Key Voice Name Voice description

C1 Grand Piano 1

This sound was sampled from a full concert grand piano. It uses different samples

depending on the strength of your playing and produces smoother tonal changes.

Suitable not only for classical compositions but also for piano pieces of any style.



1 Grand Piano 2 Warm and soft piano sound. Good for playing ballads.

D1 Grand Piano 3 Spacious and clear piano with bright reverb. Good for popular music.



1 E.Piano 1 An electronic piano sound created by FM synthesis. Good for standard popular music.

E1 E.Piano 2

The sound of an electric piano using hammer-struck metallic “tines.” Soft tone when

played lightly, and an aggressive tone when played hard.

F1 Harpsichord

The definitive instrument for baroque music. Since harpsichord uses plucked strings,

there is no touch response. There is, however, a characteristic additional sound when

the keys are released.



1 Vibraphone

Vibraphone played with relatively soft mallets. The tone becomes more metallic the

harder you play.

G1 Pipe Organ

This is a typical pipe organ sound (8 feet + 4 feet + 2 feet). Good for sacred music

from the Baroque period.



1 Jazz Organ

The sound of a “tonewheel” type electric organ. Often heard in jazz and rock music.

The rotary speed of the rotary speaker effect can be switched by using the left pedal.

A1 Strings

Stereo-sampled, large-scale strings ensemble with realistic reverb. Try combining this

Voice with piano in the Dual mode.
