Voice description
GrandPiano1 ● ● ● ● ●
This voice has been sampled from a full con-
cert grand piano. It features five-stage dynamic
sampling, tone changes with damper pedal
operation, and a subtle voicing at the release
of the keys. It simulates the ultimate acoustic
piano sound. It also reproduces a string reso-
nance that is typical of acoustic pianos. This
voice is suitable not only for classical music but
for piano music of any genre.

for rock and popular genres.

struck metallic “tines.” Soft tone when played
lightly, and an aggressive tone when played hard.

sound are layered. This voice is very effective
for a jazz walking bass.
Harpsichord8' ●
Ч Ч
●
Ч
The harpsichord is often used for Baroque
music. The volume level is always consistent
regardless of how you play. The instrument
generates a peculiar voice when you release
the keys. “8’” means that it produces the same
octave sound as the keys.
Harpsichord8'+4' ●
Ч Ч
●
Ч
This voice combines the 8’ and 4’ harpsichord
sounds. “4’” means that it produces a sound
one octave higher than the actual keys.
ElectricClavichord
Ч
●
Ч
●
Ч
This is the voice of a keyboard that produces
sound by striking the strings with magnetic
pickups. This funky sound is popular in black
contemporary music. Because of its unique
structure, the instrument produces a peculiar
sound when you release the keys.
Vibraphone ● ● ●
Ч Ч
This voice simulates a vibraphone played with a soft mallet.
The harder you play, the more metallic it sounds. Use the
“VibraphonePedalMode” parameter in the “OTHER SET-
TING” menu to select whether the sound sustains while
you hold down the keys, or the sound sustains only when
you press the pedal. An actual vibraphone has a rotor
inside the resonance tube, which rotates via the motor to
create the vibrato effect. Pressing the left pedal applies this
effect; pressing the pedal again turns the effect off.
