Auto Power-Off

This instrument features an Auto Power-Off function that will help to save energy should you forget to turn it off yourself. This function automatically turns off the instrument after 30 minutes of inactivity. The Auto Power-Off setting is retained when the instrument is turned off. If this instrument is connected to other equipment such as amplifiers, speakers, or a computer, but you do not intend to use it for some time, we recommend that you turn off all devices as described in their owner’s manuals. Doing so eliminates the risk of damage to the other equipment. If you do not want the instrument to turn off automatically when connected to other equipment, disable the Auto Power-Off function.

NOTICE

• In certain modes of operation, the Auto Power-Off function will not turn off the instrument when 30 minutes has elapsed. We recommend, therefore, that you always turn off the instrument manually when you are finished using it.

• reface DX only: When the instrument is turned off by the Auto Power-Off function, any Voice settings not yet stored will be lost.

NOTE

To turn the instrument back on after it has been turned off by the Auto Power-Off function, press the [ ] (Standby/On) switch once to return it to the Standby position, and then press it once again to set it to the On position.

The FM tone generator

FM stands for “frequency modulation.” This type of tone generator modulates the frequency of a sound’s fundamental waveform of a sound with a different waveform to produce a totally new one. Waveforms are generated by “operators,” of which the reface DX has four. An operator that generates a fundamental waveform is a “carrier,” and an operator that modulates these waveforms is a “modulator.” Each of the four operators can be used as either a carrier or a modulator. By changing the way operators are combined and further modulating with other elements such as levels and envelopes, you can make sounds change in a highly complex fashion.

For displaying the Feedback Settings screen. Waveforms can be changed by feeding some of the signal generated by an operator back through that operator. The reface DX allows you to set feedback levels for each of the operators. If, for example, you were to select Algorithm No. 8 and apply feedback to all of the operators, the signal flow would be as follows.

If you move the slider up from the center position, the feedback type becomes sawtooth ( ) and the feedback level will increase. As a result, the waveform morphs from a sine to a sawtooth shape, and at the maximum level, it is transformed fully into a sawtooth wave. If you move the slider down from the center position, the feedback type becomes square ( ) and the feedback level will increase. As a result, the waveform morphs from a sine to a square shape, and at the maximum level, it is transformed fully into a square wave. At the center position, the feedback level is “0.” Here, none of the signal is fed back and a sine wave is produced.

r[TYPE] knob

For selecting different voice types.

Sets a distinctive electric piano voice from the early 1970s. This type of electric piano is characterized by a dark, heavy sound with sustained

RdI

notes. It sounds particularly good when combined with the phaser effect and was widely used in 70s jazz, R&B, and soul.

Sets a distinctive electric piano voice from the late 1970s. Compared with the Rdl, it has a characteristically bright, high-fidelity sound. It sounds

RdII

particularly good when combined with the chorus or phaser effect and was primarily used in the pop ballads and fusion music of the 80s.

Sets a distinctive electric piano voice

that became famous in the late 1960s. This type of electric piano is notable for the gentle attack and fast decay of flat metal reeds. Often combined with a tremolo effect, it was widely used in 70s pop, R&B, and soul.

t[DRIVE] knob

Sets the voice of a struck-string type of electric keyboard that arrived on the scene in the 1970s. Its electric guitar-

Clv

like sound is highly distinctive. This voice works very well with a wah effect and was primarily used in the funk and rock music of the 70s.

Sets the voice of a vintage toy piano from the 1970s. This setting combines a bright, undulating tone with the distinctive noisy keyboard of toy pianos.

Toy

Although originally developed as a child’s toy, this type of instrument has recently found its way into popular music thanks to its highly unique sound.

Sets the voice of the Yamaha CP80 electric grand piano of the late 1970s. The CP80 was notable for a fast attack similar to that produced by using com-

pression, and also for its unique harmonic overtones. It works very well with a chorus effect and was used in the pop, rock, jazz, and fusion music of the 80s.

For distorting the sound, thereby reproducing the effect of a guitar amp or an old radio. Turning the knob clockwise increases the amount of distortion and produces a brighter tone. When the knob is turned all the way counter-clockwise, no effect is applied to the sound.

yTREMOLO/WAH

The reface CP features four Insert Effects arranged in series. The TREMOLO/WAH section lets you add a tremolo or wah effect.

 TREMOLO

Modulates the volume in a cyclical fashion.

When [TYPE] is set to Rdl, Rdll, or CP:

The sound will be cyclically panned left and right in stereo.

When [TYPE] is set to Wr, Clv, or Toy :

The volume will be cyclically varied up and down.

