Selecting and Playing Sounds
Selecting Voices
The AT-5 is able to produce the sounds of various instruments. These
sounds are called “Voices” (or tones). It is very easy to select voices.
■ Switching the Keyboard Settings
With the AT-5, you can have the Upper voice played over the entire
keyboard, or split the keyboard into an Upper part and a Lower part and
have a different voice played in each. Additionally, you can use the lower
register as the part for the automatic accompaniment chord recognition, and
the upper register for performing melody.
