Playing the Voices

The MX49/MX61 consists of 16 Parts. Voices, which are
the basic sounds and building blocks of the MX49/MX61,
are assigned to each Part. After the instrument is turned
on, the top display which appears shows the Voices of
only Parts 1 and 2. With the default settings, playing the
keyboard will sound only the Voice for Part 1. Select the
desired Voice from the various preset Voices and play it.

The instructions of the "Playing the Voices" section
assume that you are starting from the top display
with the default settings immediately after turning
this instrument on. If the instrument is in a different
status, or for some reason you cannot return to the
top display with the default settings, simultaneously
hold down [SHIFT] and press [SELECT]. This is the
Quick Reset function and allows you to return
operation to the same top display as when the
instrument is first turned on.
NOTICE
Executing the Quick Reset function above erases any
edited data. Be sure to store important data to internal
memory (page 33).
NOTE
For details about this function, see the "Shift Function
List" (page 39).
