Examine a Voice
Each voice has its own synthesizer section (called Voice Processing) to process the raw
samples. You can process each voice separately or select all voices to be processed in
the same way.
1. Go to the Tree and click on preset P0015 Dana-him. Play the keyboard. You
should be able to hear the preset.
2. Open the preset by clicking on the plus sign(+), then click on the Voice Processing
icon. The Voice Processing page shown below appears.
Step 3.
Select All
Step 5
Set to LFO 1 ~
Step 6
Set to Filter Frequency
3. Near the top of the screen near the keyboard you’ll see the Group Selector. Set this
to All, to select all voices in the preset.
4. Feel free to explore the synthesizer section. The filter section is probably a good
place to begin. Change the filter type, then adjust the frequency and Q controls as
you play the keyboard. Note that the filter response display changes as you change
the filter settings.
Cords
One reason synthesizers are able to generate such complex sounds is because most, if
not all, of their processes can be placed under automatic control. Here’s an example.
5. Tired of turning the filter frequency by hand? Let’s program one of the LFOs to do
it. Choose Cord #8 and set the left selection box to LFO 1 ~.
6. You’ve just connected one end of a Cord. Like all cords, you’ve got to connect both
ends for it to do anything. Connect the other end of the cord to Filter Frequency.
See Groups on
page 81 for detailed
information on how to
select groups of voices.
