The particular type of Voice is indicated at the upper left of the Voice name in the Voice Selection display.
The defining characteristics of these Voices and their performance advantages are described below.
Voice Types (Characteristics)
S.Art!
(Super Articulation)
These Voices provide many benefits with great playability and expressive con-
trol in real time.
For example, with the Saxophone Voice, if you play a C and then a D in a very
legato way, you will hear the note change seamlessly, as though a saxophone
player played it in a single breath.
Similarly with the Concert Guitar Voice and play the D note strongly, the D
note would sound as a “hammer on,” without the string being plucked again.
Depending on how you play, other effects such as “shaking” or breath noises
(for the Trumpet Voice), or finger noises (for the Guitar Voice) are produced.
For details on how to best play each S.Art! Voice, call up the information win-
dow (pressing the [6 ] (INFO) button in the Voice Selection display).
Live! These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to produce a truly
authentic, rich sound—full of atmosphere and ambience.
Cool! These Voices use sophisticated programming to capture the dynamic textures
and subtle nuances of electric instruments.
Sweet! These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha’s sophisticated
technology—and feature a finely detailed and natural sound.

Voices
NOTE S.Art! and MegaVoices are not compatible with other instrument models. For this reason, any Song or Style you’ve created on this instrument using these
Voices will not sound properly when played back on the instruments which do not have these types of Voices.
NOTE S.Art! and MegaVoices sound differently depending on keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you turn on the [HARMONY/ARPEGGIO] button,
change the transpose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.
For a list of preset Voices of this instrument, refer to the “Voice List” in the Data List on the website.
Drums Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting
you play the sounds from the keyboard. For information about what sound is
assigned to each key, refer to the “Drum/SFX Kit List” in the Data List on the
website.
Live! Drums These are high-quality drum sounds that take full advantage of Stereo Sam-
pling and Dynamic Sampling.
SFX Various special effect sounds and percussion sounds are assigned to individual
keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. For information about
what sound is assigned to each key, refer to the “Drum/SFX Kit List” in the
Data List on the website.
Live! SFX These are various high-quality special effect sounds and percussion sounds that
take full advantage of Stereo Sampling and Dynamic sampling.
Organ Flutes! This authentic organ Voice lets you use the Voice Set to adjust the various foot-
ages and craft your own original organ sounds. See page 20 for details.
MegaVoice These 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 MegaVoice includes the sounds of various performance
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 MegaVoices, 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 veloci-
ties need to play the sounds, they’re not intended for playing from the key-
board. 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.
The MegaVoices are in the “MegaVoices” folder in the Voice Selection display.
For instructions on selecting MegaVoices, refer to the “Selecting GM&XG or
Other Voices” on page 5.

Setting the Touch Response of the Keyboard
Touch Response determines how the sound responds to your playing strength. The selected Touch Response
type becomes the common setting for all Voices.
NOTE Some Voices are purposely designed without Touch Response, in order to emulate the true characteristics of the actual instrument (for example, conventional
organs, which have no touch response).

MULTI: This parameter is available when the Harmony/Echo category is
selected. When both parts are on, the note played on the keyboard is
sounded by the RIGHT 1 part and the harmonies (effect) are divided to
the RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts. When only one part is on, the note
played on the keyboard and effect are sounded by that part.
RIGHT 1, RIGHT 2: Applies the effect to the selected part (RIGHT 1 or

selected. When this is set to “ON,” the Harmony effect is applied only to
the note (played in the right-hand section of the keyboard) that belongs to
a chord played in the chord section of the keyboard.
[8 ] TOUCH LIMIT It determines the lowest velocity value at which the Harmony, Echo,
Tremolo, or Trill note will sound. This allows you to selectively apply the
harmony by your playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in
the melody. The harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly
(above the set value).

