Voice Types
The buttons of the VOICE section (excepting USER DRIVE) are used to call up the relevant voice selection (Open/Save) display
for the Preset drive. Pressing one of the buttons calls up the voice selection display corresponding to the selected category, and
the last selected voice in the category is automatically called up. Five of these voice categories (below) are slightly different from
the others and deserve special explanation.
■ Organ Flutes Voices............................................................................................
Press the [ORGAN FLUTES] button to call up the Open/Save display for selecting among
the special organ voices. You can also use the Voice Set features (displayed as FOOTAGE)
to create your own original organ sounds.
Just as on a traditional organ, you can create your own sounds by adjusting the levels of
the flute footages.
■ Percussion/Drum Kit Voices............................................................................
When one of the Drum Kit or SFX Kit voices in the [PERC./DRUM KIT] group is
selected, you can play various drums and percussion instruments or SFX (sound effects)
sounds on the keyboard. The drum and percussion instruments played by the various keys
are marked by symbols below the keys. Some of the instruments in the different drum kit
voices sound different even though they have the same name, while others are essentially
the same.
See the separate Data List for a complete listing of the Drum Kit and SFX Kit assign-
ments.
■ GM&XG Voices and GM2 Voices ....................................................................
You can select the GM/XG/GM2 voices (page 212) directly via panel operations. Press
one of the VOICE buttons to call up the Open/Save display for voices, then press the [UP]
LCD button (upper [8] button) and call up the P2 page containing the “GM&XG” folder
and the “GM2” folder.
■ Custom Voices ......................................................................................................
Your original voices created by using the Voice Creator function (page 94) or with the
Voice Editor software (pages 66, 111) can be saved to the Preset drive as Custom voice
data. Custom Voices saved to the Preset drive can be called up via the [CUSTOM VOICE]
button.
The [USER DRIVE] button lets you directly
access those voices saved to drives other
than the Preset drive. Press this button and
the voice last selected from the User drive or
disk drive will be called up, along with the
appropriate Open/Save display.
