PLAYING VOICES - THE VOICE MODE The Voice mode features 270 authentic voices (including 128 General MIDI voices), plus 15 special drum kits - all of which have been created with Yamaha's sophisticated AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation system. The Voice mode gives you many powerful and versatile tools for playing and enhancing these Voices. The voices are divided into various instrument categories, all of which are printed on the panel for convenience. For a complete list of the available voices, see page 104. The Voice mode is actually divided into three separate modes: Main, Dual and Split. In the Main Voice mode (see page 25), you can play a single voice over the entire range of the keyboard. The Dual Voice mode (page 29) allows you to "layer" two different voices together for rich, complex sounds. The Split Voice mode (page 31) lets you set up two different voices for playing from separate sections of the keyboard. The DJX includes special Drum Kit voices - #141 - #155 - that let you play various drum and percussion sounds from the keyboard. (Refer to the Drum Kit Voice chart on page 26.) Symbols are also printed above the keyboard, conveniently indicating which sounds are played from which keys. The DJX also has a special "Sampled" voice #284, to which your own original samples can be recorded. (See page 69.) 1 Select the Voice mode.
