Normal Voices & Drum Voices

There are two Voice types: Normal Voices and Drum Voices. Normal Voices are mainly pitched instrument sounds

that can be played over the range of the keyboard. Drum Voices are mainly percussion/drum sounds that are

assigned to individual notes on the keyboard. The Drum Voices also include special sound effects (SFX Kit).

n The sound-to-key assignments for the Kit are ﬁxed and cannot be changed.

n You can select whether each Part uses a Normal Voice or a Drum Voice in the Part Mode PAGE (MULTI PART EDIT PAGE 9).

drumS1/2 (Drum Setup 1/2)

Used to play commercially available song data (switches automatically).

n The part set to a setting other than “norm” is called a Drum Part.

n If you’ve edited a drum kit in Drum Voice Edit mode and you wish to use that kit, set this to “drum.”

n When an XG System On message is received from an external sequencer, this is automatically set to “drumS1.” In order to use the

settings made in Drum Voice Edit, record the appropriate message in the song data (when Part Mode is set to Drum). Refer to the

MIDI Data Format section in the separate Data List.
