Voice Types
(Figure)
Organ Flute Voice (page 53)
Drum Kit Voices
When one of the Voices is selected from this button, you can play various drums and percussion instruments or SFX (sound effects) sounds on the Keyboard. Details are given in the Drum List of the separate Data List. When the icon "Drum Kit" appears at the bottom of the Voice Selection display as MENU1, you can display the Key assignment by pressing the [4 Down] button. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).

Voice Characteristics
The Voice type and its defining characteristics are indicated above the Voice name — VRM, S.Art!, Live!, Cool!, Sweet!, etc. For detailed explanations, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).
In this section, only VRM and Super Articulation Voices (S.Art!) are explained.
(Figure)

VRM Voices (page 49)
These recreate the characteristic string resonance of a real acoustic piano.

Super Articulation Voices (S.Art!) (page 50)
The Super Articulation Voices enable you to create subtle, very realistic musical expressions, simply by how you play.
For example, with a Guitar Voice, if you play a C and then a D in a very legato way, the D note would sound as a "hammer on," without the string being plucked again. 
Depending on how you play, other effects such as finger noises (for Guitar Voices) will be produced.

Calling Up the Piano Default Settings (Piano Reset)
When you turn the power on, the Voice is set to "CFX Grand," allowing you to play the instrument as a piano across the entire keyboard. No matter what settings you've made from the panel, you can instantly call up these default settings.
NOTE
This function cannot be used while the Piano Room display (page 40) or the Piano Lock display (page below) is shown.
1	Press and hold down the [PIANO ROOM] button for two seconds or longer.
A message appears on the display.
2	Press the [G] (RESET) button to call up the default piano settings.

Piano Lock Function
The convenient Piano Lock function lets you "lock" the piano so that you don't inadvertently change the settings by pressing another button on the panel. Once locked, the instrument stays in the piano mode, even if other buttons are pressed—preventing you from accidentally playing another sound during your piano performance.
1	Press and hold down the [PIANO ROOM] button for two seconds or longer.
A message appears on the display.
2	Press the [H] (LOCK) button to call up the Piano Lock display.

To disable Piano Lock, press and hold the [PIANO ROOM] button for two seconds or longer again.
If you turn off the power with Piano Lock engaged, turning on the power next time will call up the same Piano settings.

Playing the Realistic Resonance-enhanced VRM Voices
On an actual acoustic piano, if you press the damper pedal and play a key, not only does the string of the pressed key vibrate, it also causes other strings and the soundboard to vibrate, with each influencing the rest, creating a rich and brilliant resonance that sustains and spreads. The VRM (Virtual Resonance Modeling) technology featured in the instrument reproduces the complicated interaction of both string and soundboard resonance faithfully using a virtual musical instrument (physical modeling), and makes the sound more like a real acoustic piano. Since instantaneous resonance is made at the moment according to the state of the keyboard or pedal, you can vary the sound expressively by changing the timing of your pressing the keys, and the timing and depth of your pressing the pedal. When you select a Piano Voice compatible with VRM (referred to as VRM Voices), the VRM function is automatically engaged, letting you immediately enjoy the VRM effect. 
1	Select the VRM Voice.
Press the VOICE category [PIANO] button to call up the Voice Selection display, then select a Voice having a "VRM" icon above its name.
(Figure)
2	Play the keyboard.
As the default setting, the VRM function is set to on; however, you can turn it on or off, and adjust the depth in the following display as desired.
1 [FUNCTION] | 2 TAB [Left][Right]  | MENU1 | 3 [F] (VOICE SETTING) | 4 TAB [Left][Right]  PIANO | 5 [A]/[B] VRM
(Figure)

Use [D] button for turning the VRM function on or off, or use the [1 Up Down][2 Up Down] buttons for adjusting the depth of damper resonance and the [3 Up Down][4 Up Down] buttons for that of string resonance. 
NOTE
This setting is applied commonly to all parts for which VRM Voices are selected.

Playing Super Articulation Voices
1	Select a Voice having the indication "S.Art!" in the Voice Selection display.

2	Call up MENU1 at the right bottom of the display by pressing the [8 Down] button as necessary.
3	Press the [6 Down] (INFO) button to call up helpful information on how to play the selected S. Art! Voice.
Play in the way described on the information display. 

When you select a Super Articulation Voice for the RIGHT1 Voice, the function of center and left pedals are switched to control articulation effects. Thus, the pedals will not function conventionally as the Sostenuto and Soft pedals even if you press them. However, if you want to avoid this situation in which the pedal function is automatically changed depending on the selected Voice, turn the "SWITCH WITH R1 VOICE" setting to off from the display called up as follows.
[DIRECT ACCESS] | pressing the right pedal | [H] SWITCH WITH R1 VOICE
NOTE
Super Articulation Voices are only compatible with other models which have those types of Voices installed. Any Song or Style data you've created on the instrument using this Voice will not sound properly when played back on other instruments.
NOTE
Super Articulation Voices sound differently depending on the keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you apply a HARMONY/ECHO effect, change the transpose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.

