You can change the voice played by any individual accompaniment track
by using the cursor buttons to select the voice number of the target track (the

[+/YES] buttons to select the desired voice number. Please note that only

Adjusting Accompaniment Track Volume

The volume of each accompaniment track can be adjusted to produce the
ideal "mix" between tracks. Use the cursor buttons to select the volume bar
of the target track (the volume bar will flash), and then use the [–/NO] and
[+/YES] buttons to set the maximum volume of the track as required. The
shorter the bar, the lower the volume. During playback the top segment of
each volume bar will remain at the maximum volume level, while the lower
bars will move according to the amount of activity in each track.
