Using Digital Effects

Your digital piano provides you with a selection of digital
effects that you can apply to tones.

Digital Effect Types

REVERB : 4 Types

The REVERB effect gives you a choice of the four variations
listed below. Each one simulates the acoustics of different
environments.

ROOM 1 ....... Small, intimate live house
ROOM 2 ....... Small stage
HALL 1 ......... Stage area of a large hall
HALL 2 ......... Audience area of a large hall

CHORUS : 4 Types

The CHORUS effect is most effective for the E.PIANO tone.

*

The names of the settings are marked above the keyboard

keys to which they are assigned.

To toggle digital effects on and off

1

While holding down the CONTROL button, press
the keyboard key that corresponds to the digital
effect you want to turn on or off.

*

A note does not sound when you press a keyboard
key while holding down CONTROL button.

Power on effect settings

The table below shows the effect settings that are assigned
to each tone whenever you turn on the digital piano.

*

The above digital effect settings can be changed after you

turn on power.

NOTE

• Selecting a tone automatically selects the digital effects

currently assigned to it.

• Digital effect settings remain in effect until you turn off

the digital piano.

• Demo tunes have their own digital effect settings, which are

automatically selected whenever you select a demo tune.

More about tones

Polyphony

This digital piano can play up to 32 notes at the same time.
Also note that some of the tones offer only 16-note polyphony
(GRAND PIANO 1, ELEC PIANO 2, RIDE ACO BASS).

Touch Response

The touch response feature of this digital piano causes the
volume of the tones and the sound of the tones themselves to
change slightly in accordance with how much pressure you
apply to the keyboard, just like with an acoustic piano. Touch
response affects the HARPSICHORD tone only slightly,
because the original musical instrument normally produces
the same sound, no matter how much pressure is applied.

Digitally Sampled Tones

The tones of this digital piano are produced using digitally
recorded samples of actual musical instruments. Not all of
the instruments, however, can produce tones across the entire
range played by this digital piano (A

0

through C

8

). In such a

case, digital recordings are used for the range that actually
can be produced by the original instrument, and synthesized
tones are used for notes that cannot be produced naturally.
Because of this, you may notice very slight differences
between natural notes and synthesized notes in sound quality
and in results produced when using effects. These differences
are normal and do not indicate malfunction.
