Yamaha Portatone Musical Instrument Amplifier User Manual

There are three ways to select voices: 1) directly entering the voice number
with the numeric keypad, 2) using the +/- keys to step up and down
through the voices, or 3) pressing the VOICE button to advance through
the voice numbers.
2 Select the desired voice number.
Use the numeric keypad. The basic categories of voices and their numbers
are shown at the right side of the panel. A complete list of the available
voices is given on page 109.
All two-digit voice numbers
can be selected without
entering an initial “0.”
However, when selecting
voice numbers 1 - 23, the
PortaTone pauses briefly
before actually calling up
the voice. (This pause
allows for entering three-
digit voice numbers, such as
“235.” Entering the
numbers “2” then “4”
immediately calls up voice
#24, since there are no
voices #240 or higher.)
If you want to immediately
call up voices #1 - #23,
enter one or two zeros
before the number; for
example, select voice #9 by
pressing “0,” “0,” then
“9.” Pressing only “0” does
not change the voice.
Using the numeric keypad
Enter the digits of the voice number as indicated on the panel. For ex-
ample, to select voice #42, press “4” on the numeric keypad, then “2.”
