Effect Unit; Makeup Of Effects - Yamaha CP4 Stage Reference Manual

Effect Unit

The effect unit is used to apply a range of different effects to the sounds produced by the tone generator in
order, for example, to add thickness, reverb, or a sense of space. In this way, the effect unit can make your
stage piano sound much more expressive.

Makeup of Effects

The CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE feature insertion effects for use with individual Parts, system effects that
can be configured for each Performance, and a master compressor and master EQ that affect all
Performances in the same way. Voices produced by the tone generator are processed by the insertion
effects, the system effects, and the master compressor and master EQ in that order, before being output via
your amplifier and speakers.
