Yamaha Electone EL-87 Owner's Manual - page 92

In addition to the versatile Flute Voices section, the EL-87 Electone has a Voice Edit feature that
allows you to create your own voices. The Voice Edit uses sophisticated sound shaping tools that
make it possible to craft just about any kind of sound—from authentic recreations of acoustic
instruments to wild electronic voices and special effects.
The following section will introduce you to the basics of voice editing by taking you step by step
through a specific editing example. As you follow the steps, you may find many of the terms and
parameter names to be unfamiliar. Once you go through the editing steps, however, we suggest that
you read through the Voice Editing Basics section (see page 96) to get a firmer understanding of the
principles behind voice editing.
