These rich and luscious Voices are comprised mostly of keyboard
instrument sounds and are especially intended for playing piano and
other keyboard parts. They also take full advantage of Yamaha's
advanced sampling technology such as Stereo Sampling, Dynamic
Sampling, Sustain Sampling, and Key-off Sampling.
These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to produce a
truly authentic, rich sound-full of atmosphere and ambience.
These Voices capture the dynamic textures and subtle nuances of elec-
tric instruments-thanks to a huge amount of memory and some very
sophisticated programming.
