Voice
Explanation
OFF/Piano
*1
This sound was sampled from the Yamaha CFX concert grand piano. It uses different samples depending on the strength of your
playing and produces smoother tonal changes. Even the tonal changes produced by the damper pedal and the subtle sounds of
releasing the keys are reproduced. The sympathetic vibration (String Resonance) that occurs among the strings of an acoustic piano
has also been simulated. Suitable not only for classical compositions but also for piano pieces of any style.
Electric Piano 1
An electronic piano sound produced by an FM synthesizer. The tone will change as you vary your playing touch. Ideal for popular
music.
Pressing the soft pedal/shift pedal switches between on and off of the chorus effect.
Electric Piano 2
The sound of an electric piano using hammer-struck metallic “tines.” Soft tone when played lightly, and an aggressive tone when
played hard.
Pressing the soft pedal/shift pedal switches between on and off of the chorus effect.
Electric Piano 3
A different type of electric piano sound. Widely used in rock and popular music.
Pressing the soft pedal/shift pedal switches between on and off of the chorus effect.
Harpsichord 1
The sound of an instrument frequently used in baroque music. Variations in playing touch will not affect the volume, and a
characteristic sound will be heard when you release the key.
Harpsichord 2
A harpsichord with an added upper octave. Produces a more brilliant sound.
Vibraphone
Vibraphone played with relatively soft mallets. The tone becomes more metallic the harder you play.
Pressing the soft pedal/shift pedal switches between on and off of the vibrato.

well-known for its appearance in “Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies” from Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker Suite.”
