● SRV Hall—This is another SRV algorithm that simulates
the acoustics of a concert hall.
● SRV Plate—Digital simulation of a metal plate that is
sometimes used for creating reverb effects. Works well
for percussive sounds.
● GM2 Reverb—This reverb effect is Roland’s standard
type for GM2-compatible tone generators.
● Room1, Room2—These types simulate the reverb char-
acteristics of a room. The higher the number (1 or 2), the
bigger the “room” becomes.
● Stage1, Stage2—These types simulate the reverb char-
acteristics you get when you perform on a concert stage.
The higher the number (1 or 2), the bigger the “stage”
becomes.
● Hall1, Hall2—These types simulate the reverb of a small
(1) or large (2) concert hall and thus sound much “big-
ger” than the Room types above.
● Delay—A Delay effect (no reverb). Works a lot like an
echo effect and thus repeats the sounds.
● Pan Delay—This is a stereo version of the above Delay
effect. It creates repetitions that alternate between the
left and right channels.
[REVERB LEVEL] allows you to set the output level of
the Reverb processor. Setting this parameter to “0”
means that you no longer hear the effect in question.
If you don’t want to edit the effects parameters, con-
tinue with the next step, otherwise jump to step (5).

(5) After selecting a reverb type, you may want to
fine-tune some of its parameters. If so, proceed as
follows:
• Press the field of the parameter you wish to change
(the number of fields and their functions depend on
the selected type).
• Set the desired value.
● Pre Delay (0.0~100.0 ms)—Adjusts the delay time
between the direct sound until the reverb sound is
heard. This is used to simulate the distance between the
original signal and the reflective surfaces.
● Time (0~127)—The duration of the reverb signal. The
higher the value, the “longer” the simulated room
becomes.
● Size (1~8)—Determines how the later reverberations are
propagated, which gives the listener important clues
about the height of the simulated room.
● High Cut (160~12500Hz, Bypass)—Adjusts the fre-
quency above which the high-frequency content of the
reverb will be reduced. If you do not want to attenuate
the high frequencies, set this parameter to BYPASS.
● Density (0~127)—Density (number) of the reflections.
● Diffusion (0~127)—Adjusts the change in the density of
the reverb over time. The higher the value, the more the
density increases with time. (The effect of this parameter
is most pronounced with long reverb times.)
● LF Damp Freq. (50~4000Hz)—Adjusts the frequency
below which the low-frequency content of the reverb
sound will be reduced.
● LF Damp Gain (-36~0dB)—Adjusts the amount of
damping applied to the frequency range selected with LF
Damp. With a setting of “0”, there will be no reduction of
the reverb’s low-frequency content.
● HF Damp Freq. (4000~12500Hz)—Adjusts the fre-
quency above which the high-frequency content of the
reverb sound will be reduced or “damped”.
● HF Damp Gain (-36~0dB)—Adjusts the amount of
damping applied to the frequency range selected with
HF Damp. With a setting of “0”, there will be no reduc-
tion of the reverb’s high-frequency content.
● Character (Room1, Room2, Room3, Hall1, Hall2, Plate,
Delay, Pan Delay)—Type of reverb.
● Pre LPF (0~7)—Cuts the high frequency range of the
sound coming into the reverb. Higher values will cut
more of the high frequencies.
● Level (0~127)—Output level of the reverb signal.
● Time (0~127)—Time length of reverberation.
● Feedback (0~127)—Adjusts the level of the delay sound
that is fed back into the effect when the REVERB CHAR-
ACTER setting is “Delay” or “Pan Delay”.
● Time (0~127)—Time length of reverberation (for
“Room1”~“Hall2”) or delay time (for “Delay” and “Pan-
Delay”).
● HF Damp (200~8000Hz, Bypass)—Adjusts the fre-
quency above which the high-frequency content of the
reverb sound will be cut. If you do not want to cut the
high frequencies, set this parameter to BYPASS.
● Feedback (0~127)—(Only available for “Delay” and
“Pan-Delay”.) Adjusts the amount of delay feedback.

Note: Do not forget to save your settings to a User Program if
you want to keep them.
Parameter values can be set by turning the
[DATA÷ENTRY] dial, by pressing the [DEC]/[INC] but-
tons or by pressing the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial and using
the on-screen numeric pad.
