The following is

preferred procedure for editing an overall voice mix:-

Start by assigning basic (GM) voices to each track/part

Where the basic voice is unsatisfactory, try voices from the corresponding patch number in the

higher XG banks.

Where a voice is still unsatisfactory perform some editing:-

Using the Part Filter parameters RES and CUTOFF have the greatest impact on voice

character

Using Part AMP EG parameters together with V.SEN and V.OFF have the greatest effect

on voice dynamics.

Only use other Part parameters where special voice effects are required e.g. vibrato or

detuning.

Adjust part volume levels to balance the overall mix (this is best achieved using the overview bars

of the central display panel)

Adjust the Part pan positions to give the song a feeling of space (again this is best performed

from the central display panel).

Adjust the Reverb and Chorus effect unit settings in combination with the Part REV and CHOR

controls to give the song a feeling of ambience. Note you should first determine the basic effect

required and then perform fine tuning using the effect parameters)

Use Variation effect settings to further alter ambience or add special effects to particular parts

(note you should use Variation is SYStem mode unless you later wish to perform real time

changes to the effect character using controller messages - see

Understanding The Effect Unit

Note you can always return a parameter highlighted in yellow to its default setting by right clicking

on the control

Add Dynamics

Once you have recorded your song tracks and edited the sounds to your liking, you may consider adding

some real-time dynamic edits. e.g. filter sweeps, crescendos, drum tunings etc.

There are several possible ways to add such effects:-

Sequencer

Use the facilities of your sequencer to add the relevant controller/Sysex messages. This can be tedious and

depends greatly on the capabilities of your sequencer. Hence this will not be discussed further here.

External Controllers

Use XGedit to set up external midi controllers such that you can record dynamics using your external

equipment (e.g. Mod/Pitch Wheels, Breath Controller, Foot Pedals). See

Controllers

Record XGedit output directly to your Sequencer

Record the Output of XGedit in real-time to your sequencer. This can be achieved by setting up your midi

system as described in

Dual Mode With Record

Using Dual Mode with Record can be very powerful, but care should be taken to follow the guidelines

described below:-
