Variation Voice Name Description
[PIANO]
Grand Piano
This sound was sampled from a concert grand piano. It uses different samples
depending on the strength of your playing and produces smoother tonal changes.
Even the tonal changes produced by the damper pedal and the subtle sounds of
releasing a key are reproduced. The sympathetic vibration (string resonance) that
occurs among the strings of an acoustic piano has also been simulated. Suitable not
only for classical compositions but also for piano pieces of any style.
1 Live Grand Spacious and clear piano with bright reverb. Good for popular music.
2 Ballad Grand Warm and soft piano sound. Good for relaxing music.
3 Bright Grand
Bright piano sound. Clear tone helps the sound to “cut through” when playing in an
ensemble.
[E.PIANO]
Stage E.Piano
The sound of an electric piano using hammer-struck metallic “tines.” Soft tone when
played lightly, and an aggressive tone when played hard.
1 DX E.Piano
An electronic piano sound created by FM synthesis. Extremely “musical” response
with varying timbre according to keyboard dynamics. Good for standard popular
music.
2 Vintage E.Piano A slightly different electric piano sound often heard in rock and popular music.
3 Synth Piano
