Voice Controls and Effects

The AR-80 features two general kinds of functions that can be used to control or change the sound

of the Voices: Voice controls and effects.

Voice controls are used to change various basic settings for the Voices, such as volume, octave (Feet),

Pan, Vibrato, touch sensitivity (Touch Tone) and Brilliance. The Voice controls, as well as the

selection of certain effects, are provided in the Voice Condition pages (described below).

Effects are an extremely versatile set of tools through which you can dramatically change and

enhance the sound of the Voices. They include: Reverb, Sustain, Tremolo, Symphonic, Delay, and

Flanger. Most effect settings are controlled from the Effect Set pages. (Controls for Reverb, Sustain,

and Tremolo On/Off are provided on the panel.)

The chart below shows the various Voice controls and effects for the individual Voice sections.

Available functions are indicated by circles.
