will be asked if you want to isolate new voices from the existing range. Pressing Yes creates a new voice or voices based on your selected range. Pressing No simply selects the included voices.

Solo Voice

When Solo Voice is activated only the currently selected voice will be heard. The voice number will be flashing to remind you that the voice is soloed. Solo voice works both in the Preset Definition level and the Dynamic Processing level of the Preset Editor.

See “Solo Voice” on page 307.

Key Transpose

O Use Transpose when you want the voice's timbre to remain constant.

Use Coarse Tuning when you want to change the timbre of the voice.

O Use the Coarse Tuning control to change the tuning of voices containing multiple drums.

Key Transpose

This function allows you to transpose the key of the selected voice(s) in semitone intervals by shifting the keyboard position relative to middle C. The transpose range is -24 to +24 semitones. You will normally use the transpose function to tune a voice to its keyboard location, or simply to transpose the voice.

v To Transpose a Voice:

1.From the Dynamic Processing level of the Preset Editor, select the voice(s) you wish to transpose using the voice selection screen.

2.Press the Tuning function key (F2).

3.Use the Previous and Next Page keys to locate the Voice Tuning screen shown on the previous page.

4.Select Key Transpose using the cursor keys.

5.Change the transpose parameter to the desired amount using the Data Entry Control or the INC/DEC keys.

6.Press the Exit key to return to the Preset Definition level of the Preset Editor or press any of the dynamic processing function keys to move to another module.

Coarse Tuning

This function allows you to change the tuning of the voice in semitone intervals. The coarse tuning range is -72 to +24 semitones. Unlike the transpose function, coarse tuning stretches the pitch of the individual samples assigned to a key and may change the timbre of a voice.

v To Coarse Tune a Voice:

1.From the Dynamic Processing level of the Preset Editor, select the voice(s) you wish to coarse tune using the voice selection screen, then press the Tuning function key (F2).

2.Use the Previous and Next Page keys to locate the Voice Tuning screen.

3.Select Coarse Tune using the cursor keys.

4.Change the Coarse Tuning parameter to the desired amount using the Data Entry Control or the INC/DEC keys.

5.Press the Exit key to return to the Preset Definition level of the Preset Editor or press any of the dynamic processing function keys to move to another module.

Fine Tuning

Fine Tuning

This function allows you to change the tuning of the voice in 1/64 semitone intervals (approx. 1.56 cents). The fine tuning range is ± 1 semitone. Fine tuning can be used to slightly detune a voice, creating a “fatter” sound when it is combined with another voice.

v To Fine Tune a Voice:

1.From the Dynamic Processing level of the Preset Editor, select the voice(s) you wish to fine tune using the voice selection screen, then press the Tuning function key (F2).

2.Use the Previous and Next Page keys to locate the Voice Tuning screen.

3.Select Fine Tuning using the cursor keys.

4.Adjust the Fine Tuning parameter to the desired amount using the Data Entry Control or the INC/DEC keys.

5.Press the Exit key to return to the Preset Definition level of the Preset Editor or press any of the dynamic processing function keys to move to another module.

Non-transpose Mode

This function turns keyboard transposition On or Off for the voice. With Nontranspose On, the keyboard will not control the pitch of the voice. This is a useful function for drones or “chiffs”, which you may not want to track the keyboard.

v To Set a Voice to Non-Transpose:

1.From the Dynamic Processing level of the Preset Editor, select the voice(s) you wish to put in non-transpose mode using the voice selection screen, then press the Tuning function key (F2).

2.Use the Previous and Next Page keys to locate the Voice Tuning screen.

3.Select Nontranspose using the cursor keys.

4.Turn Non-transpose On or Off using the Data Entry Control or the INC/DEC keys.

5.Press the Exit key to return to the Preset Definition level of the Preset Editor or press any of the dynamic processing function keys to move to another module.
