A set of effect sounds is called an “SFX set.”

Touching <Drums> at the bottom of the screen makes it so that percussion instruments are sounded.

3. Pressing the [Drums/SFX] button again to return to the

previous sound.

The button’s indicator goes out, and the previous screen appears.

The sound played with the keyboard reverts to the instrument sound used before the [Drums/SFX] button was pressed.

Adding Reverberation to Sounds (The Reverb Effect)

The KF-90 can apply a reverb effect to the notes you play on the keyboard. Applying reverb adds pleasing reverberation to what you play, so it sounds almost as if you were playing in a concert hall.

effect to be applied.

Rotating the knob clockwise applies a deeper reverb, and rotating it

counterclockwise applies less reverb.
