Natural! Voices are high quality sounds on many specialist sampling techniques.
They are especially suited to recreating Piano and other keyboard instruments.
Live! Voices feature stereo sampling, to reproduce accurately the stereo image of
an acoustic instrument, as well as the ambience of the room it was recorded in.
Cool! Voices reproduce the complex characteristics of Electric Instruments, by
utilizing sophisticated programming techniques in both voicing, and the use of
DSP effects.
Sweet! Voices are acoustic instruments which feature the sampled vibrato of the
original player, creating a far more realistic and emotional performance than
synthesized vibrato.
Drum & Percussion instruments are mapped across the keyboard so you can play
them directly, or use in music production.
Stereo sampling is used for these high definition Drum and Percussion
instruments, which are mapped across the keyboard so you can play them directly,
or use in music production.
Special percussion and sound effects are mapped across the keyboard, so you can
play them directly, or use in music production.
Stereo sampling is used for these high definition special percussion and sound
effects, which are mapped across the keyboard so you can play them directly, or
use in music production.
MegaVoice is a special Voice format designed for use in Styles and Songs, not for
live performance. Different velocity ranges are used to select dramatically
different playing styles simultaneously, and without changing the Voice.
Actual sound maps for the MegaVoices are given in the Data List (separate PDF).
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.
MegaVoices sound differently depending on keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you apply keyboard
harmony (page 7), change the transpose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired
sounds may result.
