Combining Voices and Playing Them on the
Keyboard
The CP300 allows you to play several different Voices together in

different Voice (or even two layered Voices!) with your right. Try
out some of the variations and experiment with your own Voice
combinations.

with them, try branching out creatively and use the editing
features to make your own original Voices.
