Voice
On the Clavinova, a voice means 
“tone” or “tonal color.”
You can also switch between 
voices in the same group by 
pressing a voice group button 
repeatedly.
To learn characteristics of the 
voices, listen to demo songs for 
each voice group (page 17). Refer 
to “Preset Voice List” on page 114 for 
more information on characteristics 
of each preset voice.
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 certain 
musical instruments. Refer to “Preset 
Voice List” on page 114.

XG is a major enhancement of the 
GM System level 1 format, and was 
developed by Yamaha specially to 
provide more voices and 
variations, as well as greater 
expressive control over voices and 
effects, and to ensure compatibility 
of data well into the future.
