(Each step in the tempo adjustment corresponds to 4 beats per minute. ) NOTE You should enter numbers on the Numeric Keypad relatively quickly. If you do not enter the second digit of a number within about ten seconds after entering the first digit, the first digit will be cancelled.

Many of these Voices have special preset characteristics or embellishments. The Voices are divided into various categories depending on their characteristics or the effects used. Dual Voices (#41 - #56) feature two Voices mixed together in a layer for rich ensemble sounds. Split Voices (#57 - #67) also have two Voices, but rather than being layered, each is played from a different range of the keyboard. Sustain Voices (#68 - #72) extend the sound by adding a natural, slow release.
