NOTE

Voices and Polyphony

The P-200’s voices are high quality samples of real musical instruments
generated by Yamaha’s exclusive AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone
generation process.
All of the voices have 64-note polyphony, which means that a maximum number
of 64 notes can be played simultaneously. This is crucial for achieving
uncompromising sound and performance when using a sustain pedal, where
certain notes must hold over others as you play, until you release the sustain
pedal.
There is an extra dimension to some of the P-200’s voices. Two of the PIANO
voices have special stereo settings, which are capable of 32-note polyphonic
output. Also, the BASS voice has both acoustic UPRIGHT BASS and ELECTRIC
BASS settings.
The following table provides an overview of each preset AWM voice.
