JOB #01: VOICE ASSIGN
FUNCTION To assign voices to instrument keys.
Each output channel on the RX5 corresponds to a pair of instrument keys (for example:
channel 1 corresponds to keys А and М). All voices are factory-preset to output channels
2
(refer to the Key Assign chart in THE INSTRUMENTS chapter). So when you select a
key, it will have five or six voices (two internal voices, one copied voice, and two orthree
cartridge voices) from which you can select. The same voices will be available at the
other key of the same pair of keys.
* You can assign voices to keys other than those shown in the Key Assign chart,
enabling you tò set any voice in any stereo position, when using the RX5's stereo
outputs. Refer to KEY ASSIGN JOB #09 to see how to re-assign Internal voices to
any key. Refer to KEY ASSIGN JOB #06 to see how to re-assign Internal and
Cartridge voices to any key.
The following chart shows all the possibilities of voice/output assign
