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. They are Room 1&2, Stage, and Hall 1&2. (listed in order of reverberation amount).

CHORUS

Chorus is an effect that simulates the rich character of a vocal choir or string ensemble, by layering a slightly detuned version of the sound over the original to enrich it.

DELAY

Delay is an effect that adds echoes to the sound. There are three types of delay available (delay 1 - 3), each of which has a different length of delay between the echoes.

TREMOLO

This is a vibrato type effect.

ROTARY

This effect simulates the sound of the Rotary Speaker cabinet commonly used with electronic organs. Rotary 1 is normal rotary and Rotary 2 is with distortion effect.

The soft pedal is used to change the speed of the rotor between SLOW and FAST.
