Adding Articulation Effects - Yamaha PSR-E473 Owner's Manual

Adding Articulation Effects

Articulation reproduces playing techniques for partic-
ular instruments, such as guitar harmonics. Articula-
tion is added to your performance only while the
[ARTICULATION] button is pressed. Voices to which
Articulation can be added are called S.Art Lite
(Super Articulation Lite) Voices.

Examples of Articulation effect
If you select Guitar, you can use the following opera-
tions to realistically reproduce playing techniques
that are unique to the guitar.
Example: Voice Number 064 "S.Art Lite Nylon
Guitar Harmonics"
Hold the [ARTICULATION] button while playing the
keyboard to recreate guitar harmonics.
Example: Voice Number 068 "S.Art Lite Distor-
tion Guitar"
Press the [ARTICULATION] button to make scratch
noises.
The optimal Articulation for a Voice is applied only if
the S.Art Lite Voice is selected.
In other cases, Articulation is not added. Instead, a
modulation effect is applied to the produced sound.

Using a Pedal to Add Articulation

switch) in the Function Settings (page 64, Function
054), you can conveniently step on the pedal to
apply the effect as you play.
NOTE
• Articulation is only applied to the Main Voice.
• S.Art Lite Voices sound differently depending on the velocity.
