Voice group buttons

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 17). Refer

to “Preset Voice List” on page 114 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 playing

styles (touch sensitivities) have little

or no effect with the sound of certain

musical instruments. Refer to “Preset

Voice List” on page 114.
