Revoicing Pre-recorded SMF Song Files on a TYROS

Individual Song Channel (Track) Parameters such as Voice, Volume, Pan, Tempo, etc. can be changed by selecting the 'MIXING CONSOLE' function from the 'SET UP' page in 'SONG CREATOR'. The TYROS also has an 'Auto Revoice' feature (see Using the Automatic Revoicing Feature with Pre-recorded SMF Song Files) which lets the user automatically substitute the higher-quality TYROS Voices for GM or XG Voices on a Standard MIDI File (SMF).
The steps below show how to manually revoice songs.