 WA H

Modulates the filter cutoff frequency based on the input volume. This produces a cyclical change in tone.

Voice Setting Examples

The following settings are recommended for the reface CP.

 Rd I

Perfect settings for the pop, soul, and fusion music of the 70s. You may like to raise the DRIVE setting to increase the distortion, to move the phaser’s DEPTH setting to a relatively high level between 6 and 7, or to turn on the tremolo and move each of the DEPTH and RATE settings to around 5.

 Rd II

These wet-sounding settings are ideal for 80s ballads and the like. You could try changing the chorus DEPTH and SPEED settings.

 Wr

Perfect settings for playing 70s pop and the like. You might like to add some short reverberation by turning on A.DELAY and setting DEPTH to roughly 5 and TIME to roughly 1.5.

reface CS/DX/CP/YC Owner’s Manual

Page 37

Voice Setting Examples

 Clv

Ideal settings for 70s funk and rock performances. You may like to raise the DRIVE to get a distorted guitar-like sound. It could also sound good to switch from wah to tremolo and apply a little reverb.

 Toy

Simple settings are probably the best choice for the toy piano. You might, however, like to raise the DRIVE setting to 5 or even 10 to get a vintage, radio-like sound.

 CP

These settings are great for 80s pop and the like. The chorus setting is quite light. If necessary, you could add presence in the high-frequency band by raising the DRIVE setting to around 5. In addition, it might sound good to turn on D.DELAY and set both DEPTH and TIME to 1.5.

Sets a distinctive electric organ sound from the 1960s, characterized by sine-

like waveforms that are simple yet warm. This sound was used in many genres of music, such as rock, pop, and jazz.

Sets the sound of a transistor organ from the 1960s. With harmonic content very close to that of a square wave, it is

notable for highly present tones. This type of organ was often used in psychedelic rock and ska.

Sets the sound of a transistor organ from the 1960s. This organ is notable for a thick sound with its sawtooth com-

ponent boosted in volume. It was put to use in 60s pop music and the alternative pop of the 90s.

Sets the sound of a transistor organ made in Japan during the 1970s. This

organ was notable for a bright sound similar to that produced by the sawtooth waveforms of a synthesizer.

Sets the sound of a Yamaha transistor organ that was released in 1972. With harmonic content very close to that of a

square wave, it was characterized by highly present tones in the high range and extreme sound crushing when distortion was increased.

the 16’ pitch may be too low to be heard via the built-in speakers.

uVIBRATO/CHORUS section

This section can apply an undulating effect to the sound.

u-1. [VIBRATO/CHORUS] switch

For switching between vibrato and chorus to apply different types of undulating effects. Press down the side corresponding to the effect you wish to use.

u-2. [DEPTH] slider

For adjusting the degree to which vibrato or chorus is applied. Moving this slider all the way down turns off the vibrato or chorus effect.

iPERCUSSION section

When turned on, an accent can be applied to the attack portion of the sound. When all of the FOOTAGE volumes are zero (that is, the sliders are moved all the way up), only these percussion sounds will be produced. The settings “A” and “B” change the pitch of the percussion.

NOTE

Regardless of the slider position, FOOTAGE [1’] does not produce any organ tones when the WAVE knob is set to “H” and PERCUSSION is turned on. In addition, when notes are played legato with the H-type organ, the volume of the percussion sound decays over those notes.

i-1. [ON/OFF] switch

For turning the percussion sounds on and off. When the off side is pressed down, no percussion sounds will be produced.

i-2. [TYPE] switch

For switching the percussion pitch type. Press down the side for either Type A or Type B.

i-3. [LENGTH] slider

For adjusting the length of the percussion sounds’ release.

oEFFECT section

Voice Setting Examples

The following settings are recommended for the reface YC.

 H Type 1

These settings can be used in rock, jazz, and a wide range of other musical genres. You might like to move the [4’] slider up for a more refined sound or to move each of the [2 2/3’], [2’], [1 3/5’], [1 1/3’], and [1’] sliders down to produce a brighter sound characteristic of rock music. Try both SLOW and FAST rotary speeds, and add distortion and reverb to taste.

 H Type 2

Settings like these are often used for bossa nova and reggae music. The fact that the H-type organ produces no [1’] tones when percussion is turned on is a distinctive feature of this sound. Turning percussion on and off while playing allows the [1’] tones to be added and removed in a unique way.

 V Type

These settings are ideal for psychedelic rock and the like. Try raising the DIST setting to increase the distortion.

 F Type

Ideal settings for an alternative rock band with a slightly vintage sound. Try raising the DIST setting to increase the distortion.
