This voice has been sampled from a full con-
cert grand piano. It features five-stage dynamic 
sampling, tone changes with damper pedal 
operation, and a subtle voicing at the release 
of the keys. It simulates the ultimate acoustic 
piano sound. It also reproduces a string reso-
nance that is typical of acoustic pianos. This 
voice is suitable not only for classical music but 
for piano music of any genre.

The harpsichord is often used for Baroque 
music. The volume level is always consistent 
regardless of how you play. The instrument 
generates a peculiar voice when you release 
the keys. “8’” means that it produces the same 
octave sound as the keys.

This voice combines the 8’ and 4’ harpsichord 
sounds. “4’” means that it produces a sound 
one octave higher than the actual keys.

ElectricClavichord

×

●

×

This is the voice of a keyboard that produces 
sound by striking the strings with magnetic 
pickups. This funky sound is popular in black 
contemporary music. Because of its unique 
structure, the instrument produces a peculiar 
sound when you release the keys.

Vibraphone

●

●

●

×

×

This voice simulates a vibraphone played with a soft mallet. 
The harder you play, the more metallic it sounds. Use the 
“VibraphonePedalMode” parameter in the “OTHER SET-
TING” menu to select whether the sound sustains while 
you hold down the keys, or the sound sustains only when 
you press the pedal. An actual vibraphone has a rotor 
inside the resonance tube, which rotates via the motor to 
create the vibrato effect. Pressing the left pedal applies this 
effect; pressing the pedal again turns the effect off.
