ENGLISH Selecting & Playing Voices Selecting & Playing Voices Selecting Voices 1. Select the Grand Piano 1 voice by pressing the [PIANO/VOICE] button. Pressing the [SELECT] button switches among the following ten voices. Key Voice Name Description C1 Grand Piano 1 Recorded samples from a full concert grand piano. Also includes three levels of dynamic sampling, sustain samples, and key-off samples for exceptionally realistic acoustic grand piano sound. Perfect for classical compositions as well as any other style that requires acoustic piano. C#1 Grand Piano 2 Spacious and clear piano with bright reverb. Good for popular music. D1 Piano & Strings A Dual voice combining grand piano and strings - perfect for slow, orchestral piano music. D#1 Electronic Piano 1 An electronic piano sound created by FM synthesis. Exceptional musical response with varying timbre according to keyboard dynamics. Good for standard popular music. E1 Electronic Piano 2 The sound of an electric piano using hammer-struck metallic tines. Soft tone when played lightly, and an aggressive tone when played hard. F1 Church Organ This is a typical pipe organ sound (8 feet + 4 feet + 2 feet). Good for sacred music from the Baroque period. F#1 Jazz Organ The sound of a tonewheel type electric organ. Often heard in jazz and rock idioms. G1 Strings Stereo-sampled, large-scale strings ensemble with realistic reverb. Try combining this voice with piano in the DUAL. G#1 Harpsichord The definitive instrument for baroque music. Since harpsichord uses plucked strings, there is no touch response.
