TIP You can also switch between voices in the same group by pressing a voice group button repeatedly. TIP To learn characteristics of the voices, listen to demo songs for each voice group (page 22). Refer to "Preset Voice List" on page 109 for more information on characteristics of each preset voice. TIP You can control the loudness of a voice by how hard you play the keyboard, although different playing styles (touch sensitivities) have little or no effect with the sound of certain musical instruments. Refer to "Preset Voice List" on page 109. TIP XG is a major enhancement of the GM System level 1 format, and was developed by Yamaha specially to provide more voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over voices and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future. TIP If you select XG and then simultaneously press the VARIATION [w][v] buttons, the XG voice select screen will appear.
