• CFX Lite uses a higher or lower sample than the pitch you play (depending on the knob setting) and transposes it, producing the altered timbre at the correct pitch. When the Timbre Effect knob is at 50%, you’ll experience the natural timbre of the sampled Yamaha CFX concert grand piano. Turn the Timbre Effect knob above 50% to give the piano a more plucked sound and turn the Timbre Effect knob below 50% for a less percussive sound. This can be used to emulate the  technique George Martin utilized on “In My Life.”
• Size and Decay knobs have been added for more comprehensive control over the reverb settings.
• Twenty-two reverb impulses of actual presets from Abbey Road Studio One rack gear are included (these represent some serious secret sauce).
• Added realism has been added to pedal behavior. Re-Pedaling “catches” a note with the sustain pedal after it is played and Partial Pedaling allows you to use a continuous sustain pedal to vary the amount of dampening applied.