Preset Scale types
Pitch-Related Settings
EQUAL
The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each half-
step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today.
PURE MAJOR, PURE
MINOR
These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for
triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies—
such as choirs and a cappella singing.
PYTHAGOREAN
This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a
series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tun-
ing are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some
leads.
MEAN-TONE
This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the
major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century
to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.
WERCKMEISTER,
KIRNBERGER
This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which
were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The
main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale
was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is
often used when performing period music on the harpsichord.
ARABIC1, ARABIC2
Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.

[2 ] BASE NOTE Determines the base note for each scale. When the base note is changed,
the pitch of the keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch
relationship between the notes.
[3 ]/
[4 ]
TUNE Select the desired note to be tuned by using the [3 ] buttons and tune
it in cents by using the [4 ] buttons.
NOTE In musical terms a “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone. (100 cents equal one semitone.)

Editable Parameters in the VOICE SET Displays
The Voice Set parameters are organized into five different pages. The parameters in each page are described
separately, below.
NOTE The available parameters differ depending on the Voice.
COMMON Page
[1 ] VOLUME Adjusts the volume of the current edited Voice.
[2 ]/
[3 ]
TOUCH SENSE Adjusts the touch sensitivity (velocity sensitivity), or how greatly the vol-
ume responds to your playing strength.
DEPTH: Determines the velocity sensitivity, or how much the level of the
Voice changes in response to your playing strength (velocity).
OFFSET: Determines the amount by which received velocities are
adjusted for the actual velocity effect.
[4 ]/
[5 ]
PART OCTAVE Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves. When
the edited Voice is used as any of the RIGHT 1–2 parts, the R1/R2 param-
eter is available; when the edited Voice is used as the LEFT part, the
LEFT parameter is available.
[6 ] MONO/POLY Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically or poly-
phonically. This setting can also be made from the VOICE EFFECT
[MONO] button on the panel.
[7 ] PORTAMENTO
TIME
Determines the pitch transition time when the edited Voice is set to
MONO above.
NOTE Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the
keyboard to the next.

CONTROLLER Page
MODULATION
The [MODULATION] wheel can be used to modulate the parameters below as well as the pitch (vibrato).
Here, you can set the degree to which the [MODULATION] wheel modulates each of the following
parameters.
SOUND Page
FILTER
Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking or passing a specific
frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a
certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be used to
produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects.
[2 ] FILTER Determines the degree to which the [MODULATION] wheel modulates
the Filter Cutoff Frequency. For details about the filter, see below.
[3 ] AMPLITUDE Determines the degree to which the [MODULATION] wheel modulates
the amplitude (volume).
[5 ] LFO PMOD Determines the degree to which the [MODULATION] wheel modulates
the pitch, or the vibrato effect.
[6 ] LFO FMOD Determines the degree to which the [MODULATION] wheel modulates
the Filter modulation, or the wah effect.
[7 ] LFO AMOD Determines the degree to which the [MODULATION] wheel modulates
the amplitude, or the tremolo effect.
[1 ] BRIGHT.
(Brightness)
Determines the cutoff frequency or
effective frequency range of the fil-
ter (see diagram). Higher values
result in a brighter sound.
[2 ]HARMO.
(Harmonic Con-
tent)
Determines the emphasis given to
the cutoff frequency (resonance),
set in BRIGHT. above (see dia-
gram). Higher values result in a
more pronounced effect.

EG
The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the
sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound
characteristics of natural acoustic instruments—such as the quick
attack and decay of percussion sounds, or the long release of a
sustained piano tone.
VIBRATO
Vibrato is a quavering, vibrating sound effect that is produced by
regularly modulating the pitch of the Voice.
EFFECT/EQ Page
1 REVERB DEPTH/CHORUS DEPTH/DSP DEPTH/PANEL SUSTAIN
[3 ] ATTACK Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the
key is played. The lower the value, the quicker the attack.
[4 ] DECAY Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly
lower level than maximum). The lower the value, the quicker the decay.
[5 ] RELEASE Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is
released. The lower the value, the quicker the decay.
[6 ] DEPTH Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings result in a
more pronounced Vibrato.
[7 ] SPEED Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect.
[8 ] DELAY Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing of a key
and the start of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings increase the delay of the
Vibrato onset.
