SOUND EFFECTS

There are three ways to select voices: 1) directly entering the voice number with the numeric keypad, 2) using the +/- keys to step up and down through the voices, or 3) pressing the VOICE button to advance through the voice numbers.

Using the numeric keypad

Enter the digits of the voice number as indicated on the panel. For ex- ample, to select voice #42, press “4” on the numeric keypad, then “2.”

STYLE

ACMP ON

All two-digit voice numbers can be selected without entering an initial “0.” However, when selecting voice numbers 1 - 23, the PortaTone pauses briefly before actually calling up the voice. (This pause allows for entering three- digit voice numbers, such as “235.” Entering the numbers “2” then “4” immediately calls up voice #24, since there are no voices #240 or higher.)

If you want to immediately call up voices #1 - #23, enter one or two zeros before the number; for example, select voice #9 by pressing “0,” “0,” then “9.” Pressing only “0” does not change the voice.
