Play the selected voice.

To change to another voice, repeat step 2 above.

If the Song or Style mode is active in the background (indi-

cated by a C-shaped bar in the display), you can also play

songs or styles, respectively, in the Voice mode by simply

pressing the START/STOP (>/■) button. The last selected

song or style will be played.

NOTE:

The PortaTone is polyphonic up to a

maximum of 16 notes. (Depending on

the voice selected — such as split voices

and dual voices — fewer notes may be

available.) This includes not only the

notes played from the keyboard, but also

the notes in a style pattern, the notes

played by a Pad (page 40), and so on.

Thus, if you play too many notes at one

time, some may not sound and/or others

may be cancelled.

Harmony voices (#61 - #70) automatically add a

one-, two- or three-note harmony to the origi-

nal voice. Split voices (#71 - #80) feature two

separate voices, each playable from opposite

sections of the keyboard — the lower voice

playable up to B2 and the upper voice from C3

(middle C). Echo voices (#81 - #90) provide an

echo effect that adds delayed repeats to the

original voice. Dual voices (#91 - #93) blend

two voices together for a rich, layered sound.

Sustain voices (#94 - #99) adds a slow, natural

decay.

Also included are special Percussion voices —

#90 (with Echo) and #100 — that let you play

various drum and percussion sounds from the

keyboard. (Refer to the Percussion Voice chart

below.) Symbols are also printed above the

keyboard, conveniently indicating which sounds

are played from which keys.

NOTE: About the Harmony voices

Since Harmony voices are designed to automatically play two

or more notes with the notes you play on the keyboard, only

one note can be played on the keyboard at a time. If several

notes are played together, only the last note or highest note

played will be used for the harmony effect.

The type of harmony used depends on the

particular voice that is selected.
