Brilliance is the sound’s brightness. You can set an overall in- crease or decrease of brilliance.

This is the same parameter you can change with the BRIL- LIANCE button (see page 17). However, contrary to the but- ton, these changes can be memorized, and are preserved even when turning the instrument off.

Note: Brilliance changes can be recorded into a song. If you lat- er change them again, values recorded in the song are left un- changed.
