TERMINOLOGY
Voice
On the Clavinova, a voice means
"tone" or "tonal color."
TIP
You can also switch between
voices in the same group by
pressing a voice group button
repeatedly.
TIP
To learn characteristics of the
voices, listen to demo songs for
each voice group (page 17). Refer
to "Preset Voice List" on page 114 for
more information on characteristics
of each preset voice.
TIP
You can control the loudness of a
voice by how hard you play the
keyboard, although different playing
styles (touch sensitivities) have little
or no effect with the sound of certain
musical instruments. Refer to "Preset
Voice List" on page 114.
TIP
XG is a major enhancement of the
GM System level 1 format, and was
developed by Yamaha specially to
provide more voices and
variations, as well as greater
expressive control over voices and
effects, and to ensure compatibility
of data well into the future.
