■ EFFECT Screen
Use this screen to apply variety of acoustic effects to notes.
Your Digital Keyboard has three types of effects, each of which includes the effects described below.
A) Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
A collection of versatile Normal DSP effects help to enhance the sound of tones. For example, distortion can be
applied to an electric guitar sound to make it sound more powerful. There are 20 different Normal DSP types, and
the most appropriate one for the selected tone is applied automatically.
B) System Effects (SYSTEM)
These effects are shared by all Digital Keyboard parts. The depth of an effect can be adjusted by specifying the send
level from the part to each system effect.
• Chorus: Combines multiple layers of the same note to create a sound with more depth.
• Delay: Delays the input signal and feeds it back to create a repeating effect and give notes more breadth.
• Reverb: Adds reverberation to make it sound like you are playing in a room or in a hall.
C) Master Effects (MASTER)
These effects are applied to the Digital Keyboard master output signal.
• Equalizer (Master Equalizer (EQ)): Adjusts the master frequency characteristics. The Master Equalizer can be
used to adjust the frequency and gain of four frequency bands: low, mid1, mid2, and high.
• Compressor (Master Compressor): Compresses the instrument master output signal. This effect can be used to
suppress level dispersion and limit the level of the input signal so it does not exceed the setting value.

Description
Adjusts the threshold (where application of an effect starts)
level. Set a lower value for a compressor effect, and a higher
value for a limiter effect.
Adjusts the compression ratio. Set a lower value to for a
compressor effect, and the maximum value to for a limiter
effect.
Adjusts the output level.
Adjusts the time until the compression effect starts. A smaller
value causes prompt compressor operation, which suppresses
the attack of the input signal. A larger values delays
compressor operation, which causes the attack of the input
signal to be output as-is.
Adjusts the release time. Adjusts the time until the
compression effect is released.
Selects the connection position with the compressor EQ.
