Suitable for playing in any music genre and style. Grand piano sound with a soft and warm tone. Good for playing ballads. 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." Soft tone when played lightly, and an aggressive tone when played hard. An electronic piano sound created by FM synthesis. Good for standard popular music. The definitive instrument for baroque music. Since harpsichord uses plucked strings, there is no touch response. There is, however, a characteristic additional sound when the keys are released. Vibraphone played with relatively soft mallets. The tone becomes more metallic the harder you play. This is a typical pipe organ sound (8' + 4' + 2'). Good for sacred music from the Baroque period. The sound of a "tonewheel" type electric organ. Often heard in jazz and rock music. Stereo-sampled, large-scale strings ensemble with realistic reverb. Try combining this Voice with piano in the Dual mode. *Piano Voices. 20 YDP-165, YDP-145, YDP-S55, YDP-S35 Owner's Manual
