Can I change or Customize the internal Voices?
Now that you have learned about various programming techniques for Setups, you might want to apply some of these things to the Internal Voices mode. Essentially, when you are in Internal Voices mode, you are playing a single zone setup. So all of the zone programming parameters apply. For example, you might want to assign a slider to Tempo Control for the Arpeggiator. This is easily done.
1. Start in Internal Voices mode.
2. Edit any of the parameters found within the MIDI Transmit, Program, Key Range, Transpose, Velocity, Controllers, and Arpeggiator buttons.
3. Press Store. The display will ask if you want to save a Setup and will pick the first empty Setup location.
4. Press the Internal Voices. The display now asks if you want to save to Internal Voices. Press Enter, and you are done.
Since there is only one location for the Internal Voices parameters in memory, any changes you make using this method will wipe out the defaults that currently exist for those parameters. But if you Reset the PC2, those defaults will return. You can reset the PC2 from the Global Menu.
Don’t confuse the Internal Voices Setup with MIDI Setup 126, which is named Internal Voices. The two are actually separate things. You can edit one without changing the other. However, if you have not changed the default values of the Internal Voices Setup, it does have the parameters set to the same values that you will find in Setup 126.
There are two parameters that can’t be changed from the defaults – the Program and the Bank. Whenever you turn on the PC2, it will always call up Program 0 Stereo Grand in the Internal Voices Bank. After that, whatever sound you call up in Internal Voices mode is remembered and the PC2 will switch to that sound if you switch to Internal Voices mode from MIDI Setups mode. In addition, the Effects settings aren’t set by the above method. Since each individual Program can have its own Effects, the regular method of choosing an Effect setting for a program (as described in the intro section of this document) still applies.
