Playing and Controlling Super Articulation Voices

The Super Articulation Voices (S.Art Voices and S.Art2 Voices) enable you to create sub-
tle, very realistic expressive nuances, simply by how you play. The Voice type (S.Art,
S.Art2) is indicated above the name of Super Articulation Voices, on the Voice Selection
display. Moreover, with the [ART. 1]/[ART. 2]/[ART. 3] buttons in this instrument, you
can add those expressive nuances by simply pressing a single button.
Automatic articulation effects of Super Articulation Voices
 S.Art Voices
The S.Art Voices provide many benefits with great playability and expressive real-time control.
Example: Saxophone Voice
If you play a C note and then an adjacent D in a very legato way, you will hear the note
change seamlessly, as though a saxophone player played it in a single breath.
Example: Concert Guitar Voice
If you play a C note and then the E just above in a very legato but firm way, the pitch
slides up from C to E.
 S.Art2 Voices
Some of the wind instrument and strings Voices feature a special technology called AEM,
which utilizes detailed samples of special expressive techniques used on those specific
instruments—to bend or slide into notes, to "join" different notes together, or to add
expressive nuances at the end of a note, etc. You can add these articulations by playing
legato or non-legato, or jumping between notes in octave intervals or greater.
Example: Clarinet Voice
If you hold a C note and play the Bb above, you'll hear a glissando up to the Bb. Some
"note off" effects are also produced automatically when you hold a note for over a cer-
tain time.
NOTE
The applied articulation effect differs
depending on the selected Voice. For
details, refer to the Data List on the web-
site.
NOTE
AEM (Articulation Element Modeling) is
a technology that simulates the sound
of acoustic instruments naturally by
smoothly joining the most appropriate
sound samples selected from the data
base in real time during performance.
NOTE
Each S.Art2 Voice has its own default
vibrato setting, so that when you select
a S.Art2 Voice, the appropriate vibrato
is applied. You can adjust the vibrato by
moving up or down the Joystick.
