Reverb
Reverb consists of overlapping sounds reflected from the walls and floor. For
example, if you clap your hands in a large room such as a church, the “wash” of
sound that lingers is the reverb. The character of the reverb is affected by the size of
the space (room, hall, etc.), its shape, and the materials of the wall or other reflecting
surface.
1. Press LOOP EFFECTS [REVERB].

Using the loop effect to create doubling
One technique for spreading the backing guitar between left and right is to record
the same backing performance twice (on separate audio tracks), and then pan the
two tracks to left and right. This is known as doubling.
The CDX-1 provides a “DOUBL’N (doubling)” (p. 174) loop effect that lets you
produce a doubling effect without having to record the same performance twice.
By using the “DOUBL’N (doubling)” effect, doubling can be applied to the mono
recording of a channel after it has already been recorded.
Before you edit the parameters of the “DOUBL’N” (doubling) loop effect, set the pan
settings of the audio track to far left or right.
For details on pan settings for
an audio track, refer to
“Setting the left/right position
(pan) of an audio track.”
