About the Effect Settings

When the effects is set to ON, the appropriate effect is applied for the currently selected sound. You can also apply different effect types to each tone (except GS

tones and tones with the “ ” logo). Although turning off the power returns effects to their initial settings, carrying out Memory Backup (p. 165) allows you to save and store the settings even after the power is turned off.

For more on the effect types, refer to the “Effects List” (p. 191).

NOTE

Selecting a different effect for the left-hand Tone than the one applied to the right-hand Tone and Layer Tone may not result in the effect you want. Select the same effect as that used for the right-hand Tone.

NOTE

When you select an effect type that starts with “GS,” that type of effect is also applied for the chorus effect for the song or Music Style (p. 58) selected at that time.

All [Voice] button tones with a

“GS” or “ ” logo appearing after the tone name have the same effect applied to them. If the effect for one of the tones

with the “GS” or “ ” logo is changed, then the effects for the other tones with the “GS”

or “ ” logo are also changed automatically.
