CVP-609/605 Owner’s Manual

Voices – Playing the keyboard –

The Super Articulation Voices (SA Voices and SA2 Voices) enable you to create subtle,

very realistic musical expressions, simply by how you play.

 SA Voices

The SA Voices provide many benefits with great playability and expressive control in

real time.

Example: Saxophone Voice

If you play a C note and then an adjacent D in a very legato way, you will hear the note

change seamlessly, as though a saxophone player played it in a single breath.

Example: Guitar Voice

If you press and hold a C note then press the left pedal, the pitch will change from C to D

note as if a guitarist played a hammer-on note.

 SA2 Voices (only for the CVP-609)

For wind instrument Voices and Violin Voices, a special technology called AEM has

been used, which features detailed samples of special expressive techniques used on

those specific instruments — to bend or slide into notes, to “join” different notes

together, or to add expressive nuances at the end of a note, etc.

Example: Clarinet Voice

If you hold a C note and play the Bb above, you’ll hear a glissando up to the Bb.

Some “note off” effects are also produced automatically when you hold a note for over a

certain time.

For specific performance instructions on certain Voices, you can call up the Information

window of the selected SA Voice or SA2 Voice by touching the [S.Art] or [S.Art2] icon

which appears on the upper right of the Voice name on the Home display.

Playing Super Articulation Voices

NOTE

AEM is a technology that

simulates the sound of

acoustic instruments naturally

by smoothly joining the most

appropriate sound samples

selected from the data base in

realtime during performance.

Adding Articulation Effects by Using the Pedal

When you assign a SA or SA2 Voice to the Main part, the function of the center and left pedals

are switched to control articulation effects. Pressing a pedal triggers different playing effects,

separate from your keyboard playing. For example, pressing a pedal for a saxophone Voice can

produce breath noises or key noises, while doing the same for a guitar Voice can produce fret

noises or body-tapping sounds. You can effectively intersperse these into the notes as you play.

When an SA2 Voice is selected (CVP-609), pressing a pedal and playing/releasing a note

enables you to add articulation effects, such as bend up/down, glissando up/down, brass falls,

etc.

NOTE

• If you want to lock the pedal

function regardless of the

Voice, turn off the Depend

On Main Voice parameter

called up via [Menu] 

[Assignable]  [Pedal] 

[Depend On Main Voice].

• If you assign the Articulation

function to the

ASSIGNABLE buttons

(page 28), you can control

articulation effects by using

the buttons instead of the

pedals.
