From within Voice Play or Song Multi Play, you can call up voices via the Voice
Directory. Press [F8], the function key located directly beneath the abbreviation Dir at the
lower right of the screen. A subpage that displays the voices in groups of eight will overlay
onto the Voice Play screen.
From within the Voice Directory you can select voices with the JOG, the CURSOR
keys, INC/DEC and the KEYPAD. As you scroll through the voice list the display will
advance accordingly. To return to the Voice Play screen, simply press EXIT.
SELECTING VOICE BANKS
The sounds you have been selecting in Song Play and Voice Play are stored in the GM
voice bank, indicated by the letter G appearing immediately to the left of the three-digit
voice number. These preset General MIDI sounds were programmed at the factory and
stored in ROM (Read Only Memory) and therefore cannot be overwritten; however, they
can be edited in Voice Edit Mode and then stored in the Internal voice bank RAM (Ran-
dom Access Memory) by Store Mode.
The W5/W7 has a total of 10 separate
voice banks
. Eight of these are provided as
standard features, while two of them are available as optional ROM memories that you can
purchase separately and plug into the W5/W7 s logic board via a special access located on
the bottom of the instrument.

bank you want.
The various voice banks are organized according to the type of instrument sounds that
are in them i.e., by normal voices (voices with pitched sounds) or drum voices (voices
with assorted percussion sounds). Whether the voice bank is a normal or a drum voice
bank is indicated by a one- or two-letter abbreviation code, respectively, which appears
immediately to the left of the voice number. Following is a list of the various voice banks,
along with abbreviation codes and descriptions:
