Voices & Multis
Overview of Voice/Element/Multi
Each Voice can consist of up to four Elements. Each Element itself is a high-quality waveform or instrument sound.
Voice & Element
Each Voice can consist of up to four Elements. Elements are made from waveforms, and the quality of the Elements
is high enough that each can be used on its own as a voice. Since you can combine up to four Elements together in a
voice, highly expressive and richly textured sounds are possible. You can also split different instrument sounds
across the keyboard to be playable separately with your left and right hands — without having to specially set up a
Multi program (page 42).
Multi
A Multi consists of up to 16 Parts, each of which can play a Normal Voice or Drum Voice Part. By assigning different
Voices and MIDI channels to each part, and by using a sequencer or computer for song data playback, you can have a
complete ensemble of 16 independent instrument sounds.You can also play Multis from the keyboard. This allows
you to set up layers of different Voices, or special key splits in which your right and left hands can play separate
Voices (page 34).
