Changing Voices Smoothly While Performing - Yamaha MX49 Owner's Manual

Quick Guide
Changing Voices smoothly
while performing
When you change a Voice assigned to a Part or select a
different Performance, the sound of the previous Voice/
Performance will be cut off, replaced abruptly by the
newly selected Voice/Performance.
In live performance situations, you probably want to
avoid this. To change Voices as you play without having
them cut off, assign the Voices you intend to play
beforehand to Parts 1 – 16 of a Performance, then select
the corresponding Part (with the numbered Category
buttons) as you play.
