Insertion Effects; System Effects; Master Compressor; Master Equalizer - Yamaha CP4 Stage Reference Manual

Insertion effects

Assigned to individual Parts, insertion effects process the sound of the corresponding Voice. Two are
available for use in a Performance, each containing two independent effects, A and B. Parameters for these
effects can be set on the Effect-A and Effect-B screens
addition, the insertion effects can be conveniently turned on and off using the [A] and [B] PART EFFECT
buttons from the control panel.

System effects

The CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE feature chorus and reverb as system effects. Because these operate as
send-type effects, audio signals corresponding to the send levels set for each Part are sent together to the
chorus and reverb units, which each output a single processed audio signal. Parameters for chorus and
reverb can be set on the Chorus Effect and Reverb Effect screens
Edit area. In addition, the system effects can be conveniently turned on and off using the [CHORUS] and
[REVERB] SYSTEM EFFECT buttons from the control panel.
NOTE
Send levels for each Part can be adjusted using the Part sliders

Master compressor

The master compressor modifies the overall sound of the stage piano, and therefore, the same parameters
apply to all Performances. These parameters can be set on the MasterComp screen
Utility area. In addition, the master compressor can be conveniently turned on and off using the [MASTER
COMP] button from the control panel.

Master equalizer

The master equalizer adjusts the overall sound of the stage piano just before it is output. On the CP4 STAGE,
the master EQ features five frequency bands; on the CP40 STAGE, it has three. The MASTER EQ sliders
located at the right of the control panel can be used to adjust the gain in each band. Moving a slider away
from you increases the gain in the corresponding frequency band and vice-versa. On both the CP4 STAGE
and the CP40 STAGE, the Low and High bands can be switched between peaking and shelving types.
Master EQ parameters are set on the Master EQ screen
Effect categories, types, and parameters
Details on the categories of effect available on the CP4 STAGE and CP40 STAGE as well as their types and
parameters can be found in the Effect Type List and Effect Parameter List sections of the Data List (pdf). In addition,
these effect categories, types, and parameters are described in detail in the Synthesizer Parameter Manual (pdf).
Preset programs
For each effect type, parameter settings suitable for various different modes of use have been prepared as preset
programs. Instead of configuring effects from scratch, you can save considerable time by selecting the preset
program that best matches the current Voices or style of music and then tweaking to suit your specific needs. Preset
programs can be selected using Preset from effect-parameter editing screens. A full list of presets for each effect
type can be found in the Data List (pdf).
