Drums Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. SFX Various special effect sounds and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. Organ Flutes! This authentic organ Voice lets you use the Voice Set to adjust the various footages and craft your own original organ sounds. See page 18 for details. MegaVoice These Voices make special use of velocity switching. Each velocity range (the measure of your playing strength) has a completely different sound. For example, a guitar MegaVoice includes the sounds of various performance techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having those sounds 1 would be called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the desired effect. However, now with MegaVoices, a convincing guitar part can be played with just a single Voice, using specific velocity values to play the desired Voices sounds. Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise veloci- ties need to play the sounds, they're not intended for playing from the key- board. They are, however, very useful and convenient when creating MIDI data-especially when you want to avoid using several different Voices just for a single instrument part. The MegaVoices are in the "StyleVoices" folder in the Voice Selection display. For instructions on selecting MegaVoices, refer to the "Selecting GM&XG or Other Voices" on page 7. NOTE Super Articulation and Mega Voices are not compatible with other instrument models. For this reason, any Song or Style you've created on this instrument using these Voices will not sound properly when played back on the instruments which do not have these types of Voices. NOTE Super Articulation and Mega Voices sound differently depending on keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you apply a HARMONY/ECHO effect, change the transpose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result. For a list of preset Voices of this instrument, refer to the "Voice List" in the Data List. The Data List is available at the online Yamaha Library. Using MEGAEnhancer MEGAEnhancer is a software program that converts XG/GM song data (Standard MIDI File) to song data specially enhanced to be played back using an instrument or tone generator containing MegaVoices. With the use of the sophisticated MegaVoices, MEGAEnhancer automatically makes conventional song files with guitar, bass, and other parts sound much more realistic and authentic. MEGAEnhancer can be downloaded from the Yamaha website. http://download.yamaha.com/ 6 PSR-S950/S750 Reference Manual

Voices
NOTE
Super Articulation and Mega Voices are not compatible with other instrument models. For this reason, any Song or Style you’ve created on this instru-
ment using these Voices will not sound properly when played back on the instruments which do not have these types of Voices.
NOTE
Super Articulation and Mega Voices sound differently depending on keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you apply a HARMONY/ECHO effect,
change the transpose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.
For a list of preset Voices of this instrument, refer to the “Voice List” in the Data List. The Data List is
available at the online Yamaha Library.
Drums
Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting
you play the sounds from the keyboard.
SFX
Various special effect sounds and percussion sounds are assigned to individual
keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard.
Organ Flutes!
This authentic organ Voice lets you use the Voice Set to adjust the various foot-
ages and craft your own original organ sounds. See
page 18
for details.
MegaVoice
These Voices make special use of velocity switching. Each velocity range (the
measure of your playing strength) has a completely different sound.
For example, a guitar MegaVoice includes the sounds of various performance
techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having those sounds
would be called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the desired
effect. However, now with MegaVoices, a convincing guitar part can be played
with just a single Voice, using specific velocity values to play the desired
sounds. Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise veloci-
ties need to play the sounds, they’re not intended for playing from the key-
board. They are, however, very useful and convenient when creating MIDI
data—especially when you want to avoid using several different Voices just for
a single instrument part.
The MegaVoices are in the “StyleVoices” folder in the Voice Selection display.
For instructions on selecting MegaVoices, refer to the “Selecting GM&XG or
Other Voices” on

Using MEGAEnhancer
MEGAEnhancer is a software program that converts XG/GM song data (Standard MIDI File) to song
data specially enhanced to be played back using an instrument or tone generator containing MegaVoices.
With the use of the sophisticated MegaVoices, MEGAEnhancer automatically makes conventional song
files with guitar, bass, and other parts sound much more realistic and authentic. MEGAEnhancer can be
