There are various Voice characteristics; however, only the following ones are covered here. For detailed explanations, refer to the Reference Manual on the website. • / : Super Articulation (SA, SA2) Voices The word “articulation” in music usually refers to the transition or continuity between notes.
Setting the Split Point The key which divides the keyboard into two or three areas is referred to as “Split Point.” There are two types of Split Point: “Left Split Point” and “Style Split Point.” The “Left Split Point” divides the keyboard into the Left Voice area and Main Voice area while the “Style Split Point” divides the keyboard into the Chord area and the Main or Left Voice area. Though both Split Points are at the same key (F#2) by default, you can also set them individually (as shown).
Playing Super Articulation Voices The Super Articulation Voices (SA Voices and SA2 Voices) enable you to create subtle, very realistic musical expressions, simply by how you play. SA Voices The SA Voices provide many benefits with great playability and expressive control in real time. Example: Saxophone Voice If you play a C note and then an adjacent D in a very legato way, you will hear the note change seamlessly, as though a saxophone player played it in a single breath.
Creating Original Organ Flutes Voices The instrument uses advanced digital technology to recreate the legendary sound of vintage organs. Just as on a traditional organ, you can create your own sound by increasing and decreasing the levels of the flute footages. The created Voice can be saved for future recall. 1 On the Voice Selection display, select the desired Organ Flutes Voice.
Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – The instrument features a variety of accompaniment and rhythmic backing patterns (called “Styles”) in a variety of different musical genres including pop, jazz, and many others. Each Style features Auto Accompaniment, letting you produce automatic accompaniment playback simply by playing “chords” with your left hand. This lets you automatically recreate the sound of a full band or orchestra — even if you’re playing by yourself.
3 Make sure that the STYLE CONTROL [ACMP ON/OFF] button is turned on. When turned on, the specific left-hand section of the keyboard can be used as the Chord section, and chords played in this section are automatically detected and used as a basis for fully automatic accompaniment with the selected Style.
