Store Voice - Yamaha W5 Owner's Manual

STORE VOICE

Store Voice Mode lets you store the currently selected voice, including any voice edit
changes, into an Internal voice bank memory (001 ~ 128).
As you make parameter setting changes in Voice Edit Mode,
the changes are made on a copy of the original voice which is
temporarily held in the voice edit buffer. The settings will be
retained as you switch back and forth between edit and
compare , but will be lost if you select another voice before
storing it to an Internal voice memory. Therefore, you must
always store your important user-created voices to an Internal voice
bank memory before selecting another voice .
NOTE: For more information about voice editing, see Voice Mode, page
1 0 8 .
In Store Voice Mode, currently selected Preset, GM and
Internal voices can only be stored in the Internal voice bank;
therefore, the Internal bank is automatically selected as the store
destination.
However, if the currently selected voice is a Song voice, then
it can only be stored in the Song voice bank of the currently
selected multi; therefore, in this case, the Song bank for the
currently selected song is automatically selected as the store
destination.
Song voices are exclusive to each song i.e, only Song voices
from the currently selected song can be accessed. Also, as with
song sequence data, voice data in the Song voice bank memory
will not be retained when the power is turned off; therefore,
you must always save your important Song voice data to floppy
disks before turning the power off.
NOTE: For more information about Song voices, see Utility Mode, Song
Voice Memory function, page 143.
