You may process this raw sample via filtering, truncation and so on to create a
Voice
.
Individual voices can be saved to disk and loaded from disk as part of a
Preset
. The preset
can store up to two voices per key, each identified by a two-digit voice number and the
voice’s original pitch.
MAKING A “PRESET”
A voice can be assigned to a single note on the keyboard, or transposed polyphonically
to cover a wider range of the keyboard. The process of assigning, and optionally
transposing, voices to specific ranges of the keyboard is called
Making a Preset
. (Note:
It is often necessary to use multiple voices to make up a preset, since wide-range
transposition alters the voice’s timbre. Therefore, using multiple samples and transpos-
ing each over a small range usually gives the most realistic sound). Individual presets,
including their voices and samples, can be loaded from disk. Making a preset is a three-
step process:
1. Create the preset and give it a number and name. The bank can hold up to 100 presets.
2. Assign voices to different ranges of the keyboard (for example, with five voices you
could assign each voice to cover one octave of the keyboard). Note that the same sample
can be assigned to more than one range of the keyboard in a given preset. Also, that
sample can be assigned to more than one preset.
3. Choose from a number of options that further define the preset, such as assigning
voices to partially or fully overlap other voices (thus producing doubling effects),
assigning dynamic control to individual voices in a preset, erasing presets you don’t like,
cataloguing presets, adding arpeggiation, setting up MIDI parameters, etc.
THE CURRENT PRESET
When you load a sound disk, a preset will be ready to play and the display will show the
preset number. This is the
Current Preset
. If you select another preset, or create a preset,
it will become the current preset.
THE CURRENT VOICE
Voices contained in a preset can be sent to the Dynamic and Digital Processing modules
for further alteration. However, since a preset typically contains several voices, we need
to specify which voice, or voices, we want to process. This is called
Selecting the Current
Voice
, another three-step process.
1. Call up a preset that contains the voice(s) to be processed.
2. Select the range of the keyboard to be processed. This will automatically select the
voice, or voices, that fall within the specified range (a group of voices being processed
simultaneously is still referred to as the “current voice”).
