Giving More Breadth to the Accompaniment Sound

Adding a Surround Sound to the Accompaniment and Reverb (Surround)

The “Surround Accomp Screen” appears.

Touch <Surround Accomp>.

Connect amp or external speaker to the Aux jack.

Cancelling the Effect

The Surround effect is eliminated, and the effect is no longer applied to any of the parts.

When using the Surround function, sounds are output from the external speaker even when headphones are connected.

When using headphones, touch <Advanced 3D> to have the Advanced 3D effect applied.

NOTE

You cannot use the Surround function when Aux Out is set to “Concert Mode” (p. 177).

For more on the speaker settings when the Surround function is used, refer to “Setup Examples With Aux Set to Surround” (p. 177).

You can adjust the volume of the external and built-in speakers (p. 37).
