The particular type of a Voice is classified into nine kinds. The defining characteristics of these Voices and their
performance advantages are described below.

Voice Types (Characteristics)
S.Art Voice
(Super Articulation Voices)
The S.Art Voices enable you to create subtle, very realistic musical expressions, simply by how you
play the keyboard or use the foot controller in real-time. “S.Art” is indicated at the upper left of the
Voice name in the Voice Selection display when selected. To confirm what playing techniques are
effective with specific S.Art Voices, press the [6 ] (Info) button shown in the display of the
selected S.Art Voice. For details, refer to page 36.
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 fea-
ture a finely detailed and natural sound.
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.
Live Drums These are high-quality drum sounds that take full advantage of Stereo Sampling and Dynamic Sam-
pling.
Live SFX These are various high-quality special effect sounds and percussion sounds that take full advantage
of Stereo Sampling and Dynamic Sampling.
MegaVoice MegaVoice is a special Voice format designed for use in styles and songs, not for live performance.
Different velocity ranges are used to select dramatically different playing styles simultaneously,
and without changing the voice.
Actual sound maps for the MegaVoices are provided in the “MegaVoices Map” in the Data List on
the website.
NOTE
• The MegaVoices are not compatible with other kinds of Voices. 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.
• MegaVoices sound differently depending on keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you turn on the [HARMONY/
ARPEGGIO] button or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.
