new voice, then select "Paste" from the "Edit" window (  -V). The shift-click technique can be
used to select and copy the parameters from several parameter groups at the same time.
5. Special Edit Window Buttons
5-1. MI (Memory In) and MR (Memory Recall)
When the MI (Memory In) button in the upper right corner of the edit window is pressed, the
current state of the voice is stored in a temporary buffer. This state can then be recalled at
any time by pressing the MR (Memory Recall) button. This function facilitates efficient
programming by allowing a voice to be created in stages. The initial state of a voice selected
for editing is stored in the temporary buffer when the edit window is first opened.
5-2. Tuning
Press the "Tune" button in the upper section of the element edit window to open the tuning
window, allowing element tuning while editing. Element re-tuning often becomes necessary
when any of the "<Instrument>" page parameters are edited or the "<Envelope>" page "Pressure
EG/Sustain Level" parameter is modified.
For effective tuning select "Tune 1 key" from the "Tuning Menu", and tune each key individually
while monitoring the sound by pressing the "Hold" button at the bottom of the window. The
"Auto Tuning" feature is convenient, but is not always as accurate as the 1-key method since
several notes are tuned at the same time.
Since tuning in the "physical modeling" environment corresponds to the fundamental
"Pipe/String Length" parameter, it must be done carefully or the entire instrument will end up
out of tune. When using "Detune" or related parameters, use the waveform button in the upper
left corner of the window to select "50 cents", then re-tune at 50 cents higher pitch. The
Expert Editor automatically sends "+50 cents" system data to the connected VL synthesizer at
this point.
When tuning set "Element Detune", "Random Pitch", and related parameters to "0", and make
sure that the synthesizer's pitch bend wheel is set to its center position. It is also a good idea
to bypass all effects. Make sure that breath control pressure is maximum during the actual
tuning process. The "Software Keyboard", described later, is particularly handy for tuning.
The "Hold" button transmits note-on messages from the Expert Editor, with the velocity value
fixed at 127 (maximum).
When tuning is finished press the "GO" button. If the results aren't satisfactory, press the
"Cancel" button to discard all tuning changes. An "Undo" button is also available so you can
"back up" if a mistake is made.
The results of the tuning process end up in the "Pipe Length"/"String Length" parameter group
at the bottom of the "<Instrument>" page. Using the parameter group copy function described in
"4-7. Parameter Group Copy", you can simultaneously copy all the tuning data to another voice
which uses the same "<Instrument>" and "Pressure EG/Sustain Level" parameters.
