Preset Voice List
No. Voice Explanation
1 Piano This sound was sampled from the Yamaha CFX concert grand piano. It uses different
samples depending on the strength of your playing and produces smoother tonal changes.
Even the tonal changes produced by the damper pedal and the subtle sounds of releasing
a key are reproduced. When using the Silent Piano™ function, the sympathetic vibration
(String Resonance) that occurs among the strings of an acoustic piano has also been
simulated. Suitable not only for classical compositions but also for piano pieces of any style.
2 Electric Piano 1 An electronic piano sound produced by an FM synthesizer. The tone will change as you
vary your playing touch. Ideal for popular music.
Pressing the soft pedal/shift pedal switches between on and off of the chorus effect.
3 Electric Piano 2 The sound of an electric piano using hammer-struck metallic “tines.” Soft tone when played
lightly, and an aggressive tone when played hard.
Pressing the soft pedal/shift pedal switches between on and off of the chorus effect.
4 Electric Piano 3 A different type of electric piano sound. Widely used in rock and popular music.
Pressing the soft pedal/shift pedal switches between on and off of the chorus effect.
5 Harpsichord 1 The sound of the instrument frequently used in baroque music. Variations in playing touch
will not affect the volume, and a characteristic sound will be heard when you release the
key.
6 Harpsichord 2 A harpsichord with an added upper octave. Produces a more brilliant sound.
7 Vibraphone Vibraphone played with relatively soft mallets. The tone becomes more metallic the harder
you play.
Pressing the soft pedal/shift pedal switches between on and off of the vibrato.
