Selecting an XG Voice............................................

XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 format, and has been developed by Yamaha 
specifically to provide more voices and variations, as well as greater expressive control over voices 
and effects, and to ensure compatibility of data well into the future. To call up the XG voices of a 
certain voice category, simply select a voice category while pressing the [XG] button.

Selecting a Voice/Style/Song/Reg.Memory via PC Keyboard ..

By connecting a standard PC/AT type keyboard to the PC keyboard terminal on the back of the 
9000, you’ll be able to select Voices, Styles, Songs and Registration Memory by number.

Program Change Display........................................

This function shows the MIDI bank select and program change numbers that correspond to each of 
the voices - convenient when using a PC-based sequencer. To turn this function on, press the 
[FUNCTION] button and then select the UTILITY. Use the LCD buttons to access and turn on the 
DISPLAY MIDI BANK & PC# setting.
