ify its spatial characteristics.

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.

Small Phaser operates like a vintage phaser, applying a unique sweeping effect.
Max90 emulates a vintage phaser, producing a more traditional-sounding effect.
Another vintage-type phaser, Max100 can modify the sound in a number of differ-
ent ways based on its Mode parameter setting.
The Flanger effect reproduces the sound of a vintage flanger.
Touch Wah produces a classic filter-sweep effect in response to how hard or soft
the keyboard is played.
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.
The Chorus effect applies a standard chorus.
D Chorus produces a chorus effect that is more natural sounding, softer, and
wider.
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.
Symphonic uses multi-stage modulation to produce a wider-sounding chorus.
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.
