Chapter 2 Trying It Out

First Try

Trying Some Voices

The VP1’s internal memory comes loaded with 64 voices: four banks (A to D) of 16

voices each. The next procedure illustrates the various methods for switching to

different voices. Try playing a few of the voices to see how they sound. When you

select a voice, the voice’s category and name appear in large letters at the center of the

display.

Procedure

1. Press bank button

▼The LED above the button begins flashing.

2. Press program button

▼The Quick Edit panel lights up briefly. The LCD then changes to the display

illustrated below — indicating that the selected voice is B02, “Jody.”

Now try selecting other voices by pressing the appropriate bank button

(

) followed by the appropriate program button. If you are

switching between voices in the same bank, you do not need to press the bank

button.

3. Press the

INC/YES

button.

▼The voice number increases by 1.

In the same way, pressing the

DEC/NO

decreases the voice number by 1. Notice

that the

INC/YES

and

DEC/NO

buttons are not restricted by bank boundaries —

pressing

INC/YES

when the current voice is A16, for example, switches the

voice to B1. The

INC/YES

and

DEC/NO

buttons for switching between nearby

voices.

4. Turn the dial.

Turn the dial clockwise to continuously increment the voice number, or

counterclockwise to decrement the number.

Now spend some time practicing the different voice-selection methods and

familiarizing yourself with the sounds of some of the voices.

FYI

• Some voices display a comment window when you first switch into them. You can close the

window by pressing the

EXIT

button, and reopen it by pressing the

ENTER

button. (➝

REFERENCE: 1-4)

• The bottom line of the LCD displays a menu of the functions accessible from the current

screen (➝ REFERENCE: 1-3, 1-9)
