Voice Characteristics
At the left side of each Voice name on the Voice Selection display, the icon which represents its
defining characteristic is indicated.
There are various Voice characteristics; however, only the following ones are covered here. For
detailed explanations, refer to the Reference Manual on the website.
• / : Super Articulation (SA, SA2) Voices
The word "articulation" in music usually refers to the transition or continuity between notes. This is often
reflected in specific performance techniques, such as staccato, legato and slur. For details, refer to page 46.
• : Organ Flutes Voices
Lets you recreate all of the classic organ sounds by adjusting the flute footage levels and the percussive
sounds, just like on conventional organs. For details, refer to page 47.
• / : Drum Voices,
Lets you play various drums and percussion instruments or SFX (sound effects) sounds on the keyboard.
Details are given in the Drum/Key Assignment List of the separate Data List.

/ : SFX Voices
NOTE
• SA and SA2 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 these
Voices will not sound properly
when played back on other
instruments.
• SA and SA2 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 Settings,
unexpected or undesired
sounds may result.
• The characteristics of SA2
Voices (default vibrato setting
and articulation effects applied
by the pedals) are effective for
real-time performance;
however, these effects may not
be completely reproduced
when you play back a Song
which has been recorded
using SA2 Voices.
