The particular type of Voice is indicated at the upper left of the Voice name in the Voice Selection display.

The defining characteristics of these Voices and their performance advantages are described below.

Voice Types (Characteristics)

S.Art!

(Super Articulation)

These Voices provide many benefits with great playability and expressive con-

trol in real time.

For example, with the Saxophone Voice, if you play a C and then a D in a very

legato way, you will hear the note change seamlessly, as though a saxophone

player played it in a single breath.

Similarly with the Concert Guitar Voice and play the D note strongly, the D

note would sound as a “hammer on,” without the string being plucked again.

Depending on how you play, other effects such as “shaking” or breath noises

(for the Trumpet Voice), or finger noises (for the Guitar Voice) are produced.

For details on how to best play each Super Articulation Voice, call up the infor-

mation window (pressing the [7 ] (INFO.) button in the Voice Selection dis-

play).

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 sophisticated

programming.

Sweet! These acoustic instrument sounds also benefit from Yamaha’s sophisticated

technology—and feature a finely detailed and natural sound.

Voices

NOTE Super Articulation and Mega Voices are not compatible with other instrument models. For this reason, any Song or Style you’ve created on this instru-

ment using these Voices will not sound properly when played back on the instruments which do not have these types of Voices.

NOTE Super Articulation and Mega Voices sound differently depending on keyboard range, velocity, touch, etc. Hence, if you apply a HARMONY/ECHO effect,

change the transpose setting or change the Voice Set parameters, unexpected or undesired sounds may result.

For a list of preset Voices of this instrument, refer to the “Voice List” in the Data List. The Data List is

available at the online Yamaha Library.

Drums Various drum and percussion sounds are assigned to individual keys, letting

you play the sounds from the keyboard.

SFX Various special effect sounds and percussion sounds are assigned to individual

keys, letting you play the sounds from the keyboard.

Organ Flutes! This authentic organ Voice lets you use the Voice Set to adjust the various foot-

ages and craft your own original organ sounds. See page 18 for details.

MegaVoice These Voices make special use of velocity switching. Each velocity range (the

measure of your playing strength) has a completely different sound.

For example, a guitar MegaVoice 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 MegaVoices, 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 veloci-

ties need to play the sounds, they’re not intended for playing from the key-

board. 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.

The MegaVoices are in the “StyleVoices” folder in the Voice Selection display.

For instructions on selecting MegaVoices, refer to the “Selecting GM&XG or

Other Voices” on page 7.

Using MEGAEnhancer

MEGAEnhancer is a software program that converts XG/GM song data (Standard MIDI File) to song

data specially enhanced to be played back using an instrument or tone generator containing MegaVoices.

With the use of the sophisticated MegaVoices, MEGAEnhancer automatically makes conventional song

files with guitar, bass, and other parts sound much more realistic and authentic. MEGAEnhancer can be

downloaded from the Yamaha website.

Voices

Setting the Touch Sensitivity of the Keyboard

Touch Sensitivity determines how the sound responds to your playing strength. The touch sensitivity type

becomes the common setting for all Voices.

NOTE Some Voices are purposely designed without touch sensitivity, in order to emulate the true characteristics of the actual instrument (for example, conventional

organs, which have no touch response).

Selecting the Harmony/Echo type

You can select the desired Harmony/Echo effect from a variety of types.

NOTE When the [MONO] button is turned to on or you use the Super Articulation Voices, the Harmony/Echo effect may not work properly.

1 Turn the [HARMONY/ECHO] button on.

2 Call up the operation display.

[FUNCTION]  [G] HARMONY/ECHO

3 Use the [1 ]–[3 ] buttons to select the Harmony/Echo type.

The Harmony/Echo types are divided into the following groups, depending on the particular effect applied.

 Harmony Types

The harmony effect is applied to the note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard according to the

chord specified in the chord or left-hand section shown below.

NOTE The “1+5” and “Octave” settings are not affected by the chord.

NOTE For details on the sections, see page 25.

