Enhancing the Sound
2
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 ES7 digital piano features eleven different effect types, and four combination effects.
