Power-Amplifier / Compressor Block (CP5 only) Using the Power-Amplifier / Compressor block, you can choose either a faithful recreation of one of many power amplifiers used with electric pianos or a compressor to further enhance the sound created by the currently-selected part's Voice and Modulation Effect blocks. This block is available on the CP5 only. Selecting Power-Amplifier / Compressor Block Types Edit Sequence Press and hold the [PWR-AMP] button (for at least one second)  Navigate to Page 1 using the [- PAGE] button if necessary  Turn Knobs 1 to 3 The following table identifies and describes the different power amplifier / compressor types available within the Power-Amplifier / Compressor block. If you have selected a voice from the PIANO or E.PIANO category for the current part, this block's selection page will give priority to power amplifiers and a compressor specially designed for piano voices. Furthermore, a range of general-purpose effects can also be selected from the block's Other group. Meanwhile, if you have selected a non-piano voice, the power amplifiers, the compressor, and all other effects will be available for selection as insertion effects. For PIANO and E.PIANO voices: 1XS"NQ5ZQF

Also intended for use with electric pianos, the 73Rd I power-amp/speaker combination produces a more spacious tone. PowerAmp 75Rd I is an electric-piano power amplifier that realizes a powerful, allengulfing tone. Particularly well suited to chorus-type effects, the 78Rd II power-amp/speaker combination is characterized by a clear, highly-present tone. The 69Wr power amplifier enhances low-end punch while enriching the overall electric-piano sound. A higher degree of presence can be added to electric piano voices using the 77Wr power amplifier. Modeling an ideal power amplifier, Clean Amp boosts sounds evenly across the entire frequency spectrum. Compressor 376 is a vintage-type compressor that can be used to control the dynamics of your piano sounds. The Other group contains general-purpose effects that are suitable for use with voices other than those from the PIANO and E.PIANO categories. Within this group, you can select from a wide range of effects in a number of different categories. These categories and effects are identical to those from the Modulation Effect block, and more details can be obtained from the table on page 16.
