ADDING THE EFFECTS
You might have noticed that when you select some of the preset sounds, the LED indicator for the EFFECTS is turned on. The reason for this is some of the preset sounds are set up with an effect on as their initial setting.
Adding an effect to the sound enhances tonal quality and improves acoustical realism. The CA piano is provided with two separate groups of effects. The first is reverb and the second contains chorus, delay, tremolo and rotary speaker.
REVERB
Reverb adds reverberation to the sound, simulating the acoustic environment of a recital room, stage, or concert hall. There are five types of reverb available. They are Room, Stage, Hall, 3D Room and 3D Hall (listed in order of reverberation amount).
CHORUS
Chorus is an effect that simulates the rich character of a vocal choir or string ensemble, by layering a slightly detuned version of the sound over the original to enrich it.
DELAY
Delay is an effect that adds echoes to the sound. There are three types of delay available (delay 1 - 3), each of which has a different length of delay between the echoes.
TREMOLO
This is a vibrato type effect.
ROTARY
This effect simulates the sound of the Rotary Speaker cabinet commonly used with electronic organs. Rotary 1 is normal rotary and Rotary 2 is with distortion effect.
The soft pedal is used to change the speed of the rotor between SLOW and FAST.
