Voice-Related Settings and Functions
When a Main, Dual or Left Voice is selected, suitable Voice parameters—such as Voice
Volume or effect send level—for each Voice are automatically recalled. However, you
can change these parameters as desired. This chapter explains how to set the Voice
parameters for each Voice and how to make other settings related to the keyboard per-
formance.
You can adjust the volume balance or other Voice parameters among Main, Dual and
Left Voices. You can also memorize the settings here to the Registration Memory for
easy and convenient future recall.

Memorize the settings here to the Registration Memory as desired.
If you select a different keyboard Voice without saving, the parameters will be

The following two types of Voices can be used by this instrument.
Voice Characteristics
The Voice type and its defining characteristics are indicated in the Voice name.
Live! .............These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to produce a
truly authentic, rich sound—full of atmosphere and ambience.
Cool!.............These Voices capture the dynamic textures and subtle nuances of electric
instruments—thanks to a huge amount of memory and some very sophis-
ticated programming.
Sweet!...........These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha’s sophisti-
cated technology, and feature extremely detailed, natural and authentic
sound.
Kit.................Various drum and percussion sounds and special effect sounds are
assigned to individual keys.
Mega.............Mega Voices make special use of velocity switching. Each velocity range
(the measure of your playing strength) has a completely different sound.
For example, a guitar Mega Voice includes the sounds of various perfor-
mance 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 Mega Voices, a convincing
guitar part can be played with just a single Voice, using specific velocity
values to play the desired sounds. Because of the complex nature of these
Voices and the precise velocities need to play the sounds, they’re not
intended for playing from the keyboard. They are, however, very useful
and convenient when creating MIDI data—especially when you want to
avoid using several different Voices just for a single instrument part.
Voice Types
Preset Voices Voices built into the instrument
Expansion Voices Voices saved into the instrument by installing the Expansion Pack

• Mega Voices are unique to
this instrument and are not
compatible with other mod-
els. Any Song or Style data
you’ve created on this instru-
ment using these Voices will
not sound properly when
played back on other instru-
ments.
• Mega Voices sound differ-
ently depending on the key-
board range, velocity, touch,
etc. Hence, if you apply
effects, change the trans-
pose setting or change the
Voice parameters, unex-
pected or undesired sounds
may result.

In addition to the Reverb and Chorus effects, a wide variety of DSP (Digital Signal
Processor) effects let you enhance the sound, or completely transform it. Some DSP
types can be applied only to notes you play on the keyboard while the Reverb and
Chorus effects are applied to the entire instrument sound. When you select a Main
Voice, the optimum DSP Type for the Voice used is automatically selected. If you
want to select a different DSP type, use the procedure described below.

Memorize the settings here to the Registration Memory as desired.
If you select a different Style without saving, the settings in steps 3 will be

Selecting a DSP type
• DSP is an acronym for Digi-
tal Signal Processor and it
uses a micro processor to
change the audio in various
ways.
NOTE
• The volume of the currently
playing Voice changes when
turning DSP on or off. This is
not a malfunction. The
amount of change differs
depending on the selected
Voice.
• The DSP type is an overall
setting—only one type can
be selected. For this reason,
when you play a newly
loaded Song or Style, for
example, the currently play-
ing Voices may not sound as
expected. This is normal,
since the Song or Style has
its own DSP type which
replaces any selection
you’ve made before loading.
A similar phenomenon
occurs when you use the
[
f
], [
r
] buttons or A-B
Repeat function during
Song playback.

Harmony/Effect-Related Settings
Voice Sound and Effect Type
You can select one type from each effect (Reverb, Chorus and DSP) then individually
adjust the amount of effect that is applied to the Main, Dual, and Left Voices. How-
ever, the effect type cannot be applied independently to each Main, Dual or Left
Voice. Because of this, you should adjust the send level for each Voice when using
effects.
When the DSP function is on, the overall sound may be wrong or unexpected if the
Main Voice is changed. This is because the DSP type is automatically selected
according to the currently selected Main Voice and the same effect is applied to the
Dual Voice or Left Voice as well as the Main Voice. If you want to enhance the sound
using the DSP, determine the Main Voice first, then adjust the send level of the DSP
effect applied to each Voice.
The Reverb/Chorus type is automatically selected according to the currently selected
Style or Song, and the same effect is applied to the Dual Voice or Left Voice as well
as the Main Voice. If you want to create a custom sound using a favorite Voice, deter-
mine the Voices, effects and Voice parameters first, then memorize the settings to the
Registration Memory without changing the Style or Song.

Set the point on the keyboard that separates the right and left-hand sections (Split Point). When Auto Accompani-
ment is off, keys played in the left-hand section are used for playing the Left Voice. When Auto Accompaniment
is on, the left-hand section becomes the Chord section (Auto Accompaniment range) and the chords played in the
Chord section produce an appropriate Auto Accompaniment playback, and add the Harmony effect to the notes
played in the right-hand section.
The initial default Split Point is key number 54 (the F sharp 2 key), but you can change it to another key using the
procedure described below.

When the Auto Accompaniment is turned on and Synchro Start is off, you can play chords in the Auto Accompa-
niment range of the keyboard with the style stopped, and still hear the accompaniment chord. In this condition —
called “Stop Accompaniment” — any valid chord fingerings are recognized and the chord root/type are shown in
the display. Since the instrument properly recognizes chords, you can also use the Harmony effect without having
to play back a Style.
The following four types of Styles can be used by this instrument.
The chart below shows the basic operation flow for using the preset Styles, User Styles, loaded Styles and USB
