Procedure
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 20).
Refer to “Preset Voice List” on
page 108 for more information
on characteristics of each pre-
set voice.
You can control the loudness of
a voice by how hard you play
the keyboard, although different
playing styles (touch sensitivi-
ties) have little or no effect with
the sound of certain musical
instruments. Refer to “Preset
Voice List” on page 108.
XG is a major enhancement of
the GM System level 1 format,
and was developed by Yamaha
specially to provide more
voices and variations, as well
as greater expressive control
over voices and effects, and to
ensure compatibility of data
well into the future.
