Functions of Parameters

The functions of Reverb parameters are explained according to the display arrangement.

REV TYPE

Type (Reverb Type)

Selects the type of Reverb.

OFF: Reverb is not used.

REVERB: Normal Reverb

SRV ROOM: This reverb simulates typical room acoustic

reflections.

SRV HALL: This reverb simulates typical concert hall acoustic reflections.

SRV PLATE: This reverb simulates a reverb plate, a popular type of artificial reverb unit that derives its sound from the vibration of a metallic plate. You can also achieve unusual metallic-sounding reverbs using SRV PLATE.

Source (Reverb Source)

Selects the Reverb parameter settings that will be used by the Performance. If you wish to use the Performance settings, select PERFORM. If you wish to use the settings of the Patch/Rhythm Set assigned to one of the Parts, select the Part number.

If you have selected the Part number here, the Part number will be displayed in the upper left of the REV parameter setting display of Performances.

This parameter is not available when a Patch or Rhythm Set is being selected.

When Patch or Rhythm Set Settings Are Selected

When the Patch or Rhythm Set’s Reverb settings are selected, those settings are shown in each of the Performance’s REV settings pages, and the settings can be then be changed as well. Changes to Patch or Rhythm Set Reverb parameter settings are lost when another Patch or Rhythm Set is selected. To keep the modified settings, save the Patch/Rhythm Set settings (p. 164).

Chapter 7. Adding Effects

REV PRM (REV Parameter)

Sets the parameter for the Reverb selected by the Reverb type. The parameters that can be set depend on Reverb you’ve selected.

When the Type parameter in the REV TYPE page is set to 00:OFF, the REV PRM page will not be displayed.

● For Type: REVERB

Type (Reverb/Delay Type)

This selects a type of reverb or delay.
ROOM1: This is a short reverb with high density
ROOM2: This is a short reverb with low density.
STAGE1: This is a long reverb.
STAGE2: This is a reverb with strong early reflections.
HALL1: This is a very clear-sounding reverb.
HALL2: This is a rich reverb.
DELAY: This is a conventional delay effect.	7
	Chapter
PAN-DLY: This is a delay effect with echoes that pan left and
right.

Time (Reverb/Delay Time)

When the Type parameter setting is ROOM1–HALL2, this adjusts the length of reverberation. When the Type parameter setting is DELAY or PAN-DLY, this adjusts the delay time.

Higher settings produce a more spacious ambience.

HF Damp (Reverb/Delay HF Damp)

This specifies the frequency above which the high-frequency content of the reverb sound will be cut, or “damped.” Lower values cause a greater range of high frequencies to be cut, producing a softer reverb sound.

If you do not want to damp the high frequencies, set this parameter to BYPASS.

Fbk (Delay Feedback)

When the Type parameter setting is DELAY or PAN-DLY, this adjust the amount of delay feedback, controlling the number of delay repeats.

Higher values result in more repeats.
