Description
Four-channel Voice featuring multi sampling of Yamaha's CFX
flagship concert grand piano sound, with wide dynamic range for
maximum expressive control. It is suitable for playing in any
music genre and style. When headphones are connected, this
Voice is automatically changed to "Binaural CFX Grand" (below).
Yamaha's CFX flagship concert grand piano sound sampled by
Binaural Sampling, the method optimized for headphone use.
Listening this through headphones gives the impression of being
immersed in the sound, as if it was actually emanating from the
piano. This Voice is selected automatically when headphones are
connected. Refer to page 15 for details. (This Voice cannot be
selected following the procedure of "Selecting a Voice" instruc-
tions above.)
The sound of the famed Vienna-made Bösendorfer flagship
grand piano, utilizing four-channel sampling. This Voice has a rich
and captivating sound, ideal for expressing the most delicate and
tender musical passages.
Bright piano sound. Good for clear expression and "cutting
through" other instruments in an ensemble.
The Bösendorfer grand piano sound with a lively attack and bril-
liant presence.
A bright, richly metallic sound ideal for pop music styles and for
playing in ensembles.
The sound of an electric piano using hammer-struck metallic
"tines." Soft tone when played lightly, and an aggressive tone
when played hard.

Widely used in rock and popular music.

Variations in playing touch will not affect the volume, and a char-
acteristic sound will be heard when you release the key.
A harpsichord with an added upper octave. Produces a more bril-
liant sound. Variations in playing touch will not affect the volume.
The sound of a celesta (a percussion instrument in which ham-
mers strike metallic bars to produce sound). This instrument is
well-known for its appearance in "Dance of the Sugarplum Fair-
ies" from Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite."
This Voice features the combination of pipes (8'+4'+2') of a prin-
cipal (brass instrument) organ. It is suitable for Baroque church
music.
This Voice features a full coupler of a pipe organ, famous for the
sound used in "Toccata and Fugue" by Bach.
The sound of a "tonewheel" type electric organ. Sampled with
Rotary SP effect, its rotation speed is slow. Often heard in jazz
and rock idioms.
A pipe organ sound that combines flute-type (woodwind type)
stops of different pitches (8'+4'). This is a gentle sound that is
ideal for accompanying hymns.
