AN+FDSP Voices (EX5 and EX5R only)
AN+FDSP voices can have 1 AN element and from 1 to 3 FDSP elements. The FDSP stage can be
applied to any or all of the AWM elements used, as required.
Polyphony
The maximum polyphony of the EX5 and EX5R is 126 notes, and the maximum polyphony of the
EX7 is 64 notes. Full polyphony, however, is not available for all voice types. The chart below lists the
maximum polyphony for each voice type.
Editing Control
The EX5, EX5R, and EX7 provide a number of tools and techniques to facilitate voice editing. Some
of the more important methods are discussed below.
■ Element Selection
When editing a multi-element voice, you will obviously need to select the specific element you
want to edit. On all models this can be done via the edit display, cursor keys and data entry
dial/keys. The EX5 and EX7 additionally allow element selection via BANK select keys [1] through
[4] (labelled “ELEMENT SELECT), corresponding to elements 1 through 4. In the VOICE EDIT
mode pressing any of these keys will select the corresponding element for editing. The currently
selected element is indicated by an inverse element number on the left side of the edit display, and
by a lit indicator above the corresponding ELEMENT SELECT key. Any element can be selected
and enabled as required in the OSC page, but only elements which are on can be selected when any
other editing page is showing. Only one element can be selected at a time.
