Selecting and Playing Sounds

Selecting Voices

The AT-20S is able to produce the sounds of various instruments. These sounds are called “Voices” (or tones). It is very easy to select voices.

About the Voices and Parts

The AT-20S has two keyboards and one Pedalboard, as shown below.

From top to bottom these are called the “Upper Keyboard,” “Lower Keyboard,” and “Pedalboard.”

Pedalboard

The Upper Keyboard and Lower Keyboard each have two parts: “Organ,” “Orchestral.” You can select one voice for each part, meaning that it is possible to layer up to two voic- es on each keyboard and play them simultaneously.

The voice of the “Solo” part can be layered on the Upper keyboard.

The Pedalboard has the part: “Pedal.”
