Voice Characteristics
Live! These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to pro-
duce a truly authentic, rich sound—full of atmosphere and ambi-
ence.
Cool! These Voices capture the dynamic textures and subtle nuances of
electric instruments—thanks to a huge amount of memory and
some very sophisticated programming.
Sweet! These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha’s sophis-
ticated technology—and feature a sound so finely detailed and natu-
ral, you’ll swear you’re playing the real thing!
Drums Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys,
letting you play the sounds from the keyboard.
SFX Various special effect sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting
you play the sounds from the keyboard.
