Playing Various Musical Instrument Sounds

sounds (Voices), such as organ or stringed instruments. "CFX Grand" Voice is normally selected when the

Selecting Voices

The Voices of the instrument are conveniently divided into specific groups and
each of them are assigned to the Voice group buttons on the panel of the
