Applying Effects to Tones

E-33

Applying E ffects to Tones

This piano provides you with a selection of effects that you

can apply to tones.

The following shows how the effects of this piano are

organized.

JDSP

DSP effects are applied to the connection between the sound

source and output (PA). You can select distortion and

modulation effects.

JREVERB

Reverb simulates the acoustics of specific types of

environments. You can choose from among 8 different reverb

effects, including “Room” and “Hall”.

JCHORUS

The chorus effect gives sound greater depth by causing it to

vibrate. You can choose from among 8 different chorus

effects, including “Chorus” and “Flanger”.

See the list on page A-11 for information about the types of

DSP, CHORUS and REVERB effects that are available.

Use the following procedures to configure the DSP, reverb, or

chorus effects.

1. Press the EFFECT/(L. METER) button.

2. Press the [ ] button twice to display the DSP

effect setting screen.

3. Use the [+] and [–] buttons or the selector dial to

select a DSP effect type.

Select “OFF” to turn off the DSP effect.

The display exits the DSP effect setting screen if

you do not perform any operation for about 10

seconds. You can also exit the DSP effect setting

screen by pressing the EXIT/NO button.

Applying Effects to Tones

E-34

1. Press the EFFECT/(L. METER) button.

2. Use the [+] and [–] buttons or the selector dial to

select a reverb effect type.

Select “OFF” to turn off the reverb effect.

The display exits the reverb effect setting screen if

you do not perform any operation for about 10

seconds. You can also exit the reverb effect setting

screen by pressing the EXIT/NO button.

1. Press the EFFECT/(L. METER) button.

2. Press the [ ] button to display the chorus

effect setting screen.

3. Use the [+] and [–] buttons or the selector dial to

select a chorus effect type.

Select “OFF” to turn off the chorus effect.

The display exits the chorus effect setting screen

if you do not perform any operation for about 10

seconds. You can also exit the chorus effect

setting screen by pressing the EXIT/NO button.

Playing a demo tune (page E-11) automatically changes

the effect to the one that is assigned to the tune. You

cannot change or cancel a demo tune effect.

Changing the effect setting while sound is being output by

the piano causes a slight break in the sound when the

effect changes.

A number of tones, called “DSP tones” include automatic

DSP settings to bring out the full effect of the tone. If you

assign a DSP tone to a keyboard part (Upper1, Upper2,

Lower1, or Lower2), DSP turns on automatically and the

DSP selection changes*1 in accordance with the settings of

the DSP tone. Also, the mixer Mode DSP on/off setting for

the keyboard part to which the DSP tone is assigned is

turned on.*2

*1. When the mixer Mode DSP setting is turned on for

Upper1, the DSP selection and mixer Mode DSP on/off

setting of Upper2, Lower1, and Lower2 are

unchanged, even if you assign a DSP tone to them.

*2. The mixer Mode DSP on/off settings for all the other

parts are automatically turned off. Because of this,

DSP effects previously applied to these parts are

cancelled, which can make their tone sound different.

Whether or not an effect is applied to the parts that are

sounding also depends on mixer Mode Reverb Send,

Chorus Send, and DSP on/off settings. See “Using the

Mixer” on page E-46 for more information.

The reverb and chorus of parts whose mixer Mode DSP

setting is turned on is determined by the system setting of

the keyboard settings, and not by mixer Mode settings. See

“Keyboard Settings” on page E-71 for more information.

The built-in tunes have three different arrangements, which

differ according to level of difficulty. You can select the

arrangement level that suits your particular abilities and

needs. The following describes the level of difficulty for each

of the arrangement levels.

JArrangement Level A

Much easier than the original arrangement of the tune. (1 or 2

notes for left-hand and right-hand parts, 1 or two notes per

measure for left hand part)

JArrangement Level B

The 3-step lesson feature takes you through the three distinct

steps described below to help you learn to play tunes on the

piano.

In this step, pressing any key on the keyboard plays the

correct note, so you can concentrate on getting the timing

right without worrying about playing the right note. The sub-

melody (obbligato) waits until you press a key before

proceeding to the next phrase.

1. Select the Music Library tune you want to use.

2. Press the STEP 1 button to start Step 1 play.

After a count sounds*, the keyboard stands by

and waits for you to play the first note of the tune.

Using the Mixer

As mentioned above, the word “part” as used in relation to

this piano has the same meaning as it does in an orchestra or

band. It also refers to the Upper1, Upper2, Lower1, and

Lower2 parts of the keyboard that you use when layering or

splitting keyboard tones (page E-19).

The following example shows a typical list of parts when you

are using auto accompaniment with Upper1 and Upper2

tones layered in the melody keyboard range.

Much like a real band, auto accompaniment patterns and

patterns you create with the sequencer are played using

multiple “parts”, such as chords, bass, and drum parts. The

mixer provides you with the means to turn individual parts

on (so they sound) and off (so they don’t), and to change the

tone, volume, pan, effect, and other parameters of each part.

This piano is capable of producing a total of 30 different parts.

Parts can be broadly classified as one of two different groups:

Group A and Group B.

JGroup A

Group A parts are the ones the piano normally uses for auto

accompaniments and to produce the notes you play. There

are 14 Group A parts, including six “melody parts” (for

keyboard notes), and eight “accompaniment parts” (for auto

accompaniment).

JGroup B

There are 16 Group B parts that the piano uses for sounding

MIDI input from an external source. Each of the Group B

parts also corresponds to one of the 16 tracks of the piano’s

sequencer (page E-53).

You cannot select DRUM tone group values for “Bass”, or

“Chord” parts.

Changing the tone assigned to the Upper1 also changes

the tone assigned to Harmo1. Changing the tone assigned

to the Upper2 also changes the tone assigned to Harmo2.

JPart On/Off: On, Off

This parameter can be used to turn each part on (sounds) and

off (does not sound). The current on/off status of a part is

indicated by the on-screen level meter. See “Level Meter

Screen” on page E-13 for more information.

JVolume: 0 to 127

This parameter adjusts the overall volume of each part.

JPan: –64 to 63*

Use this parameter to adjust the pan setting (volume balance

between the left and right speakers). A value of 0 puts the

speakers in balance, so the stereo center is halfway between

the two speakers. A smaller value shifts the stereo center left,

while a larger value shifts it right.

* When “On” is selected for the DSP you are using, these

settings are applied in accordance with each DSP

parameter setting.

The mixer lets you control the effects applied to each

individual part, making it different from the Effect Mode,

whose settings are applied to all parts in general.

JReverb Send: 0 to 127

This parameter controls how much reverb is applied to a part.

A setting of 0 turns reverb off, while a setting of 127 applies

maximum reverb.

JChorus Send: 0 to 127

This parameter controls how much chorus send is applied to

a part. A setting of 0 turns chorus send off, while a setting of

127 applies maximum chorus send.

“Chorus Send” does not work with drum sounds.

JDSP: On, Off

You can use this parameter to turn DSP off for a particular

channel, or to turn it on.

Using the Mixer

You can use these parameters to individually tune each of the

parts individually.

JCoarse Tune: –24 to 24

This parameter tunes individual parts in semitone units,

which means that changing the value by 1 changes the tuning

by one semitone.

The setting you make here is added to the transpose

setting described in “Transposing the Piano” on page

E-31.

“Coarse Tune” does not work with drum sounds.

JFine Tune: –64 to 63

This parameter allows fine tuning of individual parts. A

setting of –64 lowers the tuning by one semitone from normal,

while 63 represents a rise of one semitone. This setting is

applied by combining it with the “Tune setting” item of the

Keyboard Settings.
