SONG VOICE MEMORY
The Song Voice Memory function lets you manage Song voice memory banks by
copying an entire bank of normal and drum voices from the Internal, Song (01 ~ 16), GM
and Preset voice banks to the Song voice memory bank of the currently selected song.
(NOTE: You can also copy from the External preset voice bank if the optional Expansion
Wave/Voice Board is installed.)
Each internal song multi (01 ~ 16) can accomodate a Song voice memory bank that
will hold 128 normal and 2 drum voices. These Song voices are exclusive to each song
multi, and can be accessed by the currently selected multi. (Song voices from other multis
cannot be accessed from within the currently selected multi).
When the Song voice bank for the currently selected multi is empty, whenever a Song
voice is selected, it will display ten asterisks where the song name should appear, and no
sound will be produced when the W5/W7 s keyboard is played, or if incoming MIDI note
messages are being received by the particular track.
NOTE: One of the most useful ways to
manage Song voices is to first arrange
the voices you want in the Internal voice
bank, using the Store Voice function (see
Store Mode, page 130). Then copy the
Internal voice bank to the currently
selected Song voice bank using the Utility
Modes Song Voice Memory function.
COPYING TO SONG VOICE MEMORY - After
designating the voice bank to copy from, press ENTER.
The W5/W7 will give you a chance to change your
mind, asking Are You Sure? Press DEC to abort the
operation, or INC to copy the voice bank. The Execut-
ing message will appear, indicating that the copying
operation is underway. When finished, the message will
change to Completed!
NOTE: If the currently selected multis Song voice bank is
empty, the copying process will commence after memory space
has been allocated. If the currently selected multis Song voice
bank already has voices in it, then the copying process will begin
after deleting the existing Song voices.
NOTE: As with song sequence data in a multi, voice data in the
Song voice bank memory will not be retained when the power is
turned off; therefore, you must
always save your important Song
voice data to floppy disks before turning the power off.
● ACCESSING SONG VOICE MEMORY

Mode main menu screen, position the cursor over

song. (For more information about selecting songs, see Song Mode,
