Voice Sections; Selecting Voices - Yamaha Artiste AR-80 Electone Owner's Manual

Voice Sections

The AR-80 features a total of 148 realistic, high-quality AWM Voices. There are five Voice sections for the
Upper keyboard, four Voice sections for the Lower keyboard, and four Voice sections for the Pedalboard.
Each Voice section has its own Voice Condition page(s) (described on page 33), which allow you to
make independent Voice, volume and other settings for each section.

Selecting Voices

Since selection of Voices follows the same procedure throughout the various Voice sections,
instructions for only Upper Keyboard Voice 1 are given here. In these instructions, you'll also learn
how to set the volume for the Voice sections.
To select Voices:
1.
First, turn on the desired Voice section in the ENSEMBLE buttons.
Press the UPPER VOICE 1 button to turn on Upper Keyboard Voice 1. (The button's lamp
lights.)
