VOICE PLAY

In Voice Play Mode you can select voice banks and voices for the currently selected track
and hear them in their original state, without system effects or other multi parameters
applied. In Voice Play Mode, the Insertion Effect which is assigned to voice in Voice Edit
Mode is also applied to the selected voice.

NOTE: When switching back to Song Play Mode from Voice Play
Mode, the Voice Play settings (i.e., the voice in its original state)
will be maintained for that specific track. To restore the original
multi setting for the track, you must switch to another song and
then back again.
