Listen to the demo song for each iAFC type. (page 32)
Settings:
SpatialEnsEfx (Spatial Ensemble Effect)
This lets you experience the ambience and rever-
beration that are characteristic of performing on
stage. Ambience and reverberation are also added
to the performance of the musicians playing
together with you, letting you enjoy the sensation
of playing together on stage. The sound of the
instrument itself and the sound of singing and
other instruments played nearby is picked up by a
mic, and processed to simulate the spatial charac-
teristic of performing together on stage.
NaturalSndBrd (Natural Soundboard)
This creates the resonance and enhances the acous-
tic realism of the sound that is characteristic of
acoustic instruments. When used on a grand piano
sound, it produces a more natural-sounding piano.
The sound of the instrument itself is picked up by a
mic, and processed to create a virtual soundboard.
DynDmpEfx (Dynamic Damper Effect)
This simulates the sustain sound that occur when
you press the damper pedal of a grand piano. The
mic is not used, but the sound produced within the
Clavinova is processed to create a spacious sensa-
tion.
This parameter is effective only on the voice group
“GRANDPIANO1.”

If you select [DynDamEfx] for the iAFC type, lower the
Depth value slightly if the rear of the Clavinova is closer
to the wall, and raise the Depth value slightly if the rear
is far from the wall, to obtain the optimal iAFC effect.
