previously selected with the BANK parameter, explained above.
Settings:

using an external MIDI device, subtract a value of "1" from the
Program number to match the MIDI Program Change number.

Normal Voices and Drum Voices
The available voices are divided into two groups: normal voices
and drum voices. In Multi Play mode you can select and play both
normal and drum voices.
In general a "normal" voice is simply a pitched voice which can be
played on a musical scale from low to high, such as a piano or
trumpet. In Multi Play mode there are 480 XG normal voices.
A "drum" voice is a complete set of drum and other percussion
sounds, each sound having a fixed pitch. Each sound is assigned
to a specific MIDI Note number which also corresponds to a key on
a MIDI keyboard. In Multi Play mode there are 11 XG drum voices.
For a list of the drum and percussion sound assignments to each
key, see the XG Drum Voice List in the "Data List" book.
TG300B Mode
There are two tone generator modes: XG mode and TG300B
mode. Normally the CS1x plays in XG mode. However, it
automatically recognizes which mode to select based on incoming
MIDI data, i.e., through MIDI System Exclusive messages that you
can program using an external MIDI sequencer.
In TG300B mode the CS1x will play multitimbral music data created
for TG300B-compatible tone generators. TG300B mode also
provides compatibility with the GM System Level1 format.
In TG300B mode the CS1x can:
• Play up to 16 Parts.
• Choose from 579 Normal Voices and 10 Drum Voices.
■ VOLUME
This sets the volume of each Part. Different volume levels can be
set for each Part.
Settings:
0~127
