Keyboard Mega Voices
Normal Voices use velocity switching to make the sound quality and/or level of a Voice change according to how
strongly or softly you play it. This makes the Voices sound authentic and natural. However, with Keyboard Mega Voices,
each velocity range (the measure of your playing strength) has a completely different sound. For example, a guitar
Voice includes the sounds of various performance techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having
those sounds would be called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the desired effect. Now with Keyboard
Mega Voices, a convincing guitar Part can be played with just a single Voice, using specific velocity values to play the
desired sounds.

The Keyboard Mega Voice names are indicated as “Mega **” in the display.
