Converting the Voices of a MIDI Song to MegaVoices (MEGAEnhancer)
MEGAEnhancer is a software program that converts XG/GM song data (Standard MIDI File) to Song data specially
enhanced to be played back using an instrument or tone generator containing MegaVoices. With the use of the
sophisticated MegaVoices, MEGAEnhancer automatically makes conventional Song files — with guitar and bass
parts — sound much more realistic and authentic. MEGAEnhancer can be downloaded from the following website.

CVP-609/605 Reference Manual
These Voices make special use of velocity switching. Normal Voices use velocity
switching, too — to change the sound quality and/or level of a Voice according to how
strongly or softly you play it. This makes the Voice sound authentic and natural. With
MegaVoices, however, each velocity range (the measure of your playing strength) has a
completely different sound. For example, a guitar MegaVoice includes the sounds of
various performance techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having
those sounds would be called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the
desired effect. However, now with MegaVoices, a convincing guitar part can be played
with just a single Voice, using specific velocity values to play the desired sounds.
Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise velocities need to play
the sounds, they're not intended for playing from the keyboard. They are, however,
very useful and convenient when creating MIDI data — especially when you want to
avoid using several different Voices just for a single instrument part.
Actual sound maps for the MegaVoices are given in the separate Data List booklet.
NOTE
MegaVoices are not compatible with other models. Any Song or Style data you've
created on this instrument using the MegaVoices will not sound properly when played
back on other instruments which do not feature the same MegaVoices.
NOTE
MegaVoices will sound differently depending on the keyboard range, velocity, touch,
etc. Hence, if you apply the Keyboard Harmony effect, change the transpose setting or
change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.
