Each voice consists of two types of voices (main and sub voices).
The main voice is an instrument which can be selected by pressing the [VOICE] button.
A sub voice has a role that enhances the selected main voice. It is automatically selected according to a selected main voice.

■ Types of main voices
Voice | Description | Sound continuity |
|---|---|---|
Mellow Pulse | This voice reproduces the classic sounds of “OM-84” which is an Omnichord released in the 1980s. To create this voice, the analogue sound generator circuit of “OM-84” is incorporated into “OM-108”. | |
Harp | This voice reproduces sounds of a pedal harp used in an orchestra. On this unit, make a chord change using the chord buttons instead of pedals. | |
Celeste | This voice reproduces the soft and subtle sound of a struck idiophone called “Celeste”. | |
A. Piano | This voice reproduces sounds of an acoustic piano (grand piano) used in orchestra. It is difficult to play fast arpeggio using piano keys but the strumplate allows you to play it easily. | |
Guitar | This voice reproduces the sound of a guitar with steel strings. | |
FM Piano | This voice reproduces electronic piano sounds of a digital synthesizer released in 1980s and is suitable for ballad songs. | |
Organ | This voice reproduces sounds of a Hammond organ, created by a combination of fifth drawbar setting and chorus effect. | O |
Vibes | This voice reproduces sounds of a vibraphone (a metallophone equipped with spinning fans at the top of the resonator tubes). We recommend tapping the strumplate with multiple fingers instead of sliding when you use this voice. | |
Banjo | This voice reproduces sounds of a 5-strings resonator banjo often used in country music. We recommend tapping the strumplate alternately and quickly with multiple fingers instead of sliding when you use this voice. |
■ Types of sub voices
Voice | Description | Sound continuity |
|---|---|---|
Tremolo Pulse | As with Mellow Pulse, this voice reproduces the classic tremolo effect sound of “OM-84”. | |
Synth Strings | This voice reproduces orchestral strings sounds of synthesizer. Compared to the actual sounds, this voice has soft and flat traits so that it harmonizes well with other timbres. | O |
Synth Strings (Octave Unison) | This voice reproduces orchestral strings sounds of synthesizer in octave unison which makes the sounds more majestic. | O |
Mellow Synth Pad | This voice reproduces mellow synth pad sounds. By mixing with other timbres, you can create a deep atmosphere. | O |
