TERMINOLOGY
Voice
On the Clavinova, a voice
means "tone" or "tonal color."
You can also switch between
voices in the same group by
pressing a voice group but-
ton repeatedly.
To learn characteristics of
the voices, listen to demo
songs for each voice group
(page 24). Refer to "Preset
Voice List" on page 111 for
more information on charac-
teristics of each preset voice.
You can control the loudness of
a voice by how hard you play
the keyboard, although differ-
ent playing styles (touch sensi-
tivities) have little or no effect
with the sound of certain musi-
cal instruments. Refer to "Pre-
set Voice List" on page 111.
XG is a major enhancement
of the GM System level 1
format, and was developed
by Yamaha specially to pro-
vide more voices and varia-
tions, as well as greater
expressive control over
voices and effects, and to
ensure compatibility of data
well into the future.
If you select XG and then
simultaneously press the
VARIATION [ ][ ] buttons,
the XG voice select screen
will appear.
