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)

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.

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.

Actual sound maps for the MegaVoices are provided in the “Mega Voices

Map” in the Data List on the website.

Voices

NOTE 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 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.

This instrument features Voices provided specially for XG/GM compatibility. These Voices cannot be called

up directly from the VOICE category selection buttons. However, they can be called up as described below.

1 Press one of the VOICE category selection buttons (other than the [EXPANSION/

USER] button) to call up the Voice Selection display.

2 Press the [8 ] (UP) button to call up the Voice categories.

3 Use the Cursor buttons [][][E][F] to select the “GM&XG” (P1) or “GM2” (P2)

folder, then press the [ENTER] button.

4 Use the Cursor buttons [][][E][F] to select the desired Voice category folder, then

press the [ENTER] button.

5 Use the Cursor buttons [][][E][F] to select the desired Voice, then press the

[ENTER] button.

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.

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.

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.

RIGHT1, RIGHT2: Applies the effect to the selected part (RIGHT 1 or

RIGHT 2).

[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, trem-

olo, or trill will sound. This allows you to selectively apply the harmony

by your playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the mel-

ody. The harmony, echo, tremolo, or trill effect is applied when you play

the key strongly (above the set value).

 Preset Scale types

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.

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.

 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

1 FILTER/EG

• 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.

• 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.

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.

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

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

played monophonically or polyphonically. When MONO is selected, the

part’s Voice is played monophonically (only one note at the time) with last

note priority, letting you play single, lead sounds such as brass instru-

ments more realistically. Depending on the Voice, Portamento may be

produced when notes are played with legato. When POLY is selected, the

part’s Voice is played polyphonically.

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

keyboard to the next.

Style Types (Characteristics)

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

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

• Pro: These Styles provide professional and exciting arrangements combined with perfect playability. The

resulting accompaniment exactly follows the chords of the player. As a result, your chord changes and

colorful harmonies are instantly transformed into lifelike musical accompaniment.

• Session: These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types

and changes, as well as special riffs with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been pro-

grammed to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain songs and in certain

genres. Keep in mind, however, that the Styles may not necessarily be appropriate—or even harmonically

correct—for all songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad

for a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh chord, or playing an on-bass chord may result in inap-

propriate or unexpected accompaniment.

• DJ: These Styles can be selected from the category called up via the [DANCE & R&B] button. These con-

tain their own special chord progressions, so you can add chord changes to your performance simply by

changing the root key.

Keep in mind, however, that you cannot specify the chord type, such as major and minor, when using the

DJ Styles.

For the Preset Style List, refer to the Data List on the website.
