You can create and edit your original Voices by setting various parameters in both the Voice Play mode and Voice Edit mode, while the Voice Job
mode provides some basic parameter-related tools, such as Initialize and Copy. Once you’ve edited a Voice, you can store it to a User Bank in
internal memory (Flash ROM) and save all edited Voices to a SmartMedia/USB storage device in the File mode.
The Voice Play mode lets you perform a variety of general editing operations on the selected voice. For more detailed and comprehensive
editing operations, use the Voice Edit mode.
nIn the Voice Play mode and Voice Edit mode, you can set the parameters for each Voice. The parameters for all the Voices such as Master EQ and Master
Effect can be set from the [UTILITY] → [F3] VOICE display in the Utility mode.
nThe parameters that have the same name in the Voice Play mode and in the Voice Edit mode have the same functions and settings.
nWhen a Plug-in voice is selected, certain parameters are not available for editing, even if they’re described here.

[UTILITY] → [F4] CTL ASN → [SF2] ASSIGN.
nTCH (Transmit Channel), OCT (Octave), ASA (ASSIGN A), and ASB (ASSIGN B) settings do not belong to each Voice. Because of this,these are not stored as an individual
Voice in the Voice Store mode (page 208).
AS1 (ASSIGN 1),
AS2 (ASSIGN 2)Indicates the functions assigned to the respective Knobs (printed “ASSIGN 1” and “ASSIGN 2”) when the lamps of
both the [PAN/SEND] and [TONE] buttons are turned on. The functions are assigned by setting the Voice Edit
common parameters with the following operation: [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [COMMON] → [F4] CTL SET.
[SF1] ARP1 (Arpeggio 1) - [SF5]
ARP5 (Arpeggio 5)
You can register the desired Arpeggio types to these buttons and call them up any time during your keyboard
performance. Refer to page 66 in the Quick Guide section.
[F2] BANK
This display is available only when a Plug-in Board has been installed and a Voice of the Plug-in Board is selected.
From this display you can select the particular bank on the Plug-in board, and determine whether you will be using a Plug-in voice or a “Board” voice. Board
voices are unprocessed, unaltered voices of the Plug-in board – the “raw material” for Plug-in voices. Plug-in voices are edited Board voices – voices that have
been specially programmed and processed for optimum use with this synthesizer. For more details, see page 74.
Settings:The following selections are available, for example, when a Plug-in voice using the Plug-in board installed to slot 1 is selected: PLG1USR (User Plug-in voice), PLGPRE1 (Preset
Plug-in voice), 032/000 ... (Indicates the Bank Select MSB/LSB of the Board voice. These values differ depending on the installed Plug-in board.)
[F3] EFFECT
Pressing the [F3] EFFECT button in the Voice Play mode calls up the same EFFECT display in the Voice Edit mode ([VOICE] → [EDIT] → [COMMON] → [F6]
EFFECT). From this display, you can set the effect related parameters for the current Voice. See page 194.
[F4] PORTA (Portamento)
From this display you can select monophonic or polyphonic playback and set the Portamento parameters.
Portamento is used to create a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the next.
Mono/PolyDetermines whether the Voice is played back monophonically (single notes only) or polyphonically (multiple
simultaneous notes).
Settings:mono, poly
nWhen pressing the second note while holding the first note with the PortaSw set to on and the Mono/Poly set to on, the second
note sound starts succeeding the transition of the first note, or the second note starts not from the EG (AEG/PEG/FEG) start
point but from the EG (AEG/PEG/FEG) point the first note reaches. This realizes the legato performance. This legato degree
can be set with the following operation: [VOICE] → [EDIT] → [COMMON] → [F1] GENERAL → [SF4] PORTA → LegatoSlope
(page 190).
PortaSw (Portamento Switch)Determines whether Portamento is applied to the current Voice or not.
