Sort of, but not exactly - but still better than the newer boards !

 

 While Casio has always considered reverb and chorus as "generic" effects, they have always considered them as being separate from what they consider "DSP".  The older Casio CTK/WK models allowed you to have one reverb type, one chorus type, and one DSP type active at any one time - for a total of 3 "effects".  While some of the preset DSP types may have combined two or three DSP's into one preset selection, you, as the user, could not combine discrete DSP types.  For instance, as you may have been able to select a wahchdly DSP preset, or a wah-dly preset and combine it with chorus, you, as the user, could not combine a discrete wha, with a discrete dly, then combine it with chorus, as that would have required you to be able to select two discrete DSP types (wah and dly) when you can only select one.  In other words, while some of the DSP presets may have offered you a mixture of apples and oranges and bananas as a single preset DSP type, you, as the user, were not able to mix apples, and oranges, and bananas into your own DSP combination.

 

This plan has been carried over into the newer CTK/WK-6XXX/7XXX models, but it has one additional (huge) limitation - in the newer boards, chorus and DSP are mutually exclusive - that is, you can have reverb with chorus, or reverb with DSP, but you can not have chorus and DSP active at the same time.  When you turn on chorus, any DSP types active at that time are turned off, or in order to turn on a DSP type, you have to turn off chorus.  Here again, while there are some DSP presets that combine chorus with one DSP type, you, as the user, are not able to make those types of combinations, yourself.  So, if you want a DSP type along with a chorus type, that combination will have to be available as a dual type DSP preset, or you are out of luck.

 

On the newer CTK/WK-6XXX/7XXX boards, DSP Presets 01 thru 14 are single types, while 15 thru 46 are dual types.  There are no three-way preset combos.  DSP Preset #10 is Delay, and DSP Preset #17 is Wah-Chorus, but you have no way of combining the two.  On the older boards (WK-3300/WK-3800, etc) DSP Preset #062 is Auto-wah-Chorus-Delay, so in this respect, the newer boards are a big step backwards, both in the number of DSP presets (100 vs 46) and the capabilities with them.  I have no idea why Casio would have made this kind of a trade-off.

 

Sorry !
