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 apply Harmony/Arpeggio (page 6), change the
transpose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.
You can set the time signature, volume and sound of the metronome.

Live! SFX Stereo sampling is used for these high definition special percussion and sound
effects, which are mapped across the keyboard so you can play them directly, or
use in music production.
Organ Flutes * See the Owner’s Manual, Chapter 1.
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 velocities need to
play the sounds, they’re not intended for playing from the keyboard. 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.
