C D E Press the corresponding buttons to select the other pages - and discover even more voices. Press the [8▲] button to start the Demo for the selected voice. To stop the Demo, press this button again. There's more to the Demo features than just voices, though-for more information, see page 53. 4 Play the voices.

Simply press the [8▲] button from the display above, and a Demo of the voice plays automatically.

Now, you can play two different voices together in a rich sounding layer - the MAIN voice you selected in the previous section, plus the new LAYER voice you've selected here. And that's just the beginning. Check out these other voice-related features: • Instant setup of the Clavinova for piano play - with the press of a single button (page 56). • Create your own original voices - quickly and easily - by changing the settings of existing voices (page 88). • Set up your favorite panel settings - including voices, styles, and more - and call them up whenever you need them (page 85). 26 Quick Guide
