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.
