EFX

In addition to reverb, various other effects can be applied to the selected sound, altering the tonal character and feeling

of the instrument. The MP10 features 25 high quality EFX types, with an effect assigned to each sound by default.

The PIANO and SUB sound sections share one common effect module, while the E.PIANO section features two

separate effects modules that can be connected in series.

„ Turning EFX ON/OFF

Press the desired sound section’s EFX button to turn the effects

for that section ON/OFF.

The LED indicator for the sound section’s EFX button will turn

ON or OFF to indicate the current status of the effects.

* The E.PIANO section’s EFX1 and EFX2 modules are turned ON and OFF in

exactly the same way.
