Effects

In addition to reverb, various other effects can be applied to the selected sound, altering the tonal character
and feeling of the instrument. As with reverb, some sound types enable certain effects automatically in order to
enhance tonal quality. The CA97/CA67 digital piano features 19 different effect types, with 2 combination effects,
and 3 additional amplified effects.
