• S.Art and MegaVoices are not compatible with other instrument models. For this reason, any Song or Style you've created on this instrument using these Voices will not

sound properly when played back on the instruments which do not have these types of Voices.

• S.Art and MegaVoices sound differently depending on keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you turn on the [HARMONY/ARPEGGIO] button, change the trans-

pose setting or change the Voice Edit parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.

tains previous Yamaha keyboards' Voices (such as the PSR-S series) for data compatibility with other models.

These Voices provide many benefits with great playability and expressive control in real time.

For example, with the Saxophone Voice, if you play a C and then a D in a very legato way, you will

hear the note change seamlessly, as though a saxophone player played it in a single breath.

Similarly with the 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. Depending on how you play, other effects such

as "shaking" or breath noises (for the Trumpet Voice), or finger noises (for the Guitar Voice) are

produced.

These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to produce a truly authentic, rich

sound—full of atmosphere and ambience.

These Voices use sophisticated programming to capture the dynamic textures and subtle nuances of

electric instruments.

These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha's sophisticated technology, and feature

a finely detailed and natural sound.

Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds

from the keyboard.

Various special effect sounds and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you

play the sounds from the keyboard.

These are high-quality drum sounds that take full advantage of Stereo Sampling and Dynamic Sam-

pling.

These authentic organ Voices let you adjust the various footages and craft your own original organ

sounds. See

for details.

These Voices make special use of velocity switching. Each velocity range (the measure of your

playing strength) has a completely different sound.

For example, a guitar MegaVoice includes the sounds of various performance techniques. In con-

ventional instruments, different Voices having those sounds would be called up via MIDI and

played in combination to achieve the desired effect. However, now with MegaVoices, a convincing

guitar part can be played with just a single Voice, using specific velocity values to play the desired

sounds. Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise velocities need to play the

sounds, they're not intended for playing from the keyboard. They are, however, very useful and

convenient when creating MIDI data—especially when you want to avoid using several different

Voices just for a single instrument part.
