Playing the Keyboard (in the Voice Play mode)

The Voice Play mode is where you select and play the instrument sounds (voices) of this synthesizer.

Internally, there are two Voice Types: Normal Voices and Drum Voices. Normal Voices are mainly pitched musical instrument-type 
sounds that can be played over the range of the keyboard. Drum Voices are mainly percussion/drum sounds that are assigned 
to individual notes on the keyboard. In this section, we’ll show you how to select a Normal Voice.
You can select the desired Voice from various Voice Banks (Preset 1~6, User 1~2, GM preset, Plug-in 1~3) as shown below. 

In this condition, playing the keyboard sounds the Voice indicated in the display. 
The parameters shown in the Voice Play mode are briefly explained below.

n Keep in mind that the example displays shown in this manual are for instruction purposes only, and the contents (for example, the Voice name here) may 

differ slightly from those on your instrument.
