Using the reverb effect
Reverb adds warmth to sounds by creating the impression of an acoustic environment. The P-100 lets you select one of
three different types of reverb to apply to each voice. The ROOM setting simulates the reverberation characteristics of
a normal-sized room. STAGE reproduces the reverberations you would hear during a live on-stage performance.
HALL gives a sense of a room with more space between the walls. Finally, the OFF setting — a fourth option which
does not appear as a label on the upper panel — lets you play voices without any reverb.
To change the reverb setting, simply press the [REVERB] button
repeatedly. The P-100 will cycle through the possibilities, the LED
next to the name of each reverb type lighting in turn to indicate
your selection. (None of the LEDs will light when the OFF setting
is selected.)
The P-100 also lets you set the
depth
or level of the reverb effect
for each voice. The depth value appears in the display each time
you select a different reverb type. To change the depth setting,
move the [DATA ENTRY] slider while holding down the
[REVERB] button.
You can set the reverb depth to a level between 0 and 7. Setting the
depth to 0 will effectively turn the reverb off, while a value of 7
will produce the most noticeable reverb.
The P-100 will remember your reverb type and depth settings individually for each of the ten voices. If, for example,
you set the HALL effect at depth 6 for the PIANO 1 voice, then try playing the vibes using ROOM reverb at depth 4,
the P-100 will automatically switch back to HALL depth 6 when you next select PIANO 1.
When you play two voices in Dual or Split modes, the P-100 will apply the main voice reverb type and depth settings
to both voices, ignoring any settings which you may have made for the sub voice.
