Try Playing a Variety of Instrument Voices

You can change the keyboard Voice to another instrument Voice, such as strings, electric piano and 
others.

1.

Press the Voice button corresponding to the desired category.

Each press on one of the four Voice buttons alternates among the three Voices assigned to that 
button.

Voice list 

NOTE

• The list above conveniently includes program change numbers (PC No.), which you should use when playing the 

instrument via MIDI from an external device.

• Program change numbers are often specified as numbers “0 – 127.” Since this list uses a “1 – 128” numbering 

system, in some cases it may be necessary to subtract 1 from the actually transmitted program change numbers 
to select the appropriate sound. For example, to select No. 83 in the list above, actually transmit program change 
number 82.

• The Dance Kit Voice independently assigns various drum and percussion sounds to each key for playing on the 

keyboard. Details on the instruments and key assignments of each Drum Kit can be found in the Drum Kit List on 
page 36.
