The buttons of the VOICE section (excepting USER DRIVE) are used to call up the relevant voice selection (Open/Save) display 
for the Preset drive. Pressing one of the buttons calls up the voice selection display corresponding to the selected category, and 
the last selected voice in the category is automatically called up. Five of these voice categories (below) are slightly different from 
the others and deserve special explanation.
