In this mode, Normal Voices and Drum Voices can be 
created and edited. 
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 kinds of voices and explains the parameters 
available.

◆ The [ ] Indicator

If you alter any parameters in Voice Edit Mode, the [

] 

indicator will appear in the top left of the display. This 
indicates that the current voice has been modified but 
not yet stored.

n Even if you exit to the Voice Play mode, your edited 

settings for the current voice will be maintained — as 
long as you don’t select another voice.

n The [ ] indicator is also displayed in the Voice Play 

mode. 

◆ The Compare Function

This convenient function lets you switch between the 
edited voice and its original, unedited condition — 
allowing you to listen to the difference between the 
two and better hear how your edits affect the sound.

In the Voice Edit mode, press the [COMPARE] 
button so that its indicator flashes.
The [

] indicator is shown at the top of the 

display (in place of the [

] indicator), and the 

original, unedited voice is restored for monitoring.

Press the [EDIT] button again to disable the 
“Compare” function and restore the settings for 
your edited Voice.

n While Compare is active, you cannot make edits to 

the voice.

◆ Common edit and Element edit

A Voice can consist of up to four elements (page 42). 
Use Common Edit to edit the settings common to all 
four elements. There are two types of Voice Edit 
displays: those for Common Edit, and those for editing 
individual elements.
