Effects
You might have noticed that when you select some of the sounds, the LED indicator for the REVERB, CHORUS, or EFFECTS button is turned on. The reason for this is some of the sounds are set up with one or more of these effects on as part of their initial setting.
Adding an effect to the sound enhances tonal quality and improves acoustical realism. The CP piano is provided with three separate groups of effects. The first is REVERB, the second is CHORUS, and third group EFFECTS contains other useful effects such as Delay, Phaser, Rotary Speaker etc. There is a dedicated button on the front panel for each Effects group and each of the three Effect groups can be turned on/off separately or used in combination for each part. The Concert Performer has a selection of 27 different Reverb, Chorus, and Effect types that can be used to enhance or even dramatically alter the instrument sounds. Each of the over 600 instrument and drum sounds has already been assigned a REVERB and CHORUS setting and an additional EFFECT that suits that particular type of instrument. For example, a moderate Delay effect is used on the Church Organ to recreate the sense of being in a large church, and a Rotary speaker effect is used on the Drawbar organ to give it an authentic, vintage feel.
If you wish, you can change any of these effect settings to suit your tastes separately for each sound save them as the new Preset effect settings for that Sound (See Sound Edit on page 86). In addtion, by setting the Effect For Sound function in the System to “Panel” the CP will ignore the preset effect settings for each Sound (see Effect For Sound on page 113).
(The CP piano can also remember your Effect settings as part of a Registration. See Registration on page 31.)
