Assigned key Explanation
C4 A sample taken from the Yamaha concert grand
piano. This voice offers a broad range of
expression, from a delicate pianissimo to an
intense fortissimo, and reproduces the
expansive feeling produced by the reverberation
of the strings when you use the damper pedal.
D4 This voice is often used in baroque music.
Volume and tone do not respond to changes in
touch. This voice also provides a realistic
reproduction of the sound produced when a
key is released on a real harpsichord.
E4 A vibraphone struck with relatively light
mallets.
F4 The magnificent pipe organ made famous by
Bach's "Toccata and Fugue".
G4 The keyboard-style glockenspiel renowned for
its appearances in works such as "The Dance of
the Sugar-Plum Fairy" from Tchaikovsky's
"Nutcracker Suite". Its delicate music-box like
sound is charming, and with a register one
octave higher than that of a piano, the celesta
allows you to enjoy the pleasures of the treble
register.
A4 A string section, redolent with atmosphere.
This voice is very effective when used in dual
mode together with the piano voice.
C#4 An electric piano voice from an FM synthesizer,
of the kind often used in popular music. This
voice is also effective when used in dual mode
together with the piano voice.
D#4 A hammer-and-metal style piano voice, which
responds dynamically to the player's touch
from a soft tone when played gently to a lightly
distorted tone when played with more force.
This is used extensively in pop and jazz.
F#4 A rotary organ voice used widely in jazz and
rock.
G#4 The sound of a choir singing in a large space.
This voice is also effective when used in dual
mode together with the piano voice.
Variation
There is no variation setting for piano.
The left pedal provides a soft (shifted)
pedal effect.
Sound from strings an octave above
those you are playing is blended into
the overall mix, for a brighter, more
effusive sound.
A vibraphone with vibrato induced by
rotating fans.
A relaxed principal-style organ of the
type often used in church music from
the Baroque era.
Voice with a register adjusted to the
same as the piano.
This variation reduces the attack of the
sound slightly.
A chorus effect adds an increased
feeling of spaciousness to the sound.
Adds a phaser effect to the tone for an
increased feeling of spaciousness.
Press the left pedal to switch the speed
of the rotary speaker (vibrato) to high.
