Playing and Controlling Super Articulation Voices The word "articulation" in music usually refers to the transition or continuity between notes. This is often reflected in specific performance techniques, such as staccato, legato and slur. The Super Articulation Voices (S.Art Voices) enable you to create subtle, very realistic expressive nuances, simply by how you play. The Voice type (S.Art) is indicated above the name of Super Articulation Voices, on the Voice Selection display. NOTE The applied articulation effect differs depending on the selected Voice. For details, refer to the Data List on the website. Automatic articulation effects of Super Articulation Voices  S.Art Voices The S.Art Voices provide many benefits with great playability and expressive real-time control. 2 Example: Saxophone Voice If you play a C note and then an adjacent D in a very legato way, you will hear the note change seamlessly, as though a saxophone player played it in a single breath. Example: Concert Guitar Voice If you play a C note and then the E just above in a very legato but firm way, the pitch slides up from C to E. NOTE You can also add articulation sounds manually by using the functions "Articulation 1-2" when the Voice has the corresponding sounds. These functions can be assigned to the ASSIGNABLE buttons, the [ROTARY SP/ASSIGNABLE] button, or the foot pedals.

change seamlessly, as though a saxophone player played it in a single breath.
Example: Concert Guitar Voice
If you play a C note and then the E just above in a very legato but firm way, the pitch
slides up from C to E.
