Voice
On the Clavinova, a voice means
“tone” or “tonal color.”
You can also switch between
voices in the same group by
pressing a voice group button
repeatedly.
To learn characteristics of the
voices, listen to demo songs for
each voice group (page 17). Refer
to “Preset Voice List” on page 114 for
more information on characteristics
of each preset voice.
You can control the loudness of a
voice by how hard you play the
keyboard, although different playing
styles (touch sensitivities) have little
or no effect with the sound of certain
musical instruments. Refer to “Preset
Voice List” on page 114.
