Modulation Effect Block
Using a Modulation Effect block, an audio effect can be applied to the part’s voice in order to mod-
ify its spatial characteristics.

Selecting Modulation Effect Block Types

The following tables identify and describe the different types of effect that can be selected in each
Modulation Effect block. If you have selected a voice from the PIANO or E.PIANO category for the
current part, this block’s selection page will give priority to a group of effects specially designed for
piano voices (i.e., the modulation effects). A range of additional general-purpose effects can also
be selected from the block’s Other group. Meanwhile, if you have selected a non-piano voice, all of
these effects — including those primarily for piano voices — will be available for selection by cate-
gory as insertion effects.

For PIANO and E.PIANO voices:

On-screen name
(and full name) Description
SmallPha (Small Phaser) Small Phaser operates like a vintage phaser, applying a unique sweeping effect.
Max90 Max90 emulates a vintage phaser, producing a more traditional-sounding effect.
Max100 Another vintage-type phaser, Max100 can modify the sound in a number of differ-
ent ways based on its Mode parameter setting.
Flanger The Flanger effect reproduces the sound of a vintage flanger.
TouchWah (Touch Wah) Touch Wah produces a classic filter-sweep effect in response to how hard or soft
the keyboard is played.
PedalWah (Pedal Wah) Another classic filter-sweep effect, Pedal Wah is operated using a pedal or
another controller. In order to use this effect, it is necessary to specify which con-
troller is to be used, and this can be done by selecting the controller on Page 4 of
the Common Settings screen (page 34) and setting “MdEffect” as its destination.
Chorus The Chorus effect applies a standard chorus.
D Chorus D Chorus produces a chorus effect that is more natural sounding, softer, and
wider.
816Cho (816Chorus) Famous for combining eight DX7s in a single rack unit, Yamaha's TX816 featured
a thick, detuned chorus sound that is reproduced here by the 816Chorus modula-
tion effect.
Sympho (Symphonic) Symphonic uses multi-stage modulation to produce a wider-sounding chorus.
Other The Other group contains general-purpose effects that are suitable for use with
voices other than those from the PIANO and E.PIANO categories. Within this
group, you can select from a wide range of effects in a number of different catego-
ries. See the table on the following page for more details regarding these catego-
ries and effects.
