Voice Edit

There are 256 Normal Voice presets and 8 Drum Voice presets. You can edit these to create new Voices, or build completely new Voices from scratch. You can then store up to 128 of these new/edited Normal Voices and up to 2 new/edited Drum Voices to internal user memory or external Memory Card.

The following procedure gives a basic idea about how to go about creating/editing Voices.

Of course, this is just one example; you are free to set any parameters in any way you like. Details about each parameter are given in the Reference section of this manual.

All parameter settings are stored along with the Voice itself.
