Selecting And Playing The Voices; Voice Section - Orla CDP31 Owner's Manual

SELECTING AND PLAYING THE VOICES

Your instrument has 476 sounds in the internal sound library numbered from 01 to 476, and 8 Drum
Kits numbered from 477 to 484. Sound 485 is the SOUND EFFECT bank preset.
The available sounds can be played in three different modes: Right 1, Right 2 and Left.
Right 1 - plays a single voice over the entire range of the keyboard.
Right 2 - mixes two different voices together (Layers) for rich, complex sounds.
Left - allows the player to select a Left sound and/or a Bass sound for the Left part and up
to two sounds for the Right part of the keyboard.
The complete list of the available Sounds is available in the SOUND LIST pages at the end of this
manual.
The first 128 sounds are listed according to the GM sound list from 1 to 128. From 129 to 476 the
sounds are listed according to the ORLA XM Sound List that incorporates all the GM sounds plus
all ORLA sound variations.
In GM mode the instrument allows the player to select the sounds according to the GM mapping
and most of the players remember the sound numbers and therefore may be easier for them.
In the XM mode the complete sound list is available including not only all the GM sounds but also
the many sound variations specially developed by the ORLA musicians team.
