Creating Organ Sounds

Making the Sound Distort

1.Turn the Rotary Sound section’s [GAIN] knob toward the right.

Turning the knob toward the right will raise the gain, adding distortion to the sound.

About the amp types

The VR-700 also faithfully simulates the amp that is combined with the rotary speaker. The VR-700 simulates five different amp types, allowing you to produce various kinds of distortion.

You can change the amp type by editing the Function mode setting “Amp Type” (p. 52).

From a jazzy sound to a heavily overdriven sound suitable for rock, you can change the amp type to enjoy sounds suitable for a variety of musical styles.

Adding Reverberation (Reverb)

The reverb effect adds reverberation to the sound.

About the Active Amp Enhancer

Emphasizes the peculiarities of a particular amp’s distortion. When turned on, the sound is modified in a way that makes the lower range thicker while producing characteristic distortion in the middle to upper ranges; this modification takes into account the settings for the amp type and the current statuses of the expression pedal and harmonic bars.

Turning the [GAIN] knob clockwise makes the effect stronger.

Changes can be made by means of the Function mode’s “Active Amp Enhancer” (p. 52).

1.Turn the REVERB [LEVEL] knob to adjust the reverb depth.

Turning the knob toward the right will increase the reverb.

If you turn the knob all the way to the left, there will be no reverb.

Reverberation will be applied both to the organ sound and the ensemble sounds. You can adjust the reverb balance between the organ sounds and ensemble sounds. For details, refer to Function mode “Reverb Send Level” (p. 52, p. 53).

Changing the Reverb Type

By changing the reverb type you can experience the sensation of performing in a variety of locations.

1.Press the REVERB [TYPE] button.

The reverb type will change each time you press the [REVERB] button, and the display will indicate the reverb type.
