Applying Effects to a Sound
You can apply a variety of different acoustic effects to the sounds produced by the Digital Keyboard. The built-in effects include a 
wide variety of variations that give you access to a selection of general digital effects.
 The Digital Keyboard also lets you apply effects to input from the T-5 (INST IN) jack and T-8 (MIC IN) jack.
The following shows how Digital Keyboard effects are configured.
 Items such as “Reverb Send” that are indicated by the symbol are all mixer settings. For details, see “Using the Mixer” 
(page E-38).
 Chorus and DSP cannot be used at the same time.
■Chorus Effect Mode Configuration
The chorus effect mode is enabled while “Chorus” is selected for the “Chorus/DSP” effect parameter. Chorus and reverb can be 
used in the chorus effect mode.
 For information about “Chorus/DSP”, see “Selecting an Effect” (page E-33).

Using the Mixer
The sound source of this Digital Keyboard is capable of 
sounding up to 32 individual parts simultaneously. Each part 
can be controlled individually, and each part can be 
configured to sound a different musical instrument. Different 
tones can be assigned to each part when using layer and split 
to sound multiple tones at the same time, and to sound 
multiple instruments at the same time with Auto 
Accompaniment.
The mixer can be used to assign such tones and to configure 
other settings for each part, and to configure global effect 
settings applied to all parts. The mixer provides you with the 
means to make fine adjustments to a wide variety of settings, 
from note generation to note output.
This Digital Keyboard has a total of 32 parts: A01 through 
A16, and B01 through B16. Each part has a specific purpose. 
Use the table below as a reference to determine the purpose 
of each part when using the mixer to configure the settings of 
a part.
