TERMINOLOGY

Voice:

On the instrument, the term

“voice” means “instrument

sound.”

You can control the loudness of a

voice by adjusting the force with

which you strike the keys,

although different playing styles

(touch sensitivities) have little or

no effect with certain musical

instruments.

Refer to “Preset Voice List” on

page 57.

If you select the voice via the

[STRINGS/OTHERS] button then

press another VOICE button, the

voice last selected via the

[STRINGS/OTHERS] button will

be maintained. In other words,

pressing the [STRINGS/OTH-

ERS] button again calls up the

last selected voice.
