I'm doing this song that uses sustain a lot. I am feeling that the sustain is a bit strong. I asked ChatGPT if I could modify that. I got this reply.

Yes, on the Yamaha DGX-670, you can modify how much reverb is applied when using the sustain pedal by adjusting the Reverb Depth setting or changing the Sustain Pedal Functions in combination with the reverb settings.

Steps to Modify Reverb with Sustain Pedal:​

  1. Adjust the Reverb Depth for a Voice:
    • Select the voice you're using.
    • Press the Function button.
    • Navigate to the Voice Settings and find the Reverb Depth option.
    • Adjust the reverb depth to increase or decrease how much reverb is applied when you use the sustain pedal.
  2. Modify the Pedal Function:
    • Go to Function > Pedal Settings.
    • Check if the pedal is assigned to sustain or another effect. Some setups allow fine-tuning how the sustain pedal interacts with effects like reverb.
  3. Layering Reverb and Sustain:
    • Adjust the overall reverb level in the Mixing Console:
      • Press Function, then select Mixing Console.
      • Navigate to the Reverb tab.
      • Reduce or increase the reverb level for specific parts (e.g., Main, Dual, Split).
  4. Global Reverb Settings:
    • Go to the Menu and select the Reverb settings.
    • Choose the type of reverb (e.g., Hall, Room, Stage) and fine-tune its characteristics, such as depth and time, to control how it behaves when you use the sustain pedal.
By adjusting these settings, you can tailor how the reverb interacts with the sustain pedal for a more precise sound. Let me know if you’d like further guidance!

I found myself in the Voice Set, and selected Effect/EQ. I'm using CFX Grand. It says it's not available.Tried a different piano, and it was settable.

But I find lots of things that could be changed, none of which I tried seemed to make any difference. Below are pics of the screens I've been at.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
