About the Effects

When the effects is set to ON, the optimal effect is applied for the currently selected sound. Also you can apply effects for each tone. Although turning off the power returns the effects to their initial settings, carrying out Memory Backup (p. 154) allows you to save and store the effect settings even after the power is turned off.

For more information on the different types of effects, take a look at the “Effects List” (p. 180).

You can select the type of chorus effect. Please refer to “Changing the Type of Chorus Effect” (p. 152).

The same effect will apply to all sounds of the [Voice/ GS] button that are followed by a “GS” symbol. If you change the effect for these sounds, the effect will also change for other sounds with the “GS” symbol.
