Voice Types (Characteristics)
S.Art!
(Super Articulation)
These Voices provide many benefits with great playability and expressive con-
trol in real time.
For example, with the Saxophone Voice, if you play a C and then a D in a very
legato way, you will hear the note change seamlessly, as though a saxophone
player played it in a single breath.
Similarly with the Concert Guitar Voice and play the D note strongly, the D
note would sound as a “hammer on,” without the string being plucked again.
Depending on how you play, other effects such as “shaking” or breath noises
(for the Trumpet Voice), or finger noises (for the Guitar Voice) are produced.
For details on how to best play each Super Articulation Voice, call up the infor-
mation window (pressing the [7
] (INFO.) button in the Voice Selection dis-
play).
Live!
These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to produce a truly
authentic, rich sound—full of atmosphere and ambience.
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 sophisticated
technology—and feature a finely detailed and natural sound.
