Voice Characteristics
The voice type and its defining characteristics are indicated above the voice name.
Natural!
These rich and luscious voices are comprised mostly of keyboard instrument sounds and are especially intended
for playing piano and other keyboard parts. Since they use a completely independent sound source, you can play
full, sustained chords — even along with the accompaniment style — and not have to worry about notes cutting
off. They also take full advantage of Yamaha’s advanced sampling technology such as Stereo Sampling, Dynamic
Sampling, Sustain Sampling, and Key-off Sampling.
Live!
These acoustic instrument sounds were sampled in stereo, to produce a truly authentic, rich sound — full of
atmosphere and ambience.
Cool!
These voices capture the dynamic textures and subtle nuances of electric instruments — thanks to a huge amount
of memory and some very sophisticated programming.
Sweet!
These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha’s sophisticated technology — and feature a sound so
finely detailed and natural, you’ll swear you’re playing the real thing!
Drum
Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the
keyboard.
SFX
Various special effect sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard.
Live!Drums
These are high-quality drum sounds taking full advantage of Stereo Sampling and Dynamic Sampling.
Organ Flutes!
This authentic organ voice lets you use the Sound Creator to adjust the various footages and craft your own
original organ sounds.
Live! SFX
These are high-quality Latin percussion sounds taking full advantage of Stereo Sampling and Dynamic sampling.
They give you a broader and more versatile range of Latin percussion than the normal drum voices.
Keyboard Percussion
When one of the drum of SFX kits is selected in the PERCUSSION voice group, various drum, percussion, and special
effect sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard. The various drums and
percussion instruments of the Standard Kit are indicated by symbols above the assigned keys. Keep in mind that even
though different kits feature different sounds, some same-named sounds in different kits are identical.
Refer to the separate Data List (Drum/key Assignment List) for a listing of the sounds in each drum/SFX kit.
You can also use the metro-
nome with this function
(page 51).
PIANO
Even if you turn Piano Lock
off, the piano settings are
still active.
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 CVP-209/207 stays in the piano mode, even if other buttons are pressed — preventing
you from accidently starting a song or accompaniment style during a piano concert.
Hold down the [PIANO] button for a short time, until a message appears prompting you
to enable Piano Lock.
To enable Piano Lock, select “OK.”
To turn Piano Lock off, hold down the [PIANO] button again for a short time.
