Voices
As mentioned in the section “The MU15 — What It Is and What It
Can Do,” the MU15 is capable of playing sixteen different instru-
ment sounds at the same time. Each instrument sound is called a
“Voice,” and the MU15 has 676 different Normal Voices, as well as
21 Drum Voices.
Let’s say, for example, you have a song in which you want to use the
following sixteen Voices:
Parts
For these Voices to be used simultaneously, they must be assigned
to different “Parts.” These correspond exactly to the parts of a song
or the elements of a band, such as bass, guitar, and drums.
Obviously, each Part can have its own Voice setting, but it can also
have independent settings for other aspects of the sound as well, as
we’ll see later.
NOTE
•
Part 10 is normally reserved for Drum Voices, although this can be
changed. (Page 28.)
