All two-digit voice numbers
can be selected without
entering an initial "0."
However, when selecting
voice numbers 1 - 23, the
PortaTone pauses briefly
before actually calling up
the voice. (This pause
allows for entering three-
digit voice numbers, such as
"235." Entering the
numbers "2" then "4"
immediately calls up voice
#24, since there are no
voices #240 or higher.)
If you want to immediately
call up voices #1 - #23,
enter one or two zeros
before the number; for
example, select voice #9 by
pressing "0," "0," then
"9." Pressing only "0" does
not change the voice.
