Voice Edit - Yamaha CS6X Owner's Manual

Voice Edit

There are 256 Normal Voice presets and 8 Drum
Voice presets. You can edit these to create new
Voices, or build completely new Voices from
scratch. You can then store up to 128 of these
new/edited Normal Voices and up to 2 new/edited
Drum Voices to internal user memory or external
Memory Card.
The following procedure gives a basic idea about
how to go about creating/editing Voices.
Of course, this is just one example; you are free to
set any parameters in any way you like. Details
about each parameter are given in the Reference
section of this manual.
All parameter settings are stored along with the
Voice itself.

to edit.

common to all Elements in the Voice (volume,
pitch, tone, etc.) You can also set parameters
related to the Arpeggiator, Controllers, Effects,
and so on.

Waves used by the Elements in the Voice, plus
the volume, pan, note range and other basic
parameters.

Generator) screens, adjust the parameters of
the filters used by the Elements. Also set the
FEG parameters as necessary.
