Using Ensemble Voices - Yamaha genos Owner's Manual

Using Ensemble Voices

These are special settings of the keyboard parts that feature multiple Voices, used in realistic ensemble combinations,
such as brass section and string quartet. Up to four special parts or instruments are provided within a single Voice. But
rather than just being a combination, the parts are dynamically assigned to the notes, and are distributed among the inter-
vals you play in exceptionally natural, musical ways—as if four different players were actually playing the parts live.
Moreover, the discrepancy between each instrument—the pitch, timing, etc.—can be controlled and "humanized," mak-
ing the overall sound amazingly authentic and expressive.
In this mode, the Keyboard parts (L, R1, R2 and R3) are changed into special Ensemble Parts 1–4 respectively. Since all
the Ensemble Parts are handled as Right parts, the Left hand part is not available in this mode, although the Auto Accom-
paniment can be turned on and Styles can be played with the left hand.
