Using the Power-Amplifier / Compressor block, you can choose either a faithful recreation of one of
many power amplifiers used with electric pianos or a compressor to further enhance the sound cre-
ated by the currently-selected part's Voice and Modulation Effect blocks. This block is available on
the CP5 only.

Selecting Power-Amplifier / Compressor Block Types

The following table identifies and describes the different power amplifier / compressor types avail-
able within the Power-Amplifier / Compressor block. If you have selected a voice from the PIANO or
E.PIANO category for the current part, this block’s selection page will give priority to power amplifi-
ers and a compressor specially designed for piano voices. Furthermore, a range of general-pur-
pose effects can also be selected from the block’s Other group. Meanwhile, if you have selected a
non-piano voice, the power amplifiers, the compressor, and all other effects will be available for
selection as insertion effects.
