Voices - Yamaha S30 Owner's Manual

Voices

A Voice is a sound created from the many parameters set in the synthesizer. In Voice Play Mode, you
can select and play any of these Voices. In Performance Play Mode, several different Voices (known as
Parts in this Mode) can be layered and played simultaneously via keyboard or a sequencer. Four
groups of Voices are available (Preset 1, Preset 2, Internal and External). Another Group Voices is
also available if an optional Plug-in Board has been installed.
