Effects; Harmony; Reverb - Yamaha Portable Grand DGX-200 Owner's Manual

Effects

The DGX-200 is equipped with a wide variety of effects that can be used to enhance the sound
of the voices. The DGX-200 has four separate effect systems — Harmony, Reverb, Chorus and
DSP — and each has many different effect types to choose from.

Harmony

The Harmony section features a variety of performance effects that enhance the
melodies you play when using the accompaniment styles of the DGX-200. A total
of twenty-six Harmony types are available. (See page 33.)
Tremolo, Trill and Echo effects can be used even if accompaniment is off.
There are five different Harmony Types that automatically create harmony parts
(for notes played in the upper section of the keyboard) to match the accompani-
ment chords.
Turn on/off the Harmony effect.
Press the [HARMONY] button.
Harmony type and Harmony Volume (when Harmony Type 1 - 5 is selected) can
be set in the Function mode (page 76).

Reverb

The Reverb effect reproduces the natural ambient "wash" of sound that occurs
when a instrument is played in a room or concert hall. A total of eight different
Reverb types simulating various different performance environments are avail-
able. (See page 33.)
The following parameters can be set in the Function mode (pages 75, 76).
