Editing a Normal Voice
“Editing” refers to the process of creating a Voice by changing the parameters that make up the Voice. This can be done in
Voice Edit, a sub mode within the Voice mode. To enter the Voice Edit mode, press the [VOICE] button to first call up the
Voice mode, then press the [EDIT] button.
Common Edit and Element Edit
A Normal Voice, which contains pitched musical
instrument-type sounds that can be played over the range
of the keyboard, can consist of up to eight Elements. There
are two types of Normal Voice Edit displays: those for
Common Edit to edit the settings common to all Elements,
and those for Element Edit to edit individual Elements.

which the MOTIF XS is also connected. Keep in mind that
edited Voice data is stored to internal User memory (Flash
ROM) and is maintained even when turning the power off.
As such it is not necessary to save the data to an external
device; however, we still recommend that you save or
archive all important data to an external device. Refer to
page 278 for details.
