Breakaway Vocalizer 1000 Voices, Instruments, and assorted observations.

The Breakaway Vocalizer 1000 is a MIDI pitch-tracker, and sample player, which I had used for analysing dolphin vocalisations. Unfortunately it seems to have been marketed as a toy for karaoke fans. It is claimed to track and playback to the nearest 32nd of a semitone, and although it is now old technology, I find it fun, so here is what I have discovered about its hidden voices. (certainly not General Midi).

PGM (program numbers) and sounds		Check it with your sequencer. These program numbers work with Music-X on Amiga (my old favourite) yet some sequencers may transpose the program numbers by one position: so that Piano is 0 and Rap Drum is 73 etc.
1 Piano	2 Elec. Guitar	3 Flute	4 Sax	5 Violin
6 Bells	7 Spirit	8 Electric Piano	9 Fuzz Guitar	10 Whistle
11 Trumpet	12 Cello	13 Marimba	14 Warp	15 Piano Strings
16 Electric Bass	17 Clarinet	18 Trombone	19 Bass	20 Steel Drums
21 Fusion	22 Organ	23 Slap Bass	24 Harmonica	25 Synth Brass
26 Synth Strings Delay	27 Synth Drums	28 Sara	29 Sine Wave	30 Kick
31 Snare	32 Low Snare	33 Syndrum Medium	34 Syn Wobble Board	35 Hi Hat
36 Crash Cymbal Ring	37 Crown Cymbal Ring	38 Congas	39 Rimshot	40 Static
41 Cowbell	42 Woodblock	43 Metal	44 Woodblock/Log	45 Metal
46 Digital Piano	47 New Age Synth	48 Synth Strings with Reverb	49 Bass Synth	50 Sax
51 Low Fuzz Synth	52 Organ/Clav Fuzz	53 Fretless Bass	54 Legend Synth	55 Horns
56 Synth Analogue	57 Synth after Arps	58 Voices	59 Chimes	60 Oboe
61 Fusion	62 Jewel	63 Rowdy Bass	64 Synth Sailing	65 Hammond Organ
66 L/A Synth	67 Rowdy GX-1	68 Honk/Rudie	69 Synth Bass	70 Tubular Bells
71 T-Bones	72 Rhodes	73 French Horns	74 Rap Drum

NB: These program numbers work with Music-X on Amiga (my old favourite) yet some sequencers may transpose the program numbers by one position: so that Piano is 0 and Rap Drum is 73 etc. From my experience the default pitchbend range on this device is 4096 units per semitone. To reset the machine, whilst switching on hold the button on the right hand side. To activate the MIDI in and out hold the same right hand button and toggle the yellow voice guide and melody guide at lower left corner of the front (just above the butterfly logo), and watch the LCD.
