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 resonance that is typical of acoustic pianos. This voice is suitable not only for classical music but for piano music of any genre. A bright, expansive piano sound which is ideal for rock and popular genres. An electronic piano sound created by FM synthesis. Extremely "musical" response with varying timbre according to keyboard dynamics. The sound of an electric piano using hammerstruck metallic "tines." Soft tone when played lightly, and an aggressive tone when played hard. This voice simulates the electric piano sound produced by synthesizers in popular music. It also goes well with the acoustic piano sound. This voice simulates the sound of an upright bass played with the fingers, and is suitable for jazz and Latin music.

The instrument generates a peculiar voice when you release the keys. "8'" means that it produces the same octave sound as the keys. This voice combines the 8' and 4' harpsichord sounds. "4'" means that it produces a sound one octave higher than the actual keys. 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. 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 SETTING" 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. CLP-970A 93
