Adding Variations to the Sound – [BRILLIANCE]/
[REVERB]/[EFFECT]/“Damper Resonance”
[BRILLIANCE]
You can use this control to adjust the brilliance of the tone and change the tonality to
suit your preference.
BRIGHT: Bright tone
NORMAL: Standard tone
MELLOW: Soft and mellow tone
To select a brilliance type, press the [BRILLIANCE] button a few times until the indica-
tor corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicator lights in sequence each time
you press the [BRILLIANCE] button). Brilliance can be selected among five types. When
two adjacent indicators are lit, the type that is between the two indicated types is
selected. For example, when both NORMAL and MELLOW are lit, the brilliance set-
ting between NORMAL and MELLOW is selected.
[REVERB]
This control enables you to select various digital reverb effects for adding extra depth
and expression to the sound and creating a realistic acoustic ambience.
OFF: When no reverb effect is selected, no REVERB indicator is lit.
ROOM: This setting adds a continuous reverb effect to the sound, similar to the
acoustic reverberation you would hear in a room.
HALL 1: For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates
the natural reverberation of a small-size concert hall.
HALL 2: For a truly spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect simu-
lates the natural reverberation of a large concert hall.
STAGE: Simulates the reverb of a stage environment.
Pressing the [REVERB] button repeatedly toggles the reverb on and off.
The indicators light in sequence each time the [REVERB] button is pressed. When all
indicators are off, no effect is produced.
Adjusting Reverb Depth
Adjust the reverb depth for the selected voice by using the
[–/NO] [+/YES] buttons
while holding the
[REVERB] button. Default depth settings are different for each voice.
The depth range is from 0 (no effect) through 20 (maximum reverb depth). The cur-
rent depth setting appears on the display while the [REVERB] button is held.
