MegaVoice These Voices make special use of velocity switching. Each velocity range (the measure of your playing strength) has a completely different sound. For example, a guitar MegaVoice includes the sounds of various performance techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having those sounds would be called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the desired effect. However, now with MegaVoices, a convincing guitar part can be played with just a single Voice, using specific velocity values to play the desired sounds. Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise velocities need to play the sounds, they're not intended for playing from the keyboard. They are, however, very useful and convenient when creating MIDI data-espe- cially when you want to avoid using several different Voices just for a single instrument part. The MegaVoices are in the "MegaVoices" folder in the Voice Selection display. 1 For instructions on selecting MegaVoices, refer to the "Selecting GM&XG or Other Voices" on page 104. Voices NOTE S.Art! and MegaVoices are not compatible with other instrument models. For this reason, any Song or Style you've created on this instrument using these Voices will not sound properly when played back on the instruments which do not have these types of Voices. NOTE S.Art! and MegaVoices sound differently depending on keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you turn on the [HARMONY/ARPEGGIO] button, change the transpose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result. For a list of preset Voices of this instrument, refer to the "Voice List" in the Data List on the website. PSR-A3000 Owner's Manual 103
