6) REVERB, EFFECTS, AND EQ
The EP3 digital piano allows performers to alter sounds by adding reverb, applying effects, and adjusting
equalisation (EQ).
When selecting some internal sounds, the LED indicator for the EFFECTS or REVERB buttons may turn on
automatically. This is because certain internal sounds are prepared with an effect enabled as the default setting,
enhancing tonal quality and improving acoustic realism.
REVERB
Reverb adds reverberation to the sound, simulating the acoustic environment of a recital room, stage, or concert hall.
There are fi ve types of reverb available:
