There are three kinds of Voices: Normal Voices, Drum Voices and Plug-in Voices (if a Plug-in board has been installed). The following section 
shows how to edit the different types of voices and explains the parameters available. Note that available parameters to be edited differ 
depending on the Voice types (Normal Voice, Drum Voice, Plug-in Voice).

When a Normal Voice is selected, the Voice Edit parameters are divided into Common Edit (parameters common to all four Elements), and 
Element Edit (parameters of individual Elements).

These parameters are for making global (or common) edits to all four Elements of the selected Normal Voice.
