by pressing the appropriate Number button ([3], [4], etc.).

[H], then press the desired Number button [1] – [16].
You can also use the [DEC/NO] button, [INC/YES] button,

can scroll through the Voices within the same Bank across
the different Groups by rotating the data dial or pressing
the [DEC/NO]/[INC/YES] button.
Now, enjoy various Voices by following the above
operations. 128 Voices are available for each Bank. Press
the [PRE 2] to [PRE 8] and [GM] buttons to select Voices in
other Banks.

The top of the display in the Voice Play mode indicates the
Voice related information, such as Bank, Voice number
(Group and Number), Category 1, Category 2, and Voice

instrument assigned to it. This allows you to easily create
and play rhythm patterns made up of various drum/
percussion instruments.
