Type

This selects the reverb type. You can change the settings to obtain simulations of various different spaces.

Room 1:

Simulates the reverberation in a small room. Provides the bright reverberation of a live room.

Room 2:

Simulates the reverberation in a small room. Provides warm reverberations.

Hall 1:

This simulates the reverberation of a concert hall. Provides clear reverberation that spreads out through the sound space.

Hall 2:

This simulates the reverberation of a concert hall. Provides a mild, understated reverberation sound.

Plate:

Simulates plate reverberation (a reverb unit that uses the vibration of a metallic plate). Provides a metallic sound with an extended upper range.

Reverb Time

Adjusts the length (time) of reverberation.

Pre Delay

Adjusts the time until the reverb sound appears.

Low Cut

The low-cut filter cuts the frequencies below the specified frequency. This setting adjusts the frequency at which the low-cut filter begins to take effect.

High Cut

The high-cut filter cuts the frequencies above the specified frequency. This setting adjusts the frequency at which the high-cut filter begins to take effect. When “Flat” is selected, the high-cut filter has no effect.

Density

Adjusts the density of the reverb sound.

Effect Level

Adjusts the volume of the reverb sound.

Type

Select from the following two types.

Single:

This is a conventional delay

Pan:

This is a delay effect for use only with stereo output. Delay times are assigned individually to the left and right channels, providing a tap delay effect.

Delay Time

This determines the delay time. You can make settings in 20- millisecond units.

*When set to BPM, the value of each parameter is set according to the value of the Master BPM (p. 44) specified for each patch. This makes it easy to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the song (synchronizing the cycle to one-half or one-fourth of the BPM when the set cycle rate is increased).

When setting to the BPM, press PARAMETER [ ] to display the Master BPM settings screen.
