Mic Effect - Kawai Concert Performer CP136 Owner's Manual

Mic Effect

There are five different Mic Effects available to enhance the audio signal (Voice or instrument
sound) coming from the microphone jack. All effects, except the Echo/Vibrato, operate
independently of one another. The Mic Effect function is separate from the Effects assigned to the
keyboard Parts. Therefore, you can use different effects on the keyboard sounds and on Vocal/
instrument sounds from the microphone.
Type of Effect
Equaliser
The equaliser allows you to adjust the tonal Character of the Mic input (voice, instrument, etc) by
raising or lowering the volume level of the High, Mid and Low frequencies separately. Raising the
Values increases the level of the frequency. Lowering the values reduces the level of the frequency.
Gate
This effect mutes the signal from the Mic input (Voice, Instrument, etc) when the input level (volume)
falls below a specified setting. This is useful for cutting out softer, extraneous background noise
(cars, air conditioners, etc) while still allowing the desired, louder signal (Vocal, instrument etc.) to
be heard. This can be very useful for recording to the CD-R in a noisy room.
Higher Gate settings cut out more background noise. 0 - All sounds are heard. 100 - Almost no
sound is heard.
Echo
Adds delay or echoes to the sound.
Time - Determines the delay time between each echo. Higher values add longer delays.
Level - Determines the volume of the first echo. Each echo will become softer after that. Higher
values create louder echoes.
Feedback - Determines how many echoes will be heard after the first echo. Higher settings produce
more echoes.
