Reverb

The reverb effects add a warm ambience to the sound, simulating the complex reections of actual performance spaces, such as a concert hall or small club. Refer to Effect Type List on page 114 for more information on the preset reverb types. Pressing the [REVERB] button alternates between On and Off. The indicator lights if reverb is turned on.
n You can select a reverb type via the Reverb Type parameter in the Voice Edit menu, and adjust the reverb depth for the selected Voice via the Reverb Send parameter (page 58). n Even if the reverb effect is turned off, a soundboard reverb effect will be applied for these Voices: GRAND PIANO 1, GRAND PIANO 2 Voice groups and Mono Piano 1, Mono Piano 2, Marimba and Celesta Voices.

Chorus

The chorus effects use various types of modulation processing, including anger and phaser, to enhance the sound in a variety of ways. Refer to Effect Type List on page 114 for more information on the preset chorus types. Pressing the [CHORUS] button alternates between On and Off. The indicator lights if chorus is turned on. You can turn the chorus effect on and off by pressing the [CHORUS] button on the panel and by setting the Chorus On Off parameter in the Voice Edit menu (page 59). The [CHORUS] button setting on the panel is temporary. That is, if you select another Voice, the chorus setting for the previous Voice is cancelled.

Yamaha CP300 Stage Piano: Self-Sufficient Touring Keys
Yamahas CP80 defined stage piano for the touring performer in the 1980s. Many years and models later, the company has revived the venerable CP line with the CP300. This is a substantial piece of gear. Its large and weighs a lot. Presumably, this is to house Yamahas Graded Hammer Effect action, which feels great. You can dig into this keyboard and feel the results. The dynamic range was also nice for a digital piano. There are two built-in 30-watt stereo monitor speakers, which could serve as all the monitoring youd need for a small combo gig. They have a nice sound, but they tend to get a little boxy at high volume. Some of this can be alleviated on the fly by using the thoughtfully supplied five-band EQ sliders on the front panel. The piano sounds are excellent and playable: This is an instrument that could stand on its own for solo piano gigs. The rest of the sounds range from good to great (the strings in particular are wonderful), and each sound has several variations available, so when you want a chorused electric piano, you can punch the electric piano button and dial up your chorused variation. There is also a bank of XG General MIDI sounds, as well as an onboard 16-track sequencer that can store songs. The CP300 has easy controls on the front that let you set up to four zone layers and splits in a couple seconds. The back panel is utilitarianpedals, MIDI, USB and audio. There are a pair of XLR balanced outs, though, which is a nice professional addin. You can use the USB to connect to your computer to store and transfer data, or you can use the CP as a slave in a computer-based sequencer. Chris Neville
Bosphorus Gold Series: Power-Packed Cymbal Set
The new Gold Series from Bosphorus offers extreme power and cutting clarity while retaining the traditional warmth and feel of hand-hammered cymbals. The company is offering a complete factory-matched Gold Standard Power Pack that includes a 20-inch ride, 16-inch crash, 8-inch splash and a pair of 14-inch hi-hats, plus a heavy-duty cymbal bag and four pairs of 5A drumsticks. Gold Series cymbals are highly polished on the top and bottom, contributing to their aggressive look and sound. The cymbals I tested were heavily hand-hammered, giving them more complexity in sound than massproduced ones. The 20-inch ride is on the heavy side at 2,700 grams, but the weight helps it deliver plenty of volume for its relatively small size. Stick definition is excellent with little wash. The bell projects well and cuts through high volumes with ease. The hand hammering allows it to produce a decent crash, as well. The 16-inch crash is powerful but not harsh-sounding, again due to the hammering. It cuts and has a nice sustain coupled with an underlying dark wash. The 8-inch splash is quick and projects well, but its a bit tinny and lacks resonance. The 14-inch hi-hats are on the heavy side. As a result, they provide wonderful stick definition, and the chick sound cuts like a knife. Both hi-hats are heavily hammered, giving them a beautiful, dark wash when played half-open. The Bosphorus Gold Series Standard Power Pack offers a great set of cymbals and accessories. Because they are designed for highervolume situations and are of a heavier weight, I wouldnt use them for subtle playing situations. However, I was impressed with the sonic range and complexity of sound. Ryan Bennett

Pro-Mark 50th Anniversary Snares: Limited-Edition Drum Art
For its 50th anniversary, Pro-Mark has collaborated with custom drum builder Peter Stanbridge to produce 100 world-class snares, 50 each in 5 1/2- x 14-inch and 6 1/2- x 14-inch sizes. Each drum features segmented shell construction, which involves assembling and machining many small blocks of wood92 in this caseinto the shape of a drum shell. The Pro-Mark stripes (found on all of the companys drumsticks) are mimicked on the drum using walnut with oak inlay. The hoops, made of rock maple and Pau Ferro, are finger-jointed for rigidity and strength. They are works of art in and of themselves. The drums sport eight classy 24-karat gold-plated tube lugs custom made by Stanbridge. The Dunnett strainer is also gold-plated and features a custom throw-off handle etched with Pro-Mark stripes. Both of these drums sound and perform as great as they look. The sound is dark and woody, coupled with outstanding crispness and response. The wood hoops enhance the tone from the solid shells. Rimshots and cross-sticks are dark but cutting. I preferred the tone of the 6 1/2-inch model to the 5 1/2, as it provides extra depth and tone without losing sensitivity. Its nice to see instruments built with such attention to detail and craftsmanship. Each retails at just under $3,000. Ryan Bennett
