Quick Guide Playing the Voices The MX49/MX61 consists of 16 Parts. Voices, which are the basic sounds and building blocks of the MX49/MX61, are assigned to each Part. After the instrument is turned on, the top display which appears shows the Voices of only Parts 1 and 2. With the default settings, playing the keyboard will sound only the Voice for Part 1. Select the desired Voice from the various preset Voices and play it.
