Voices and Waveform
You can play the Waveform by assigning it to a Voice then
playing the keyboard with that Voice. You can assign the
Waveform to an Element of the Voice in the Voice Element
Edit mode (page 69). The Voice Edit mode lets you assign
the Waveform you’ve created with the Sampling function to
the edited Element, just as you would any of the preset
Waveforms included on the instrument.

Keep in mind that you can assign the User Voices created in
the Sampling mode entered from the Voice/Performance mode
to Mixing parts of the Song/Pattern. You can also assign the
Waveforms created in the Sampling mode entered from the
Song/Pattern mode to Elements of the Voice in the Voice Edit
mode.
