Selecting Banks
As you learned in “About Parts, Voices, and Banks” above, the MU15’s 676
Voices are organized into Banks of 128 Voices each. Here, we’ll see how to
select Voices of different Banks.
Operation
Z
Select the desired Part.
Do this in the normal way, by using the PART buttons.
X
Select the desired Voice.
Do this in the normal way, by using the VALUE buttons.
In general, the Voice Banks feature variations on the basic Voices —
for example, the “PercOrgn” Voice has several similar sounding
organ Voices at the same Voice number, but in different Banks.
That’s why it’s a good idea to decide which type of Voice you want,
and then call up different Banks to select a specific Voice variation.
C
Simultaneously hold down the XG BANK button and
press one of the VALUE buttons.
Holding down the XG BANK button and pressing the VALUE
/YES
button steps up through Bank numbers while doing the same with
the VALUE
/NO button steps down through the numbers.
Notice that the Bank numbers jump to seemingly random values.
For example, if you’ve selected Voice number 005 “E.Piano1,”
holding down the XG BANK button and pressing the VALUE
/YES
button will step through the following Banks:
GrndPnoK
Bank number. (This changes to the
Voice number as soon as the XG
BANK button is released.)
