Lowest key C1 D1 E1 F1 G1 A1 Voice List Key Voice Name Voice description CFX Grand Yamaha's CFX flagship concert grand piano sound with a wide dynamic range for maximum expressive control. Suitable for playing in any music genre and style. C1 Binaural CFX Grand C#1 Bösendorfer Yamaha's CFX flagship concert grand piano sound sampled by Binaural Sampling, the method optimized for headphone use. Listening this through headphones gives the impression of being immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the piano. This Voice is selected automatically when headphones are connected. The famed sound of the Vienna-made Bösendorfer full concert grand piano. Its spacious sound evokes the size of the instrument, and is ideal for expressing tenderness in compositions. D1 Pop Grand Bright piano sound. Good for clear expression and "cutting through" other instruments in an ensemble. The sound of an electric piano using hammer-struck metallic "tines." D#1 Stage E.Piano Soft tone when played lightly, and an aggressive tone when played hard. E1 DX E.Piano An electronic piano sound created by FM synthesis. Good for standard popular music. The definitive instrument for baroque music. Since harpsichord uses F1 Harpsichord plucked strings, there is no touch response. There is, however, a characteristic additional sound when the keys are released. F#1 Vibraphone G1 Pipe Organ G#1 Jazz Organ Vibraphone played with relatively soft mallets. The tone becomes more metallic the harder you play. This is a typical pipe organ sound (8 feet + 4 feet + 2 feet). Good for sacred music from the Baroque period. The sound of a "tonewheel" type electric organ. Often heard in jazz and rock music. A1 Strings Stereo-sampled, large-scale strings ensemble with realistic reverb. Try combining this Voice with piano in the Dual mode. 18 CLP-725 Owner's Manual
