VOICE/PERFORMANCE
XG is a major enhancement of the GM System Level 1 for-
mat. It was developed by Yamaha specifically to provide
more voices and variations, as well as greater expressive
control over voices and effects, and to ensure data compat-
ibility well into the future.
If you select XG and press the VARIATION [†]/[π] buttons
simultaneously, the XG voice selection screen will appear.
Voice selection is a performance parameter (page 30).
