6) REVERB, EFFECTS, AND EQ

The EP3 digital piano allows performers to alter sounds by adding reverb, applying effects, and adjusting equalisation (EQ).

When selecting some internal sounds, the LED indicator for the EFFECTS or REVERB buttons may turn on automatically. This is because certain internal sounds are prepared with an effect enabled as the default setting, enhancing tonal quality and improving acoustic realism.

￿REVERB

Reverb adds reverberation to the sound, simulating the acoustic environment of a recital room, stage, or concert hall. There are five types of reverb available:

Reverb type

The LED indicator for the REVERB button will turn off, indicating that the reverb simulation has been deactivated.

￿￿Reverb settings are specific to each individual sound.

￿￿Any changes made to the reverb type or on/off status will remain until the power is turned off.

￿￿When the power is turned off, the reverb settings will return to the default settings, however it is possible to use the Memory Backup function to store the preferred reverb on/off setting. Please refer to the instructions on page 56 for more information.
