Selecting Voices
Procedure
To learn characteristics of
the voices, listen to demo
songs for each voice group
(page 22). Refer to “Preset
Voice List” on page 93 for
more information on charac-
teristics of each preset voice.
1.
Select a voice group.
Press one of the MAIN voice group buttons (upper row).
Voice
On the Clavinova, a voice
means “tone” or “tonal color.”
You can control the loudness
of a voice by how hard you
play the keyboard, although
different playing styles (touch
sensitivities) have little or no
effect with the sound of cer-
tain musical instruments.
Refer to “Preset Voice List” on
page 93.
2.
Select a voice.
Use the A [–]/[+] buttons to select a voice.
