Playing the Keyboard with an
Ensemble Voice
The Disklavier's [VOICE] button lets you assign a voice from the internal XG tone generator to
accompany the piano while you play. You will hear in unison the piano sound coming from the Disklavier
and an Ensemble voice produced by the internal XG tone generator. This is sometimes referred to as voice
layering or unison.
The internal XG tone generator offers 480 instrumental voices (128 basic voices) and 11 drum kits for
playing the keyboard.
