=== Select Voices ===
The first choice of the voice menu is 'Select Voices'. With this This function allows you can use to select instruments (voices) me! choose with their corresponding start volumes for the track. First make your choice for which sound chip you want to select the voices. You will then receive a tahel table with numbers from 1 to 16 (these are the numbers that you have to put in the patterns behind the T'I'). In this tahel are This table contains the instruments that will be kept saved in the piece of music. You can go through this tahel table with the cursor keys. If you press the space now, you will enter the voicebanks. These voicebanks are filled with the standard instruments that MoonBlaster has on board. With [CTRL] + cursor left / right you can walk through the voice banks. The last column of the voicebanks covers the 'Own Voice' list. For more information on the own voices, please see par. Section 4.3. - Create Own Voice. When you have found the right instrument, press the space bar and return to the instruments labelinstrument table. With [ESC] you can also leave the voice banks, but you will not choose an instrument. You can thus put an instrument at any place. You can use these chosen instruments for instrument change (see chapter 3) or for star starting instruments. The initial volumes of the instruments (these are placed located behind the instruments in the instrument clustertable) are changed with the cursor left (decrease volume) or the cursor right (increase volume). The Voices can be listened to when selecting an instrument. With the F3 key you can select the right keyboard with which the instrument must be played. This can be done with the MSX keyboard, the keyboard of the Philips Music Module or via MIDI, . MoonBlaster knows the following MIDI interfaces: 1205 MIDI (available in the Philips Music Module), the MSX-MIDI standard or the FM1 FMI (FAC MIDI Interface). The appropriate MIDI interface can be selected with the [M] key. With [F1] and [F2] you can change the height of the keyboard per octave, because some instruments will sound too high or too low. (Note: When using the MSX keyboard, the format is different layout differs from the one-key button input system.)
==== MSX AUDIO and MSX-MUSIC ====
With MSX-AUDIO chips there are no restrictions on the choices of instruments, but with the MSX-MUSIC. The hardware voices (always the first column of the voicebanks) are then marked with a '*'. These hardware voices can all be chosen. Up to six of the other voices (software voices) can be selected. Here too, there is a limitationrestriction: the MSX-MUSIC only has FM Synthesis, so tie which means that the AM Voices can not be selected and listened to.
