Playing the Keyboard

Adding Breadth to the Sound–Chorus Effect

The HP 237R allows you to add chorus to what you play on the keyboard.

By adding the Chorus Effect, you can give the sound greater dimension, with more fatness and breadth.

The settings of the Chorus Effect are memorized independently for each sound.

When the power is turned on, the Chorus Effect will be applied to the “Electric Piano 1”, “Electric Piano 2” and “Vibraphone” sounds. The Chorus Effect will be turned off for the other sounds.

While using the Dual (p. 16) or Split (p. 17) functions, lighting/extinguishing the [Chorus] button’s indicator will switch the Chorus Effect on/off for both sounds. (However, when Split is being used, the Chorus Effect will not be applied to the Acoustic Bass.)

After Dual or Split is cancelled, the piano reverts to the Chorus Effect setting that a particular sound normally carries.

The on/off status of the [Chorus] button is not remembered when Dual or Split are used.

The amount of Chorus can be changed. Please refer to “Changing the Depth of the

Chorus” (p. 27).
