Digital Piano Function Series: The Reverberation & Effect


The Reverb


Providing the user with an everyday concert hall. That is, basically, the ultimate goal of the reverberation feature of our digital pianos. It seeks to reproduce the resonance effects of a performance space, from the most casual dinner settings to the most prestigious and sound-abundant concert halls. Because it is, unlike all others that create unusual conditions that my not be achieved in acoustic instruments, designed based on real acoustic resonance - stuffs that actually happen in acoustic instruments - the reverberation is initially set active by default in many products.

Most of Dynatone digital piano models do allow their users to choose from a maximum of eight types of reverberation, depending on any desired performance spaces that the players may wish to recreate. The players, of course, also have the option to turn off the reverberation altogether, in case they wish to get the ‘secco’, or dry sounds out of the instrument.


The Effect

While referred to as the ‘effect’ here, the last on our firsthand list has been also often called the ‘chorus’ on many products, more so on keyboards. On Dynatone products the term effect is used more frequently, since what it does is not exactly attaching a ‘chorus’ to the voice in the traditional sense, but really adding a thick layer of voice effect that serves to enrich and deepen the sound of the chosen voice. Among the available types of effects, some are indeed named ‘chorus’ and their sounds allude to that, but others can be, well, quite different.


On most Dynatone models, eight types of effects are available. Unlike the reverberation mentioned above, the effect is not initially turned on by default - it's not a part of acoustic instruments.
