PLAYING VOICES — TH E VOICE MODE
The Voice mode features 270 authentic voices (including 128 General MIDI
voices), plus 15 special drum kits — all of which have been created with
Yamaha’s sophisticated AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation system.
The Voice mode gives you many powerful and versatile tools for playing and
enhancing these Voices.
The voices are divided into various instrument
categories, all of which are printed on the panel
for convenience. For a complete list of the
available voices, see page 104.
The Voice mode is actually divided into three
separate modes: Main, Dual and Split. In the
Main Voice mode (see page 25), you can play a
single voice over the entire range of the key-
board. The Dual Voice mode (page 29) allows
you to “layer” two different voices together for
rich, complex sounds. The Split Voice mode
(page 31) lets you set up two different voices for
playing from separate sections of the keyboard.
The DJX includes special Drum Kit voices —
#141 - #155 — that let you play various drum
and percussion sounds from the keyboard.
(Refer to the Drum Kit Voice chart on page 26.)
Symbols are also printed above the keyboard,
conveniently indicating which sounds are played
from which keys.
The DJX also has a special “Sampled” voice
#284, to which your own original samples can
be recorded. (See page 69.)
