Natural Voices and Regular Voices
Built into the CVP-900 are two different tone generation sources, Natural and XG.
The Natural tone generation source and its voices feature a huge amount of wave
memory, giving you enormous and finely detailed expressive power over the sound.
The XG source (which powers the Regular voices) provide maximum compatibility
with a wide variety of devices and song data.
The maximum amount of polyphony for each tone generation source is set up to best
enhance your performance. In general, the songs and styles are played back using the
XG source, while the Natural voices are played from the keyboard — allowing you to
play the Natural voices with full polyphony, even if the song and style data exceeds the polyphonic limit.
* Depending on the particular style selected, a Natural voice may be used for the accompaniment. Usually, songs are played back using the
XG voices (page 160); however, you can have them automatically “re-voiced” — using the exceptionally rich and realistic sounds exclusive
to the CVP-900 (page 121).
The available parameters
differ depending on the
selected voice type, Regular
or Natural (see below).
Keep in mind that there are
certain parameters whose
Sound Creator settings
affect only the Main part’s
voice.
Voices sounded with the XG
source are divided into two
groups. One is the original
set of Clavinova voices
(Cool!, Sweet!, Live!,
Live!Drums, Organ Flutes),
and the other is the conven-
tional XG set.
