S.Art2 Voices
Some of the wind instrument and strings Voices feature a special technology called AEM,
which utilizes detailed samples of special expressive techniques used on those specific
instruments—to bend or slide into notes, to “join” different notes together, or to add
expressive nuances at the end of a note, etc. You can add these articulations by playing
legato or non-legato, or jumping between notes in octave intervals or greater.
Example: Clarinet Voice
If you hold a C note and play the Bb above, you’ll hear a glissando up to the Bb. Some
“note off” effects are also produced automatically when you hold a note for over a cer-
tain time.
Adding articulation effects by the [ART. 1]–[ART. 3] buttons
When you select a Super Articulation Voice, the [ART. 1]/[ART. 2]/[ART. 3] buttons may light in blue. Pressing a lit but-
ton adds the effect (buttons not lit have no effect).
Below are three examples of Super Articulation Effects by the buttons.
Example 1
Pressing the available [ART] button triggers different playing effects and techniques, separate from your keyboard play-
ing.
For example, pressing the [ART] button for a S.Art saxophone Voice can produce breath noise or key noise, while doing
the same for a S.Art guitar Voice can produce fret noise or body-tapping sound. You can effectively intersperse these into
the notes as you play.
While the articulation effect sounds, the button lights in red.
Example 2
Playing the keyboard while holding down the available [ART] button changes the nature of the Voice.
For example, in the case of the NylonGuitar Voice in A.GUITAR category, holding down the [ART. 1] button lets you
play harmonics for the guitar Voice. Releasing the button returns the Voice to normal.
The button lights in red while it is being held down.
AEM (Articulation Element Modeling) is
a technology that simulates the sound
of acoustic instruments naturally by
smoothly joining the most appropriate
sound samples selected from the data
base in real time during performance.
NOTE
Each S.Art2 Voice has its own default
vibrato setting, so that when you select
a S.Art2 Voice, the appropriate vibrato
is applied. You can adjust the vibrato by
moving up or down the Joystick.
