Basics Section Quick Guide Reference Voices & Multis Memory Structure A Voice is a single instrument sound, created by using the Elements and setting various parameters. In the Voice Play mode, you can select and play any of these Voices. In the Multi Play mode, you assign a different Voice to each part and use a sequencer to play several Voices simultaneously. Voices are stored in the internal memory (PRESET, USER, GM2/XG). Multis are stored in the internal memory (USER).
