Voice Explanation
OFF/Piano *1 This sound was sampled from the Yamaha CFX concert grand piano. It uses different samples depending on the strength of your
playing and produces smoother tonal changes. Even the tonal changes produced by the damper pedal and the subtle sounds of
releasing the keys are reproduced. The sympathetic vibration (String Resonance) that occurs among the strings of an acoustic piano
has also been simulated. Suitable not only for classical compositions but also for piano pieces of any style.
Electric Piano 1 An electronic piano sound produced by an FM synthesizer. The tone will change as you vary your playing touch. Ideal for popular
music.
Pressing the soft pedal/shift pedal switches between on and off of the chorus effect.
Electric Piano 2 The sound of an electric piano using hammer-struck metallic “tines.” Soft tone when played lightly, and an aggressive tone when
played hard.
Pressing the soft pedal/shift pedal switches between on and off of the chorus effect.
Electric Piano 3 A different type of electric piano sound. Widely used in rock and popular music.
Pressing the soft pedal/shift pedal switches between on and off of the chorus effect.
Harpsichord 1 The sound of an instrument frequently used in baroque music. Variations in playing touch will not affect the volume, and a
characteristic sound will be heard when you release the key.
Harpsichord 2 A harpsichord with an added upper octave. Produces a more brilliant sound.
Vibraphone Vibraphone played with relatively soft mallets. The tone becomes more metallic the harder you play.
Pressing the soft pedal/shift pedal switches between on and off of the vibrato.
Celesta The sound of a celesta (a percussion instrument in which hammers strike tuned metallic bars to produce sound). This instrument is
well-known for its appearance in “Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies” from Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker Suite.”
Pipe Organ 1 This voice features the combination of pipes (8’+4’+2’) of a principal (brass instrument) organ. It is suitable for Baroque church music.
Pipe Organ 2 This voice features a full coupler of a pipe organ, famous for the sound used in “Toccata and Fugue in D minor” by Bach.
Voice List

Pipe Organ 4 A pipe organ sound that combines ute-type (woodwind type) stops of different pitches (8’+4’+1-1/3’). This is brighter than
PipeOrgan3, and is suitable for solos.
Jazz Organ The sound of a “tonewheel” type electric organ. Often heard in jazz and rock idioms.
Pressing the soft pedal/shift pedal switches the rotary speaker speed (fast and slow).
Strings Stereo-sampled, large-scale strings ensemble with realistic reverb.
Choir A big, spacious choir voice. Perfect for creating rich harmonies in slow pieces.
