Playing Super Articulation Voices

The Super Articulation Voices enable you to create subtle, very realistic musical expressions, simply by how
you play. "S.Art!" is shown above the Voice name of Super Articulation Voices on the Voice Selection
display or the Main display.
For performance instructions, you can call up the Information window of the selected Super Articulation
Voice by pressing the [6
NOTE
If the button is not shown, press the [8D] (Close) button to call it up.
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: 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.
Adding Articulation Effects by Using the Pedal Unit (sold separately)
When you select a Super Articulation Voice for the Main part, the function of the center or/and left pedals are
switched to control articulation effects. Pressing a pedal triggers different playing effects, separate from your
keyboard playing. For example, pressing a pedal for a saxophone Voice can produce breath noises or key noises,
while doing the same for a guitar Voice can produce fret noises or body-tapping sounds. You can effectively
intersperse these into the notes as you play.
NOTE
If you want to lock the pedal function regardless of the Voice, turn off the Switch with Main Voice parameter. The operation display
can be called up via [MENU]  Cursor buttons [U][D][L][R] Controller, [ENTER]  TAB [R] Setting  Cursor button [D] 3 Switch
with Main Voice.
NOTE
• Super Articulation Voices are only compatible with other models which have those types of Voices installed. Any Song or Style data
you've created on the instrument using this Voice will not sound properly when played back on other instruments.
• Super Articulation Voices sound differently depending on the keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you turn on a Keyboard
Harmony effect, change the transpose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.
