4 Voice Controls and Effects
The Electone is equipped with two general kinds of functions that can be used to change the sound of the
voices: Voice Controls and Effects.
Voice controls are used to change various aspects of the voices, such as the touch sensitivity, volume,
octave (footage), vibrato, pan setting and brilliance. The voice controls, as well as the selection of certain
effects, are provided in the Voice Condition pages, described below.
Effects are an extremely versatile set of tools through which you can enhance the sound of the voices. They
include: Reverb, Sustain, Tremolo, Symphonic, Delay, Flanger and Distortion. Effect settings are controlled
from the Reverb, Sustain, Tremolo and Effect Set pages.
Each voice has been given certain factory-preset effect settings to best enhance its sound. However, if you
wish, you can change the sound to suit your preferences by using the controls described in this section.
The chart below shows the various voice controls and effects for the individual voice sections. Available
functions are indicated by circles.
To change the settings and add the effects, display the appropriate page:
1. Voice Condition page by pressing the panel voice button twice
(or pressing the Data Control button corresponding to the
selected voice).
2. Effect Set page by pressing the EFFECT SET button in the
DISPLAY SELECT.
3. Reverb, Sustain or Tremolo page by pressing the corresponding
panel button.
