EFFECTS
The Reverb effect reproduces the natural ambient “wash” of sound that
occurs when a instrument is played in a room or concert hall. A total of
eight different Reverb types simulating various different performance
environments are available.
1 Turn on the Reverb effect.
Press the REVERB button.
Reverb can also be turned
on and off with a connected
footswitch (page 91), or
from Function parameter
#31 (page 44).
2 Set the desired Reverb Type in the Function mode.
Do this in the normal way:
1) Press the FUNCTION button.
2) Select the desired Function parameter number (#31, #32) with the
numeric keypad. (For a list of the Reverb Types, see page 45.)
• The panel REVERB on/off
button affects only the
keyboard played voices. If
you want to turn off the
Reverb effect for the overall
PortaTone sound (including
accompaniment and
songs), set the Reverb Type
(#9, page 45) to “off.”
• These settings are not
saved when you turn off the
power. If you wish to save
them, save them to a User
bank in the One Touch
Setting feature (page 72).
• Three additional Reverb
Types are available when
controlling the PortaTone
from a MIDI device. (For
details, see page 116.)
3 Set the Reverb Send Level for the desired voice(s).
The Main, Dual, and Split voices can each be set to have different amounts
of Reverb. Use the corresponding Reverb Send Level parameters in the
Function mode (Main: #04, Dual: #14, Split: #24) to control this. (See
pages 31, 35, 37.)
If the Reverb Send Level is
set to a value near or at
“000,” the Reverb effect
may not be heard.
REVERB
The PortaTone is equipped with a wide variety of effects that can be used to
enhance the sound of the voices. Four general categories of effects are provided
— Reverb, Chorus, DSP, and Harmony — and each category has many effect types
to choose from.
Application of the effects is also exceptionally flexible. All four effects can be used simultaneously, and
the degree of the Reverb, Chorus, and DSP effects can be adjusted independently for each of the
voices: Main, Dual, and Split.
