CARD VOICE MEMORY
CARD memory voice numbers begin with the letter “C”. The CARD
memory is one or two optional Yamaha MCD64 Memory Card (or pre-pro-
grammed voice cards) plugged into the TG500 DATA 1 and/or DATA 2 slot.
Memory cards are convenient for external storage and transportation of voices
you or others create. You can also store sets of related voices on different
memory cards. An MCD64 Memory Card holds four banks of 64 voices each
— a total of 256 voices per card. Each card is also divided into two banks,
each holding two voice banks of 64 voices each. The card bank to be accessed
(1 or 2) must be selected via the UTILITY mode “4:Card” function “4-1:Bank”
parameter (page 233). Thus, 128 of the 256 voices stored on a card can be
accessed at a time.
