Voice mode
In Voice mode you can organize, play and edit a 6-op FM voice. This mode responds to
the Global Channel, see Global > MIDI configuration.
Voice List
Bank / Voice Lists : Those lists
allows you to select the voice you
want to play or edit in this mode
By Category : Shows the
voices/patches sorted by
Category instead of sorting them
by Bank.
Find : Allows to search a
voice by name.
MIDI activity indicator : Shows the Pan (light vertical bar), Volume (height), Channel
(channel number or G for global channel) and MIDI activity (color) in a very compact way.
Edit : Goes into the Voice Edit Mode
Swap: Swaps the current voice with another one. Pressing this button will open a popup
letting you choose the voice to swap with, and has an “Update related patches”
checkbox. It's very important to keep it checked if the two voices you are swapping are
used by some patches. All patches using them will be modified accordingly and are now
in unsaved state (you need to save them afterwards).
Clear : Resets completely the current voice
Show Patches : Shows all patches using the selected voice. It’s useful to see which
patches will be affected when editing this voice.
Create Patch From : Creates a patch from the current selected voice, copying its name,
category and auto-assigning the voice to the first layer of the patch.
The following parameters aren’t stored within the voice, they are for playing purposes:
Pitch Bend Range (0 ~ 96): Pitch Bend range in semitone
Volume (0 ~ 127): Volume of the voice
Pan (0 ~ 127): Pan of the voice
Mono : Toggles voice to monodic play mode
