The Symphony Grand is equipped with 174 voices (192 MB of ROM samples) made up of 128 General MIDI sounds and 46 from Williams’ high-definition Custom Sound Library featuring sounds sampled from a famed Italian grand piano, as well as a wide selection of vintage electric pianos and organs. Backing options are provided by 120 Style Arranger songs in a range of genres for real-time playback, along with intros, fills, variations and endings for interactive performance.
