Procedure
Voice
On the Clavinova, a voice
means “tone” or “tonal color.”
You can also switch between
voices in the same group by
pressing a voice group button
repeatedly.
To learn characteristics of the
voices, listen to demo songs for
each voice group (page 18).
Refer to “Preset Voice List” on
page 106 for more information on
characteristics of each preset
voice.
You can control the loudness of a
voice by how hard you play the
keyboard, although different play-
ing styles (touch sensitivities) have
little or no effect with the sound of
certain musical instruments. Refer
to “Preset Voice List” on
page 106.
XG is a major enhancement of
the GM System level 1 format,
and was developed by Yamaha
specially to provide more
voices and variations, as well
as greater expressive control
over voices and effects, and to
ensure compatibility of data
well into the future.
