Sound. Use the [PAGE] buttons to select parameters within this
function to edit.
Turning Sounds On and Off
Button: [EDIT] [40 VOICE]
Page: 1
Parameter: Snd Enable (ON or OFF)
This enables or disables the selected sound. When a Sound is disabled,
“snd” will appear in lowercase in the display. When enabled, “SND” will

you’re not using. Turning Sounds off is also a convenient way to isolate a
particular sound you are editing.
