Natural Voices and Regular Voices
Built into the CVP-205/203 are two different tone generation sources, Natural and 
XG. The Natural tone generation source and its voices feature a huge amount of wave 
memory, giving you enormous and finely detailed expressive power over the sound. 
The XG source (which powers the Regular voices) provide maximum compatibility 
with a wide variety of devices and song data.

The maximum amount of polyphony for each tone generation source is set up to best 
enhance your performance. In general, the songs and styles are played back using the 
XG source, while the Natural voices are played from the keyboard — allowing you to 
play the Natural voices with full polyphony, even if the song and style data exceeds the polyphonic limit.

* Depending on the particular style selected, a Natural voice may be used for the accompaniment. Usually, songs are played back using the 

XG voices (page 152); however, you can have them automatically “re-voiced” — using the exceptionally rich and realistic sounds 
exclusive to the CVP-205/203 (page 120).

The available parameters 
differ depending on the 
selected voice type, Regular 
or Natural (see below).

Keep in mind that there are 
certain parameters whose 
Sound Creator settings 
affect only the Main part’s 
voice.

Voices sounded with the XG 
source are divided into two 
groups. One is the original 
set of Clavinova voices 
(Cool!, Sweet!, Live!), and 
the other is the conventional 
XG set.
