GUIDED TOUR #2: SPECIFYING THE “CURRENT VOICE”
BACKGROUND
The Emax has two modules dedicated exclusively to processing Voices within a Preset:
DIGITAL PROCESSING and ANALOG PROCESSING
.
Each Voice stored in a Bank can be processed independently (or groups of Voices may be processed
simultaneously if desired). Therefore, we need a way to specify the Current Voice, which is the individual
Voice (or collection of individual Voices) to be processed.
The concept of the Current Voice is important. To process one Voice out of a Preset, assign the Current
Voice to be that one Voice, and process it. To process more than one Voice at a time, specify a group of
Voices to be the Current Voice and process all Voices simultaneously
This section covers how to identify which keyboard keys belong to which Voice, and how to specify which
Voices or Voices make up the Current Voice. For a short form version of this tour, see
ANALOG
PROCESSING 00
and
DIGITAL PROCESSING 00.
Begin this tour by write-protecting the Arco Strings disk (
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 2
) and loading it
into the Bank. Write-protecting the disk means that should you hit the wrong function the wrong time, you
don’t have to worry about accidentally erasing or overwriting the disk. Also, read the section
FUNCTION
,
ENTER DATA
as the
ENTER
button will be used frequently during this and most subsequent tours.
Identifying which keyboard keys belong to which Voice
1. Once the Arco Strings disk is loaded, the display should show 01 as the Current Preset. Activate the
Analog Processing Module; its LED will light after a few seconds. If a Current Voice has not been
previously selected (it shouldn’t have if you just loaded in the disk), the display will say:
If this is the case, move on to step 2. If a Current Voice has been previously assigned, the display’s
top line will give the Module Identifier. If this is the case, before proceeding to step 2 initiate the
CHANGE CURRENT VOICE
function by keying in 00.
Note:
that if the Preset contains Primary and Secondary Voices, the display will ask whether
you want to process the Primary, Secondary, or both Voices (
GENERAL
INSTRUCTIONS 2
). With this Preset, however, there are only Primary Voices. Emax is a
smart little critter, so it won’t ask you to select between Primary and Secondary Voices
unless both types of Voices are present.
2. Play the keyboard, starting at the lowest note. The upper display line will show the note you’re
playing, while the lower display line will show the Voice number and its original pitch (in this case,
01 and G1) The original pitch is the pitch of the sample itself.
See
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 4
for details on the keyboard numbering protocol.
This lower display line remains as is until you play the first A#1. From this, we can conclude that
Voice 01’s original pitch is G1, and that it was transposed to cover the range from C1 to A1.
