sical compositions as well as any other style that requires acoustic
piano.
C#1 Grand Piano 2 Clear piano with bright reverb. Good for popular music.
D1 E.Piano 1 An electronic piano sound created by FM synthesis. Good for
popular music.
D#1 E.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.
E1 Church Organ 1 This is a typical pipe organ sound (8' + 4' + 2'). Good for sacred
music from the Baroque period.
F1 Church Organ 2 This is the organ's full coupler sound, often associated with Bach's
"Toccata and Fugue."
F#1 Strings Spacious and large-scale string ensemble. Try combining this voice
with piano in DUAL.

harpsichord are plucked, there is no touch response.
G#1 Harpsichord 2 Mixes the same voice an octave higher for a more brilliant tone.
A1 Vibraphone The sound of a vibraphone played with relatively soft mallets.
