Keyboard Mega Voices
Normal voices use velocity switching to make the sound quality and/or level of a voice according to how strongly or softly you play it. This makes the voices
sound authentic and natural. However, with Keyboard Mega Voices, each velocity range (the measure of your playing strength) has a completely different
sound. For example, a guitar voice includes the sounds of various performance techniques. In conventional instruments, different voices having those
sounds would be called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the desired effect. However, now with Keyboard Mega voices, a convincing guitar
part can be played with just a single voice, using specific velocity values to play the desired sounds.
