Quick Guide

Voice Play mode
The Voice Play mode is where you select and play the instrument sounds (voices) of this synthesizer.
Selecting a Normal Voice
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 – 4, User 1 – 2, GM preset) as shown.
