Voice Types

 Voice Characteristics

The Voice type and its defining characteristics are indicated above the Voice name —

Live!, Cool!, Sweet!, etc. For detailed explanation, refer to the Reference Manual.

In this section, only Super Articulation Voices (SA) is explained. These Voices have

special characteristics you should be aware of, and they require specific performance

techniques to bring out all of their expressive qualities.

SA Voices (S.Articulation!)

The SA Voices provide great playability and expressive control in real time.

For example, with the Guitar Voice, if you play a C and then a D in a very legato

way, the D note would sound as a “hammer on,” without the string being plucked

again.

Depending on how you play, other effects such as finger noises (for the Guitar

Voice) will be produced.

You can also use the pedals to add articulations to the SA Voices (page 42). For details

on how to best play each SA Voice, call up the information window (pressing the [7]

(INFO) button in the Voice Selection display).

Percussion/Drum Voices

When one of the Voices is selected from this button, you can play various

drums and percussion instruments or SFX (sound effects) sounds on the

Keyboard. Details are given in the Drum List of the separate Data List.

NOTE

SA Voices are only compatible

with other models which have

those types of Voices installed.

Any Song or Style data you’ve

created on the instrument using

this Voice will not sound properly

when played back on other

instruments.

NOTE

SA Voices sound differently

depending on the keyboard

range, velocity, touch, etc.

Hence, if you apply a HARMONY/

ECHO effect, change the

transpose setting or change the

Voice Set parameters,

unexpected or undesired sounds

may result.
