Selecting A Voice - Yamaha PORTATONE PSR-110 Owner's Manual

Included in the Voices are special PERCUS-
SION Voices (#39/#99) that let you play vari-
ous drum and percussion sounds from the
keyboard. (Refer to the Percussion Assign
Chart, page 9.)
Selecting a Voice
1. Turn the MUSIC MODE SELECTOR to
^ select VOICE.
2. Use the Numeric Keypad to select the
desired Voice number.
Each Voice is automatically called up with
the most suitable octave range setting. Thus,
playing middle C with one Voice may sound
higher or lower than another Voice at the
same key.
3. Play the newly selected Voice. If you want
to change to another Voice, repeat step 2
above.
You can also play rhythm Styles in the
VOICE Mode by simply pressing the
START/STOP button. The Style last se-
lected when in the STYLE Mode will be
played.
About the HARMONY Voices
L A single note can be played when several notes are pressed
for the HARMONY Voice. If several notes are played
together, only the last note played will determine the
harmony notes.
2. The type of harmony depends on the type of Voice selected.
When the VOICE Mode is selected, HARMONY 's basic
chord is always C. when in the STYLE Mode, changing the
chord played in the left hand also changes the harmony,
when in the SONG Mode, HARMONY notes change
according to the chord of the Song/Jam Track.
Note:
The PortaTone is polyphonic up to a maximum of 12 notes.
(Depending on the Voice selected, fewer notes may be
available.) This includes not only the Voices played from the
Keyboard, but also the notes in a Style pattern, and so on.
Thus, if you play too many notes at one time, some may not
sound and/or others may be cancelled.
