VOICE EDIT MODE
Summary: Determines the balance between the di-
rect and effect sound for each active element.
Settings: 0 ... 100
Procedure: The and cursor keys are used
to select the element for which the effect bal-
ance is to be set (EL 1, EL2, EL3 or EL4 will
appear in the upper right-hand comer of the dis-
play). Unavailable elements are represented by
" * * * " on the display. The [DATA ENTRY]
control, [-1/NO] and [+1/YES] keys, or numeric
and [ENTER] keys are used to set the effect bal-
ance.
Details: A setting of "0" produces only the direct
sound of the selected element, while a setting of
"100" produces only the effect sound. A setting
of "50" delivers both the direct and effect sound
in approximately equal proportions.
The effect (reverb, delay, etc.) applied to the
voice is selected and edited using the EFFECT
functions described on page 86.
Refer to: Tutorial, page 43. "EFFECT: TYPE/OUT-
PUT LEVEL" on page 85. "EFFECT: EFFECT

Details: Normally you want the pitch of the AWM
wave (or waves) used in a voice to be control-
lable from a keyboard or other type of control-
ler, so this parameter will be set to "norm" for
most applications.
In some cases — sound effects in particular
— you might want the same pitch to be pro-
duced no matter what note you play on the key-
board or other controller. In this case, the "fix"
mode is appropriate. The Frequency Note pa-
rameter described below can be used to set the
note produced when the "fix" mode is selected.
