VOICE/SONG [BACK<<] or [>>NEXT]
Recorded samples from a full concert grand piano. Perfect for clas-
sical compositions as well as any other style that requires acoustic
piano.
Clear piano with bright reverb. Good for popular music.
An electronic piano sound created by FM synthesis. Good for
popular music.
The sound of an electric piano using hammer-struck metallic "tines."
Soft tone when played lightly, and an aggressive tone when played
hard.
This is a typical pipe organ sound (8' + 4' + 2'). Good for sacred music
from the Baroque period.
This is the organ's full coupler sound, often associated with Bach's
"Toccata and Fugue."
Spacious and large-scale string ensemble. Try combining this voice
with piano in DUAL.
The definitive instrument for baroque music. Since the strings of a
harpsichord are plucked, there is no touch response.
Mixes the same voice an octave higher for a more brilliant tone.
The sound of a vibraphone played with relatively soft mallets.
