Small Phaser
The Small Phaser effect can be used to
reproduce the smooth, beautiful phasing
sound much loved by countless musicians
from the seventies onwards. In addition to
replicating the unique undulating nature of
this type of effect, Small Phaser is also
capable of producing a highly distinctive
distortion that can be adjusted using the
Drive parameter.
Max90, Max100
Max90 and Max100 replicate the
standard-type phasers popular with all
musicians of all levels, right up to top-flight
professionals. Max90 can be adjusted to
produce a unique distortion sound using the
Drive parameter; meanwhile, the Mode
parameter of the Max100 can be used to
recreate the modulation depth and feedback
settings distinctive of that effect.
Flanger
The Flanger modulation effect recreates
the sound and musicality of a variety of
flagship analog flanger units from the
seventies. As such, it is ideally suited to all
types of flanger-based sound creation.
Touch Wah, Pedal Wah
Touch Wah and Pedal Wah effortlessly
reproduce the acoustic and melodic
characteristics of many of the seventies'
leading filter sweep effects. All of your
wah-type effect needs – regardless of
whether filter sweeping is to be
controlled based on key velocity or
pedal operation – can be easily satisfied
using these effects.
Chorus
The Chorus modulation effect
reproduces the clear-cut, highly
adaptable sound of a synth-type
chorus unit.
D Chorus
D Chorus models the sound of the
famed rack-mounted stereo chorus unit
that soon became a standard in
recording studios following its release.
Irrespective of its soft, gentle
modulation, this effect can produce a
wide stereo sound, and it uniquely adds
brilliant harmonic overtones while
emphasizing attack.
816 Chorus
Famous for combining eight DX7s in
a single rack unit, Yamaha's TX816
featured a thick, detuned chorus
sound reproduced here by the 816
Chorus modulation effect.
Symphonic
A multi-stage chorus true to the
Yamaha tradition, Symphonic can be
used to replicate the ensemble effect of
the electronic organs and string
ensemble keyboards of the seventies.
By performing simultaneous, complex
modulation, this effect creates a
distinctive tone and sense of space that
other chorus effects cannot mimic,
deepening and widening the piano
sound in the process.
