Your keyboard contains 100 vivid and realistic voices — instrument or percussion sounds — created by Yama­
ha’s time-proven AWM tone generation technology. Select a voice you like and try playing.
T To select and play a voice:
1. If the VOICE indicator is not lit, press the VOICE/STYLE
(/SOUND EFFECT) button once or twice so that it lights.
The number of the currently selected voice will appear on the MULTI
DISPLAY when the VOICE indicator is lit.
2. Choose one of the 100 voices from the VOICE list on the panel.
3. Enter the voice number using the NUMERIC SELECTION but­
tons.
To select voice number 03 (HARPSICHORD), for example, first press 0
then 3. The number “03” should then appear on the MULTI DISPLAY.
The -I- and - SELECTION buttons can also be used to increase or de­
crease the current voice number. Holding down either button increases or
decreases the voice number continuously.
4. Play one or more keys on the keyboard to hear the selected ^
voice.

Keyboard Percussion
The keyboard keys can be used to play the sounds of drum and percussion instruments. Voice numbers 97 (TIM­
PANI) and 98 (STEEL DRUM) can be played like normal voices. Voice number 99 (LATIN PERC), however,
divides the keyboard into five different instruments, and voice number 00 (DRUM KIT) provides a different
drum or percussion instrument for each key, 61 sounds in all.
