[EFFECT]
The button allows you to select an effect to enhance the sound and give it greater
depth and animation.
Press the [EFFECT] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the
desired type lights. No effect is produced when all indicators are off. You can also
adjust the effect depth (see below).
Off
............................. When no effect is selected, no EFFECT indicator is lit.
CHORUS
.................. A shimmering, broadening effect
PHASER
................... Adds a sweeping effect to the sound.
TREMOLO
............... Tremolo effect
ROTARY SP
............. Adds the vibrato effect of a rotary speaker.
Adjusting Effect Depth
The effect depth for the selected Voice can be adjusted by simultaneously
holding down the [EFFECT] button and pressing the [-/NO] or [+/YES] button.
The depth range is from 0 through 20. The current depth setting appears on the
display while the [EFFECT] button is held.
The default setting can be recalled by simultaneously holding down the
[EFFECT] button and pressing the [-/NO] [+/YES] buttons together.
You can transpose the pitch of the instrument—both that of your keyboard performance and that of Song
playback—to match the pitch of another instrument or vocalist, without having to actually change keys on
the keyboard. Transposition can be set in semitone units. For example, if you set the transposition amount to
“5,” playing key C produces pitch F. In this way, you can play the song as if it were in C major, and the
Clavinova will transpose it to the key of F.
Setting the transposition amount
The transposition amount can be set in semitone intervals
by pressing the [-/NO] [+/YES] button while holding down
the [TRANSPOSE] button. The default setting (0) can be
recalled by pressing the [-/NO] and [+/YES] buttons
together while holding down the [TRANSPOSE] button.
Default setting:
The default effect type (including
Off) and depth settings are
different for each Voice.
NOTE
When you select ROTARY SP,
pressing and releasing the left
pedal switches between fast/slow
rotation of the rotary speaker.
