case, before proceeding, to step 2 initiate the CHANGE CURRENT VOICE function by
keying in 00
if the Voice Definition module is active, or 0 if the Filter or VCA/LFO module
is active.
Note:
We hereby formally apologize that the Voice Definition CHANGE CURRENT
VOICE function (00) is not printed on the front panel label. This is because we had the
labels printed up before the function was implemented, and since we have over 1,000
pricey custom labels sitting in the warehouse and we aren’t about to throw them
out...well, you get the picture.
1. Play a key. The display’s top line will now give the Voice number and name of the Voice
assigned to that key; the bottom line will most likely say “Play a Key”. The
ENTER
LED
will be flashing.
Example:
Play a note in the lowest octave, and the display identifies the Voice...
V01 Piano A1*
Play a Key
*
or
possibly
A2
If the bottom line reads “Again2nd Voice” instead of “Play a Key”, it means that another
Voice overlaps (“doubles”) this key. Press the same key again; the display’s top line will
show the overlapping Voice, and the bottom line will say Again=2nd Voice.
2. Play different keys, one at a time, over the full range of the keyboard. The display will
give the Voice number and name to which each key belongs, and (if appropriate)
indicate when it is being doubled by another Voice. Take a minute or two and note
where the various Voices begin and end, and which Voices are at which locations on the
keyboard.
Hint:
Most Emulator II owners list the pitch of the originally sampled note with a Voice
name. In the previous example, Voice 01 was a piano note originally sampled at pitch of
A, lowest octave (A1). Octaves are referenced so that the left-most octave spans C1-B1,
the next octave to the right C2-B2, and so on until the right-most octave spans C5-C6.
(Note: Early Grand Piano disks have the octave numbers offset by one. These disks are
identical to newer versions in all other respects.)
3. When the display shows the Voice (or one of the Voices) to be processed, press
ENTER. For now, choose any Voice and press
ENTER
; this Voice has now been
assigned as the Current Voice.
