The resulting Voice is called a Custom Drum Voice and can be selected and played in the same way as all other Tyros3 Voices. 1Prepare the audio data you’ll be using for the new Voice.

As long as the Voice data exists in one loca- tion on the drive, you can save an Alias that will recall that data. When you save a Voice to some Libraries by using ALIAS and edit the Voice, the edit you per- form affects all Libraries which include the edited Voice.
