Explanation of voices

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.

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.

Synth Strings (Octave Unison)

This voice reproduces orchestral strings sounds of synthesizer in octave unison which makes the sounds more majestic.
