You can combine two sounds with DUAL mode. Simultaneously press two TONE buttons to hear
two tone colors at once.
(6) Effect
Add an effect.
-REVERB function simulates the reverberation of a music hall. This effect is “ON” when the light
above the REVERB/WIDE button is lit.
(When the power is turned on, the REVERB function is automatically activated.) Press the button
if the light isn’t lit.
-WIDE is Kawai’s exclusive sound enhancement system which simulates the deep reverberation of
a large concert hall or cathedral.

will be activated. Pressing the button once again turns the REVERB and WIDE functions “OFF”.