 Multi Assign Type

The Multi Assign effect automatically assigns notes played simultaneously on the right-hand section of

the keyboard to separate parts (Voices). Both of the keyboard part [RIGHT 1] and [RIGHT 2] should be

turned on when using the Multi Assign effect. The Right 1 and Right 2 Voices are alternately assigned to

the notes in the order you play.

 Echo Types

The Echo, Tremolo or Trill effect is applied to the note played in the right-hand section of the keyboard in

time with the currently set tempo, regardless of the [ACMP] and the LEFT part on/off status. Keep in mind

that Trill works when you hold down two notes on the keyboard simultaneously (or the last two notes, if

more than two notes are held), and it plays those notes alternately.

4 Use the [4 ]–[8 ] buttons to select various Harmony/Echo settings.

The available settings differ depending on the Harmony/Echo type.

[4 ] VOLUME This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi

Assign.” It determines the volume level of the harmony/echo notes gener-

ated by the Harmony/Echo effect.

[5

] SPEED This parameter is only available when Echo, Tremolo, or Trill is selected

in Type above. It determines the speed of the Echo, Tremolo, and Trill

effects.

[6

] ASSIGN Determines the keyboard Part that the effect is assigned.

AUTO: Applies the effect to the part for which PART ON/OFF is on.

When the both parts are on, the RIGHT 1 part is given priority over the

RIGHT 2 part.

MULTI: When both parts are on, the note played on the keyboard is

sounded by RIGHT 1 part and the harmonies (effect) are divided to the

RIGHT 1 and RIGHT 2 parts. When only one part is on, the note

played on the keyboard and effect are sounded by that part.

R1, R2: Applies the effect to the selected part (RIGHT 1 or RIGHT 2).

NOTE This parameter is not available for the Multi Assign type.

[7 ] CHORD NOTE

ONLY

This parameter is available when one of the Harmony Types is selected.

When this is set to “ON,” the Harmony effect is applied only to the note

(played in the right-hand section of the keyboard) that belongs to a chord

played in the chord section of the keyboard.

[8

] TOUCH LIMIT This parameter is available for all types with the exception of “Multi

Assign.” It determines the lowest velocity value at which the harmony

note will sound. This allows you to selectively apply the harmony by your

playing strength, letting you create harmony accents in the melody. The

harmony effect is applied when you play the key strongly (above the set

value).

Fine-tuning the Pitch of the Entire Instrument

You can fine-tune the pitch of the entire instrument such as keyboard, Style and Song parts (except the

keyboard part played by the Drum Kit or SFX Kit Voices, and audio playback)—a useful feature when

playing the PSR-S950/S750 along with other instruments or CD music.

Scale Tuning

You can select various scales for playing in custom tunings for specific historical periods or music genres.

1 Call up the operation display.

[FUNCTION]  [A] MASTER TUNE/SCALE TUNE  TAB [E][F] SCALE TUNE

2 Use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the desired scale.

 Preset Scale types

Pitch-Related Settings

EQUAL

The pitch range of each octave is divided equally into twelve parts, with each half-

step evenly spaced in pitch. This is the most commonly used tuning in music today.

PURE MAJOR, PURE

MINOR

These tunings preserve the pure mathematical intervals of each scale, especially for

triad chords (root, third, fifth). You can hear this best in actual vocal harmonies—

such as choirs and a cappella singing.

PYTHAGOREAN

This scale was devised by the famous Greek philosopher and is created from a

series of perfect fifths, which are collapsed into a single octave. The 3rd in this tun-

ing are slightly unstable, but the 4th and 5th are beautiful and suitable for some

leads.

MEAN-TONE

This scale was created as an improvement on the Pythagorean scale, by making the

major third interval more “in tune.” It was especially popular from the 16th century

to the 18th century. Handel, among others, used this scale.

WERCKMEISTER,

KIRNBERGER

This composite scale combines the Werckmeister and Kirnberger systems, which

were themselves improvements on the mean-tone and Pythagorean scales. The

main feature of this scale is that each key has its own unique character. The scale

was used extensively during the time of Bach and Beethoven, and even now it is

often used when performing period music on the harpsichord.

ARABIC1, ARABIC2

Use these tunings when playing Arabic music.

The tuning of each note for the cur-

rently selected scale is shown.

[2 ] BASE NOTE Determines the base note for each scale. When the base note is changed,

the pitch of the keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch

relationship between the notes.

[3 ]–

[5 ]

TUNE Select the desired note to be tuned by using the [3 ] buttons and tune

it in cents by using the [4 ]/[5 ] buttons.

MODULATION

The MODULATION wheel can be used to modulate the parameters below as well as the pitch (vibrato).

Here, you can set the degree to which the MODULATION wheel modulates each of the following

parameters.

 SOUND Page

FILTER

Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking or passing a specific

frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a

certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be used to

produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects.

[2 ] FILTER Determines the degree to which the MODULATION wheel modulates the

Filter Cutoff Frequency. For details about the filter, see below.

[3 ] AMPLITUDE Determines the degree to which the MODULATION wheel modulates the

amplitude (volume).

[5 ] LFO PMOD Determines the degree to which the MODULATION wheel modulates the

pitch, or the vibrato effect.

[6 ] LFO FMOD Determines the degree to which the MODULATION wheel modulates the

Filter modulation, or the wah effect.

[7 ] LFO AMOD Determines the degree to which the MODULATION wheel modulates the

amplitude, or the tremolo effect.

[1 ] BRIGHT

(Brightness)

Determines the cutoff frequency or

effective frequency range of the fil-

ter (see diagram). Higher values

result in a brighter sound.

[2 ]HARMO.

(Harmonic Con-

tent)

Determines the emphasis given to

the cutoff frequency (resonance),

set in BRIGHT. above (see dia-

gram). Higher values result in a

more pronounced effect.

EG

The EG (Envelope Generator) settings determine how the level of the

sound changes in time. This lets you reproduce many sound

characteristics of natural acoustic instruments—such as the quick

attack and decay of percussion sounds, or the long release of a

sustained piano tone.

VIBRATO

Vibrato is a quavering, vibrating sound effect that is produced by

regularly modulating the pitch of the Voice.

 EFFECT/EQ Page

[3 ] ATTACK Determines how quickly the sound reaches its maximum level after the

key is played. The lower the value, the quicker the attack.

[4 ] DECAY Determines how quickly the sound reaches its sustain level (a slightly

lower level than maximum). The lower the value, the quicker the decay.

[5 ] RELES.

(Release)

Determines how quickly the sound decays to silence after the key is

released. The lower the value, the quicker the decay.

[6 ] DEPTH Determines the intensity of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings result in a

more pronounced Vibrato.

[7 ] SPEED Determines the speed of the Vibrato effect.

[8 ] DELAY Determines the amount of time that elapses between the playing of a key

and the start of the Vibrato effect. Higher settings increase the delay of the

Vibrato onset.

Style Types (Characteristics)

The particular type of Style is indicated at the upper left of the Style name in the Style Selection display. The

defining characteristics of these Styles and their performance advantages are described below.

Pro: These Styles provide professional and exciting arrangements combined with perfect playability. The

resulting accompaniment exactly follows the chords of the player. As a result, your chord changes and

colorful harmonies are instantly transformed into lifelike musical accompaniment.

Session: These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types

and changes, as well as special riffs with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been

programmed to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain songs and in certain

genres. Keep in mind, however, that the Styles may not necessarily be appropriate—or even harmonically

correct—for all songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad for

a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh chord, or playing an on-bass chord may result in

inappropriate or unexpected accompaniment.

+Audio (PSR-S950): Indicates the Audio Style. For more information on Audio Styles, refer to the Owner’s

Manual.

For the Preset Style List, refer to the Data List downloadable from Yamaha Manual Library.
