VOICE Setting Area (VCE) VCE1 Select Voice VCE1 Sn001:OakCustom On the Select Voice page (VCE1), you can select the preset voice, wave, or pattern that will be played when the specified pad is struck. Alternatively, you can select a MIDI note to be played when a pad is struck, and then assign a voice to that MIDI note (see page 34). The applicable parameter-setting pages, parameters, and settings in the VOICE area will depend on whether a pad number or MIDI note number is specified. NOTE • Certain parameters have no effect when a pattern or a MIDI note number has been assigned to the pad in question. Their settings will be displayed as "---" and modification will not be possible.
