6 - Voice Processing
Voice Processing contains the traditional synthesizer controls such as envelope shaping
of amplitude and filters as well as modulation parameters. When multiple voices are
selected, parameter changes affect all selected voices (i.e. setting the filter cutoff to 50,
sets it to 50 on all selected voices). The voice processing parameters are accessed by
clicking on the Voice Processing icon in the Tree.
To Select Multiple Voices:
Assign voices to Groups in the Voices and Zones page, then select the group.
Select the desired voices from the Voices and Zones page.
Hold Crtl+Alt and play your MIDI keyboard to select voices (with IntelliEdit on).
Press Ctrl-A to select all voices from the voice processing page.
Simplified Emulator X Signal Path
A single Emulator X voice is diagrammed below. The audio path includes one or more
samples, a dynamically controlled filter, and a dynamically controlled amplifier with a
panning network. Modulation parameters operate simultaneously on all samples
contained in a voice. PatchCords with built-in amount controls connect modulation
sources (LFOs, envelopes, knobs, etc.) to modulation destinations (sample pitch, filter,
amp volume, etc.). Memorize this voice architecture diagram to better understand
Emulator X and make programming much easier.