Transposing the Pitch in Semitones
The TRANSPOSE [-]/[+] buttons transpose the overall pitch of the instrument (the keyboard sound, Style playback, Song playback, and so on) in semitone steps. Press the [+] and [-] buttons simultaneously to instantly reset the transpose value to 0.
(Figure)
You can independently transpose the pitch of the entire instrument (MASTER), keyboard sound (KBD), or Song playback (SONG) as desired in the MIXING CONSOLE display. [MIXER] | TAB [Left][Right]  TUNE | [1 Up Down] – [3 Up Down] TRANSPOSE
NOTE
The Transpose functions do not affect the Drum Kit or SFX Kit Voices.

Tuning
By default, the Tuning of the entire instrument is set to 440.0 Hz, and the Scale Tuning is set to equal temperament. You can change these settings from [FUNCTION] | TAB [Left][Right]  MENU1 | [E] MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE | TAB [Left][Right]  MASTER TUNE or SCALE TUNE. You can also adjust the Tuning parameter for each keyboard part (RIGHT1, RIGHT2 and LEFT) on the TUNE page of the Mixing Console display (page 100).
For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9), Chapter 10.
Hz (Hertz): 
This unit of measurement refers to the frequency of a sound and represents the number of times a sound wave vibrates in a second.

Applying Voice Effects
The instrument features a sophisticated multi-processor effect system which can add extraordinary depth and expression to your sound.
1	From the Main display, select the desired part for which you want to add effects.
(Figure)
2	Press the [VOICE EFFECT] button to call up the VOICE EFFECT display.
(Figure)
3	Use the [1 Up Down], [3 Up Down] – [5 Up Down] and [I] buttons to apply effects to the Voices.
(Table)
1	[1UD]	LEFT HOLD	This function causes the LEFT part Voice to be held even when the keys are released. Non-decaying Voices such as strings are held continuously, while decay-type Voices such as piano decay more slowly (as if the damper pedal has been pressed). When the Left Hold is ON, an "H" indication appears in the Main display.
2	[3UD]	MONO/POLY	This determines whether the part's Voice is played monophonically (only one note at a time) or polyphonically. Using the MONO mode lets you play single, lead sounds (such as brass instruments) more realistically. It also lets you expressively control the Portamento effect (depending on the selected Voice) by playing legato.
What is Portamento?
Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the next.
3	[4UD]	DSP	With the digital effects built into the instrument, you can add ambience and depth to your music in a variety of ways. Various effect types, such as chorus and delay are included.
The DSP switch is used to turn the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) effect on or off for the currently selected keyboard part.
The DSP Variation switch is used to determine whether variations of the DSP effect are effective or not. You could use this while you play, for example, to change the rotating speed (slow/fast) of the rotary speaker effect.
NOTE
The effect type can be changed. On the Voice Selection display, select [8 Down] MENU1 | [5 Down](VOICE SET) | TAB [Left][Right]  EFFECT/EQ | [A]/[B] DSP 
	[5UD]	DSP VARIATION	
4	[I]	KEYBOARD HARMONY	When this is set to ON and the Style is being played back (page 58), Harmony or Echo is applied to the right-hand Voices, depending on the chords played with your left hand. However, there are certain Harmony/Echo types for which harmony will be applied regardless of the chords played with your left hand. For details, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).

Creating Original Organ Flutes Voices
The instrument uses advanced digital technology to recreate the legendary sound of vintage organs. Just as on a traditional organ, you can create your own sound by increasing and decreasing the levels of the flute footages.
1	Press the [ORGAN FLUTES] button.
The FOOTAGE Page of the Organ Flutes Voice is called up.
(Figure)
2	Use the [1 Up Down] – [8 Up Down] buttons to adjust the footage settings.
The [1 Up Down] buttons control two footages: 16' and 5 1/3'. Pressing the [D] button switches between these two footages.
What is "Footage"?
Footage is a number (16', 8', etc.) displayed at the bottom of each footage lever. The number indicates the length of pipes used on an actual pipe organ, which determines the pitch of the sound. The number 8' indicates a pipe length of 8 feet, while 4' indicates 4 feet, which creates a pitch one octave higher than 8'. Similarly, the number 16' indicates 16 feet, whose pitch is one octave lower than 8'. 
(Figure)
Footage levers
