(4) Use the [NO/–]/[YES/+] buttons to select “Off” if you
don’t need the Reverb processor. Otherwise, select one of
the eight available types:
(5) Play a few notes on the keyboard to audition the effect.
Changing the amount of Reverb processing for
the Keyboard parts
To change the Reverb depth (i.e. how much Reverb is added
to a part), proceed as follows:
(6) If the [FUNCTION] button still lights, use SELECT [√][®] to
select one of the following parameters.
(If [FUNCTION] doesn’t light, first perform steps (1) and (2)
above.)
(7) Use [NO/–]/[YES/+] to select “0” if you don’t want the
selected Keyboard part to be processed by the Reverb
effect. Otherwise, set the desired value.
If you selected an MFX type (see p. 32), the Rev MAIN
parameter no longer affects the Main part directly, but
rather the MFX signal.
Rev Main= 100” then means: Reverb depth of the pro-
cessed Main signal coming out of the MFX. This can be used
for a variety of interesting applications: Distortion (MFX) +
Reverb (REV), Rotary (MFX) + Plate (REV), etc.
(8) Play a few notes on the keyboard to audition the effect.
Do not forget to activate the Split or Dual part if you wish to
audition its Reverb depth.
Note: This setting can be saved to a User Program (see p. 41).
(9) Press another “big” button in the DATA ENTRY section to
leave this function.
Chorus
Chorus broadens the spatial image of the sound and creates a
stereo impression. You can choose from 8 types.
When you switch on the E-200/E-100, none of the three Key-
board parts (Main, Dual, Split) are processed by the internal
Chorus effect. Note also that the Chorus effect doesn’t affect
the Main part if the MFX is set to anything but “Off”.
If you don’t need Chorus, you can either switch off the Chorus
processor (in which case none of the E-200/E-100’s 19 parts are
processed) or prevent just one Keyboard part from being pro-
cessed. You cannot change the amount of Chorus that is added
to the Arranger or pre-recorded Song parts.
Switching the Chorus effect on/off
Use the following procedure if you want no Chorus at all (for
none of the E-200/E-100’s parts), or to select another Chorus
type.
(1) Press the [FUNCTION] button (it must light).
(2) Use FAMILY [√][®] to select “EFFECTS”.
(3) Use SELECT [√][®] to select the “CHR” parameter:
Note: See also “Working with the FAMILY and SELECT buttons”
(p. 17).
(4) Use the [NO/–]/[YES/+] buttons to select “Off” if you
don’t need the Chorus processor. Otherwise, select one of
the eight available types:
(5) Play a few notes on the keyboard to audition the effect.
Type Explanation
Room 1~3 These types simulate the Reverb characteris-
tics of a room. The higher the number (1, 2, or
3), the “bigger” the room becomes.
Hall 1, 2 These types simulate the Reverb of a small (1)
or large (2) concert hall and thus sound far
“bigger” than the Room types above.
Plate Digital simulation of a metal plate that is
sometimes used for creating Reverb effects.
Works well for percussive sounds.
Delay A Delay effect (no Reverb). Works a lot like an
echo effect and thus repeats the sounds.
Pan Delay This is a stereo version of the preceding Delay
effect. It creates repetitions that alternate
between the left and right channels.
