Voice select • This parameter determines whether each phrase on the track uses its own voice, or whether all phrases on the track use the voice selected at this Mixer page. • If you set the value to Phr (Phrase), then each phrase is produced in its own voice, and the mixer's voice settings (voice category, program-number, and bank-number settings) are disabled - and are blanked out on the screen. • If you set the value to Pat (Pattern), then all phrases on the track are produced using voice selected by the mixer's voicecategory, program-number, and bank-number settings (see below). 0101 1101 Phr, Pat 3. Pattern Voice submode 6. Voice category • This value selects the general voice category, as given by the bank-select MSB (the most significant byte of the twobyte bank value). Available choices are as follows. • The icon selects the "normal voice" category (MSB 000). • The icon selects the "SFX voice" category (MSB 064). (Note that SFX is an acronym for "sound effects".) Each voice in this category produces a single effect-type sound over the full range of the keyboard, with different keys producing the sound in different pitches (as with a normal voice). • The icon selects the "SFX kit" category (MSB 126). Each voice in this category provides a full range of effecttype sounds, with a different sound assigned to each key of 5 the keyboard (as with a drum voice). • The icon selects the "drum voice" category. Each voice in this category consists of a "drum kit" of percussion sounds. This gives you access to multiple drum kits - so that you can assign a different kit to each of your drum tracks. • The icon selects the special "drum setup-3" category. This is a special category that allows you to implement noteby-note editing for any one of your drum kits. (You edit the sound using the Drum-Setup Edit screen; see page 235.) The category consists of a single voice only (as selected and edited by you); all tracks set to this category will therefore produce the same voice. 0101 1101 Off Normal Voice SFX Voice SFX Kit Drum Voice Drum setup-3 (No selection) Chapter 5.
