Adding Effects to Voices Played on the Keyboard Adding Effects to Voices Played on the Keyboard The CVP features a sophisticated multi-processor effect system which can add extraordinary depth and expression to your sound. 1 Select the desired part for which you want to add effects by pressing one of the PART SELECT buttons. 2 Press the [VOICE EFFECT] button to call up the VOICE EFFECT display. Using, Creating and Editing Voices 1 2 3 Use the buttons at the lower part of the display to apply effects to the Voices. You can use a pedal to turn the Harmony/Echo effects on and off (page 182). Portamento: Portamento is a function that creates a smooth transition in pitch from the first note played on the keyboard to the next. The portamento time (the pitch transition time) can be set via the MIXING CONSOLE display (page 82). DSP: Stands for Digital Signal Processor (or Processing). DSP changes and enhances the audio signal in the digital realm to produce a wide range of effects. Effect Parameters HARMONY/ECHO MONO/POLY DSP/DSP VARIATION The Harmony/Echo types are applied to the right-hand Voices (page 79). This determines whether the part's Voice is played monophonically (only one note at a time) or polyphonically. Using the MONO mode lets you play single, lead sounds (such as brass instruments) more realistically. It also lets you expressively control the Portamento effect (depending on the selected Voice) by playing legato. With the digital effects built into the Clavinova, you can add ambience and depth to your music in a variety of ways-such as adding reverb that makes you sound like you are playing in a concert hall. • The DSP switch is used to turn the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) effect on or off for the currently selected keyboard part. • The DSP Variation switch is used to change between variations of the DSP effect. You could use this while you play, for example, to change the rotating speed (slow/fast) of the rotary speaker effect. Selecting the Harmony/Echo type You can select the desired Harmony/Echo effect from a variety of types. In order to make the type you've selected here effective, set HARMONY/ECHO to On in the display shown in step 2 above. 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [F] HARMONY/ECHO 2 Use the [1π†]-[3π†] buttons to select the Harmony/Echo type (page 79). 3 Use the [4π†]-[8π†] buttons to select various Harmony/Echo set- tings (page 80). The available settings differ depending on the Harmony/Echo type. 78 CVP-305/303/301 Owner's Manual
