The Voice Number Buttons In the Edit Mode
In the EDIT mode, voice number buttons 1 through 14 assume the functions listed
in purple below the buttons.
● Element Select
These buttons select the element to be edited in a 2-element voice when an ELE-
MENT parameter is selected. The currently selected element is indicated by the indicators
above the ELEMENT SELECT buttons, and in the function name at the top of the
display page: “
E1
” for element 1 and “
E2
” for element 2.
In the example display below, element 2 is selected for editing (“
EDIT/E2/
CTRL/PRESSURE
”):
The ELEMENT SELECT buttons will not function when a COMMON parameter is
selected. Of course, “E2” can only be selected in a voice that uses two elements. Single-
element voices use only “E1”.
● Element On/Off
While editing a 2-element voice it is handy to be able to turn one or the other
element off so you can clearly hear the result of edits to the element you are working on.
The ELEMENT ON/OFF buttons perform this function. The on/off status of the elements
is indicated by the indicators above the ELEMET ON/OFF buttons, and by the element
numbers (“
12
”) at the right end of the second display line: a highlighted number indi-
cates that the element is on, a plain number that the element is off. In the following
display, for example, element 2 is on while element 1 is off:
