Drums Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. SFX Various special effect sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. Organ Flutes! This authentic organ Voice lets you use the Voice Set to adjust the various footages and craft your own original organ sounds. See page 16 for details. MegaVoice These Voices make special use of velocity switching. Normal voices use velocity switching, too - to change the sound quality and/or level of a voice according to how strongly or softly you play it. This makes the voice sound authentic and natural. With MegaVoices, however, each velocity range (the measure of your playing strength) has a 2 completely different sound. For example, a guitar MegaVoice includes the sounds of various performance techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having those sounds would be called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the desired effect. However, now with MegaVoices, a convincing guitar part can be played with just a single Voice, using specific velocity values to play the desired sounds. Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise velocities need to play the sounds, they're not intended for playing from the keyboard. They are, however, very useful and convenient when creating MIDI data - especially when you want to avoid using several different Voices just for a single instrument part. Actual sound maps for the MegaVoices are given in the separate Data List booklet that comes with your instrument. Voices - Playing the Keyboard - NOTE MegaVoices are not compatible with other models even though the model may have those types of Voices installed. Any Song or Style data you've created on the instrument using these Voices will not sound properly when played back on other instruments. NOTE MegaVoices sound differently depending on the keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you apply a HARMONY/ ECHO effect, change the transpose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result. MEGAEnhancer - Converting MIDI Songs to Songs for MegaVoice playing - MEGAEnhancer allows conversion of conventional XG/GM song data to song data optimized for use with the MegaVoice feature on a compatible instrument or tone generator. MEGAEnhancer makes MIDI guitar and bass tracks come to life, with enhanced realism and expression. MEGAEnhancer can be downloaded from the Internet.
