Selecting Different Sounds

The Voice Select buttons are used together with the Bank button to change the currently selected voice.

Under the Voice Select buttons are two rows of voice names (a top row and a bottom row). When the Bank button is off (not lit), the voice select buttons may be used to activate any of the voices listed on the top row (Bank A). When the Bank button is lit, voices from the bottom row (Bank B) may be selected.

In either case, the name of the currently selected voice will be shown on the LCD.

‣Example of how to use the Voice Select buttons and the Bank button:
