The particular type of Voice is indicated at the upper left of the Voice name in the Voice Selection display.

The defining characteristics of these Voices and their performance advantages are described below.

Voice Types (Characteristics)

S.Art!

(Super Articulation)

These Voices provide many benefits with great playability and expressive con-

trol in real time.

For example, with the Saxophone Voice, if you play a C and then a D in a very

legato way, you will hear the note change seamlessly, as though a saxophone

player played it in a single breath.

Similarly with the Concert Guitar Voice and play the D note strongly, the D

note would sound as a “hammer on,” without the string being plucked again.

Depending on how you play, other effects such as “shaking” or breath noises

(for the Trumpet Voice), or finger noises (for the Guitar Voice) are produced.

For details on how to best play each S.Art! Voice, call up the information win-

dow (pressing the [6 ] (INFO) button in the Voice Selection display).

Live! These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to produce a truly

authentic, rich sound—full of atmosphere and ambience.

Cool! These Voices use sophisticated programming to capture the dynamic textures

and subtle nuances of electric instruments.

Sweet! These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha’s sophisticated

technology—and feature a finely detailed and natural sound.

Voices

NOTE S.Art! and MegaVoices are not compatible with other instrument models. For this reason, any Song or Style you’ve created on this instrument using these

Voices will not sound properly when played back on the instruments which do not have these types of Voices.

NOTE S.Art! and MegaVoices sound differently depending on keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you turn on the [HARMONY/ARPEGGIO] button,

change the transpose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.

For a list of preset Voices of this instrument, refer to the “Voice List” in the Data List on the website.

Drums Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting

you play the sounds from the keyboard. For information about what sound is

assigned to each key, refer to the “Drum/SFX Kit List” in the Data List on the

website.

Live! Drums These are high-quality drum sounds that take full advantage of Stereo Sam-

pling and Dynamic Sampling.

SFX Various special effect sounds and percussion sounds are assigned to individual

keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. For information about

what sound is assigned to each key, refer to the “Drum/SFX Kit List” in the

Data List on the website.

Live! SFX These are various high-quality special effect sounds and percussion sounds that

take full advantage of Stereo Sampling and Dynamic sampling.

Organ Flutes! This authentic organ Voice lets you use the Voice Set to adjust the various foot-

ages and craft your own original organ sounds. See page 20 for details.

MegaVoice These Voices make special use of velocity switching. Each velocity range (the

measure of your playing strength) has a completely different sound.

For example, a guitar MegaVoice 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. However, now with MegaVoices, a convincing guitar part can be played

with just a single Voice, using specific velocity values to play the desired

sounds. Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise veloci-

ties need to play the sounds, they’re not intended for playing from the key-

board. They are, however, very useful and convenient when creating MIDI

data—especially when you want to avoid using several different Voices just for

a single instrument part.

The MegaVoices are in the “MegaVoices” folder in the Voice Selection display.

For instructions on selecting MegaVoices, refer to the “Selecting GM&XG or

Other Voices” on page 5.

Setting the Touch Response of the Keyboard

Touch Response determines how the sound responds to your playing strength. The selected Touch Response

type becomes the common setting for all Voices.

NOTE Some Voices are purposely designed without Touch Response, in order to emulate the true characteristics of the actual instrument (for example, conventional

organs, which have no touch response).

1 Call up the operation display.

4 Use the [3 ]–[8 ] buttons to make various Harmony/Arpeggio settings.

When any one of the Arpeggio types is selected, only the parameters indicated by “*” in the list below can

be set. None of the parameters in the list below are available when the Harmony category “Multi Assign”

type is selected.

[3 ] VOLUME* Determines the volume level of the Harmony/Arpeggio notes generated

by the Harmony/Arpeggio function.

NOTE When you are using certain Voices, such as Organ Voices, in which the TOUCH SENSE DEPTH is

set to 0 in the VOICE SET display (page 16), the volume does not change.

[4 ]/

[5 ]

ASSIGN* Determines the keyboard part to which the effect is assigned.

AUTO: Applies the effect to the part (RIGHT 1/2) for which PART ON/

OFF is on. If the Harmony/Echo category is selected, the RIGHT 1

part is given priority over the RIGHT 2 part when both parts are on.

MULTI: This parameter is available when the Harmony/Echo category is

selected. When both parts are on, the note played on the keyboard is

sounded by the RIGHT 1 part and the harmonies (effect) are divided to

the RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts. When only one part is on, the note

played on the keyboard and effect are sounded by that part.

RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2: Applies the effect to the selected part (RIGHT 1 or

RIGHT 2).

NOTE The settings for the Arpeggio Quantize function and the Arpeggio Hold function can be made on the display called up via [FUNCTION] → TAB [E]

MENU 1 → [J] UTILITY → TAB [E][F] CONFIG 2 (page 130).

[6 ] SPEED This parameter is only available when the “Echo” category (Echo, Trem-

olo, or Trill) is selected. It determines the speed of the Echo, Tremolo, and

Trill effects.

[7 ] CHORD NOTE

ONLY

This parameter is only available when the “Harmony” category is

selected. When this is set to “ON,” the Harmony effect is applied only to

the note (played in the right-hand section of the keyboard) that belongs to

a chord played in the chord section of the keyboard.

[8 ] TOUCH LIMIT It determines the lowest velocity value at which the Harmony, Echo,

Tremolo, or Trill note will sound. This allows you to selectively apply the

harmony by your playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in

the melody. The harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly

(above the set value).

 Preset Scale types

Pitch-Related Settings

EQUAL

The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each half-

step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today.

PURE MAJOR, PURE

MINOR

These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for

triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies—

such as choirs and a cappella singing.

PYTHAGOREAN

This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a

series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tun-

ing are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some

leads.

MEAN-TONE

This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the

major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century

to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.

WERCKMEISTER,

KIRNBERGER

This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which

were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The

main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale

was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is

often used when performing period music on the harpsichord.

ARABIC1, ARABIC2

Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.

The tuning of each note for

the currently selected scale

is shown.

3 Press the [4 ]/[5 ] buttons to select the desired part assignment.

The assignment can be confirmed by the pop-up display called up via the TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons.

[2 ] BASE NOTE Determines the base note for each scale. When the base note is changed,

the pitch of the keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch

relationship between the notes.

[3 ]/

[4 ]

TUNE Select the desired note to be tuned by using the [3 ] buttons and tune

it in cents by using the [4 ] buttons.

NOTE In musical terms a “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone. (100 cents equal one semitone.)

[5 ]–

[8 ]

PART SELECT Determines whether the Scale Tune setting is applied to each part or not.

KEYBOARD The TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons affect the pitch of keyboard played Voices,

Style playback (controlled by the performance in the chord section of the key-

board), and Multi Pad playback (when Chord Match is on, and left-hand chords

are indicated)—but they do not affect Song playback.

SONG The TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons affect only the pitch of Song playback.

MASTER The TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons affect the overall pitch of the instrument,

except audio playback.

Voices

The Voice Set function allows you to create your own Voices by editing some parameters of the existing

Voices. Once you’ve created a Voice, you can save it as a file to internal memory (USER drive) or a USB

flash drive for future recall.

1 Select the desired Voice (other than an Organ Flutes Voice).

Organ Flutes Voices have a different editing method than described here. For instructions on editing the

Organ Flutes Voices, see page 20.

2 In the Voice Selection display, press the [5 ] (VOICE SET) button of MENU 1 to call

up the VOICE SET display.

3 Use the TAB [E][F] buttons to call up the relevant setting page.

For information on the available parameters in each page, see the “Editable Parameters in the VOICE SET

Displays” on page 16.

4 As necessary, use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the item (parameter) to be edited and

edit the Voice by using the [1 ]–[8 ] buttons.

By pressing the [D] (COMPARE) button, you can compare the sound of the edited Voice with the original

(unedited) Voice.

5 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to save your edited Voice.

For details on the Save operation, refer to “Basic Operations” in the Owner’s Manual.

Editable Parameters in the VOICE SET Displays

The Voice Set parameters are organized into five different pages. The parameters in each page are described

separately, below.

NOTE The available parameters differ depending on the Voice.

 COMMON Page

[1 ] VOLUME Adjusts the volume of the current edited Voice.

[2 ]/

[3 ]

TOUCH SENSE Adjusts the touch sensitivity (velocity sensitivity), or how greatly the vol-

ume responds to your playing strength.

DEPTH: Determines the velocity sensitivity, or how much the level of the

Voice changes in response to your playing strength (velocity).

OFFSET: Determines the amount by which received velocities are

adjusted for the actual velocity effect.

[4 ]/

[5 ]

PART OCTAVE Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves. When

the edited Voice is used as any of the RIGHT 1–2 parts, the R1/R2 param-

eter is available; when the edited Voice is used as the LEFT part, the

LEFT parameter is available.

[6 ] MONO/POLY Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically or poly-

phonically. This setting can also be made from the VOICE EFFECT

[MONO] button on the panel.

[7 ] MONO TYPE Determines the behavior of the notes of decaying sounds, such as a guitar,

when they are played with legato with the edited Voice set to MONO

above.

When NORMAL is selected, the next note sounds after the previous note

is stopped. When LEGATO is selected, the sound of the previously played

note is maintained and only the pitch changes to that of the next note.

NOTE This parameter is unavailable for Super Articulation Voices, Organ Flute Voices and Drum/SFX Kit

Voices, and behaves the same as the NORMAL setting when these Voices are selected.

NOTE When LEGATO is selected, the behavior (other than what is described here) may be different from

NORMAL, depending on the panel settings.

[8 ] PORTAMENTO

TIME

Determines the pitch transition time when the edited Voice is set to

MONO above.

NOTE Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the

keyboard to the next.

 CONTROLLER Page

MODULATION

The [MODULATION] wheel can be used to modulate the parameters below as well as the pitch (vibrato).

Here, you can set the degree to which the [MODULATION] wheel modulates each of the following

parameters.

 SOUND Page

FILTER

Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking or passing a specific

frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a

certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be used to

produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects.

[2 ] FILTER Determines the degree to which the [MODULATION] wheel modulates

the Filter Cutoff Frequency. For details about the filter, see below.

[3 ] AMPLITUDE Determines the degree to which the [MODULATION] wheel modulates

the amplitude (volume).

[5 ] LFO PMOD Determines the degree to which the [MODULATION] wheel modulates

the pitch, or the vibrato effect.

[6 ] LFO FMOD Determines the degree to which the [MODULATION] wheel modulates

the Filter modulation, or the wah effect.

[7 ] LFO AMOD Determines the degree to which the [MODULATION] wheel modulates

the amplitude, or the tremolo effect.

[1 ] BRIGHT.

(Brightness)

Determines the cutoff frequency or

effective frequency range of the fil-

ter (see diagram). Higher values

result in a brighter sound.

[2 ]HARMO.

(Harmonic Con-

tent)

Determines the emphasis given to

the cutoff frequency (resonance),

set in BRIGHT. above (see dia-

gram). Higher values result in a

more pronounced effect.

Volume

These frequencies are

“passed” by the filter.

EG

The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the

sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound

characteristics of natural acoustic instruments—such as the quick

attack and decay of percussion sounds, or the long release of a

sustained piano tone.

VIBRATO

Vibrato is a quavering, vibrating sound effect that is produced by

regularly modulating the pitch of the Voice.

 EFFECT/EQ Page

1 REVERB DEPTH/CHORUS DEPTH/DSP DEPTH/PANEL SUSTAIN

[3 ] ATTACK Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the

key is played. The lower the value, the quicker the attack.

[4 ] DECAY Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly

lower level than maximum). The lower the value, the quicker the decay.

[5 ] RELEASE Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is

released. The lower the value, the quicker the decay.

[6 ] DEPTH Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings result in a

more pronounced Vibrato.

[7 ] SPEED Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect.

[8 ] DELAY Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing of a key

and the start of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings increase the delay of the

Vibrato onset.
