Voice Select

Voice Select

You might want to process one voice, one group, several voices, or the entire keyboard. This important function allows you to select which voice or voices will be processed by the dynamic processing parameters. If there is only one group in the preset, the group selection field will be faded out, indicating that it cannot be selected. Set a specific group number (rather than “all”) to select voices from a specific group.

Function Keys

•Cancel: Cancels the new voice selection.

•Isolate: Automatically creates new voices based on new zone selection.

•Auto/Manual: Toggles between Auto/Manual voice select modes. See Automatic Voice Selection.

•All: Selects all voices in the preset.

•OK: Confirms the new voice selection.

The Voice field contains several selections.

•All: Selects all voices in the group.

•Zone: This type of selection allows you to select any arbitrary range by selecting low and high keys on the keyboard. The zone range can also be selected by moving the cursor to the low and high key fields and selecting low and high keys with the Data Entry Control. Zone will be automatically selected if you play two different keys on the keyboard.

Pressing the Isolate function key creates a new voice based on the zone selection. Pressing OK after defining a new zone, you will be asked if you wish to “Create new voices based on selection range?”. If you selected a subset of the current voice range, the voice will be split if you answer Yes. If you extend the range of the current voice, the range will be extended by answering Yes. Answering No selects the voices without changing them.
