Normal Voices and Drum Voices The available voices are divided into two groups: normal voices and drum voices. In Multi Play mode you can select and play both normal and drum voices. In general a "normal" voice is simply a pitched voice which can be played on a musical scale from low to high, such as a piano or trumpet. In Multi Play mode there are 480 XG normal voices. A "drum" voice is a complete set of drum and other percussion sounds, each sound having a fixed pitch. Each sound is assigned to a specific MIDI Note number which also corresponds to a key on a MIDI keyboard. In Multi Play mode there are 11 XG drum voices. For a list of the drum and percussion sound assignments to each key, see the XG Drum Voice List in the "Data List" book. TG300B Mode There are two tone generator modes: XG mode and TG300B mode. Normally the CS1x plays in XG mode. However, it automatically recognizes which mode to select based on incoming MIDI data, i.e., through MIDI System Exclusive messages that you can program using an external MIDI sequencer. In TG300B mode the CS1x will play multitimbral music data created for TG300B-compatible tone generators. TG300B mode also provides compatibility with the GM System Level1 format. In TG300B mode the CS1x can: • Play up to 16 Parts. • Choose from 579 Normal Voices and 10 Drum Voices. s VOLUME This sets the volume of each Part. Different volume levels can be set for each Part. Settings: 0~127 Settings: 1~128 NOTE Note that the Program numbers here are 1~128 and the MIDI Program Change numbers are 0~127. When switching programs using an external MIDI device, subtract a value of "1" from the Program number to match the MIDI Program Change number. NOTE For more information about Banks and Programs (voices), see the XG Voice List in the "Data List" book. 37
