INITIALIZE
The initialization process sets all Internal normal voices to their basic initial values. The
Internal AWM element and other normal voice settings will be cleared and each voice will
be initialized as a one-element sine wave voice i.e., the status you will want when
creating a voice from scratch. The two Internal drum voice memories will simply be
assigned GM Drum Voice #01 and #02, respectively.
VOICE BULK DUMP
The Voice Bulk Dump function lets you transmit the entire bank of Internal 128 normal
voices and 2 drum voices currently stored in the W5/W7 to another W5/W7 or to external
MIDI devices.
