Effect Types Divided Into Effect Categories - Yamaha Motif-Rack XS Owner's Manual

Effect Types divided into Effect
Categories
The MOTIF-RACK XS provides such a wide and extensive
variety of Effect types that it may be difficult to find the desired
Effect type out of the great number that are available. This is why
all the Effect types are divided into convenient Effect categories.
This section explains the Effect categories and their types. The
Effect Type list described below for each category contains the
columns: Rev (Reverb), Cho (Chorus), Ins (Insertion) and Mas
(Master Effect). The checkmarks indicated in these columns
means the Effect Type is available for each block. These Effect
types (with the checkmarks indicated in each list) can be
selected from the panel controls.
Reverb
Also called "reverberation," this refers to the sound energy
remaining in a room or closed space after the original sound
stops. Similar to yet different from echo, reverb is the indirect,
diffuse sound of reflections from the walls and ceiling that
accompany the direct sound. The characteristics of this indirect
sound depends on the size of the room or space and the
materials and furnishings in the room. Reverb Effect types use
digital signal processing to simulate these characteristics.

Description
This chorus effect produces a
richer and more complex
modulation than conventional
chorus.
This chorus effect consists of pitch
modulation and amplitude
modulation.

CHORUS modulation.
Chorus effect without modulation,
created by adding a slightly pitch-
shifted sound.
