The Set Voice task is typically used in conjunction with satellite programming. Programming services will often provide liners, splitters, etc, done by the program hosts. These liners are then signaled by the programming service at various times. As the host changes, the custom liners, etc, need to change as well.
Rather than creating many different tasks that play different cart numbers, you can use this task to set a 2-character value for the so-called "voice number". Then, you can create a single liner playback task, for instance, that uses the current voice number to dynamically determine what cart number to play. The macro characters "##" (pound sign twice) are used for this purpose in cart numbers. For instance, if the current voice number is "14" (shown here), then a liner cart play with a cart number of "LI##" would become "LI14" when called for playback.
