Mega Voices Compatibility
Mega Voices are unique to the
Clavinova and are not compati-
ble with other models. Any song
/
style data you’ve created on the
Clavinova using the Mega Voices
will not sound properly when
played back on other instru-
ments.
Natural!
These rich and luscious Voices are comprised mostly of keyboard instrument
sounds and are especially intended for playing piano and other keyboard parts.
They also take full advantage of Yamaha’s advanced sampling technology such as
Stereo Sampling, Dynamic Sampling (CVP-405/403), Sustain Sampling (CVP-
405/403), and Key-off Sampling (CVP-405/403).
S. Articulation!
(CVP-405)
The Super Articulation voices sound remarkably authentic and natural, featuring
the unique performance characteristics of each instrument—for example, guitar
scratching sounds or the legato phrasing of wind instruments. They provide many
of the same benefits as the MegaVoices (see below), but with greater playability
and expressive control in real time. To effectively play these natural sounds in
performance of certain voices, you may need to use the pedal or footswitch. For
details on how to best play each voice, call up the Information window (pressing
the [7
π
] button in the Voice Selection display).
Mega Voice
(CVP-405/403)
The Mega Voices are not intended to be played from the keyboard. They are
primarily designed for use with recorded MIDI sequence data (such as songs
and styles). Some of the guitar and bass Voices in particular have been cre-
ated as Mega Voices.
What makes Mega Voices special is their use of velocity switching. Normal
Voices use velocity switching, too—to make the sound quality and/or level of a
Voice according to how strongly or softly you play it. This makes the instrument’s
Voices sound authentic and natural. However, with Mega Voices, each velocity
range (the measure of your playing strength) has a completely different sound.
For example, a Mega guitar Voice includes the sounds of various performance
techniques. In conventional instruments, different Voices having those sounds
would be called up via MIDI and played in combination to achieve the desired
effect. However, now with Mega Voices, a convincing guitar part can be played
with just a single Voice, using specific velocity values to play the desired sounds.
Because of the complex nature of these Voices and the precise velocities need to
play the sounds, they’re not intended for playing from the keyboard. They are,
however, very useful and convenient when creating MIDI data—especially when
you want to avoid using several different Voices just for a single instrument part.
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 sophisti-
cated 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!
Drums 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.
Organ Flutes!
This authentic organ Voice lets you use the Sound Creator to adjust the various
footages and craft your own original organ sounds. See page 100 for details.
