Effect Name
Description
Chorus, Classic Chorus
Simulates the rich character of a vocal choir or string ensemble, by layering a slightly detuned version of the sound over the
original to enrich it. Classic Chorus is similar in principle to Chorus, but intended for vintage electric piano sounds.
Celeste
A three-phase chorus without modulation.
Ensemble
A three-phase chorus with a slight modulation to each phase.
Flanger
Creates a shifting comb-filter, which adds motion and a “hollow” tone to the sound.
Phaser, Classic Phaser
Creates a phase change, adding motion to the sound. Classic Phaser replicates a vintage effect.
Auto Wah, Pedal Wah
Sweeps a tone filter up and down the a note, recreating the popular vintage wah pedal sound.
Tremolo, Classic Tromolo
Modulates the volume of the sound. This is a vibrato type effect. Classic Tremolo replicates a vintage effect.
Tremulant
A combination of Tremolo and Vibrato. It simulates the tremulant pipes of a church organ.
Auto Pan, Classic A.P.
Moves the sound left and right across the stereo field at a variable rate. Classic Auto Pan replicates a vintage effect.
Standard Delay, Pingpong
Delay, Triple Delay
Adds echoes to the sound. The three types differ in the length of time between the echoes.
Overdrive
Simulates the tonal character of an overdriven valve amplifier.
Distortion
Adds frequencies that were not present in the original sound, resulting in a “fuzzy” or warmer tone.
Rotary1 ~ Rotary6
Simulates the sound of a rotary speaker commonly used with vintage electronic organs. There are three different levels
of overdrive, with and without a Chorus effect. The soft pedal can be used to alternate the speed of the rotary simulation
between ‘Slow’ and ‘Fast’ effect modes.
Compressor
Boosts the level of softer notes while limiting the level of louder notes to create a more ‘even’ volume.
Standard EQ
Applies user-definable 3-band equalisation to the sound.
Enhancer
Emphasizes high frequencies to make a sound more easily discernible in a mix.
Combination Effects
Different combinations of the above effects, applied simultaneously.
Combination effect types: Chorus, Chorus, AutoPan, Chorus.
Amplified Effects
A selection of the above effects, with a vintage electric piano speaker effect applied.
Effect Priority Guidelines
Reverb and Chorus are global effects. In other words, all of the Parts and the Accompaniment Style must share the
same Reverb and Chorus type. However each of these Parts can have a different amount of Reverb and Chorus
applied to them. In addition Reverb and Chorus can be independently turned on/off for each part. However, since
the CP’s EFFECT section can only have one Effect turned on at a time (in addition to the REVERB and CHORUS),
what happens if you have two (or more) Parts active, with entirely different sounds, each with a different Effect
setting? In these cases, the CP’s Effects section can only use the Effect settings for one of the Parts. The EFFECT
section chooses which Effect settings to use based upon a predetermined priority order for each of the Parts, and
the priority order depends on the RIGHT3 type.
RIGHT3 part type
Effect part priority
SOLO
RIGHT3 > RIGHT1 > RIGHT2 > LEFT/SPLIT
NORMAL
RIGHT1 > RIGHT2 > RIGHT3 > LEFT/SPLIT
The preset effect settings for the Priority Part will be used and the other Parts will either share these settings or
may have their Effects automatically turned off.
