Yamaha PSR-270, Portatone manual Effects, Style F32RevType, Reverb

EFFECTS

The PortaTone is equipped with a wide variety of effects that can be used to enhance the sound of the voices. Four general categories of effects are provided

—Reverb, Chorus, DSP, and Harmony — and each category has many effect types to choose from.

Application of the effects is also exceptionally flexible. All four effects can be used simultaneously, and the degree of the Reverb, Chorus, and DSP effects can be adjusted independently for each of the voices: Main, Dual, and Split.

REVERB

The Reverb effect reproduces the natural ambient “wash” of sound that occurs when a instrument is played in a room or concert hall. A total of eight different Reverb types simulating various different performance environments are available.

1 Turn on the Reverb effect.

Press the REVERB button.

3)After “FUNCTION” stops flashing, change the value (with the numeric keypad). For on/off settings, use the +/- buttons.

Restoring the Default Value

If you’ve changed the parameter setting, you can instantly restore the default setting by pressing both +/- buttons simultaneously.

3 Set the Reverb Send Level for the desired voice(s).

The Main, Dual, and Split voices can each be set to have different amounts of Reverb. Use the corresponding Reverb Send Level parameters in the Function mode (Main: #04, Dual: #14, Split: #24) to control this. (See pages 31, 35, 37.)

Reverb can also be turned on and off with a connected footswitch (page 91), or from Function parameter #31 (page 44).

•The panel REVERB on/off button affects only the keyboard played voices. If you want to turn off the Reverb effect for the overall PortaTone sound (including accompaniment and songs), set the Reverb Type (#9, page 45) to “off.”

•These settings are not saved when you turn off the power. If you wish to save them, save them to a User bank in the One Touch Setting feature (page 72).

•Three additional Reverb Types are available when controlling the PortaTone from a MIDI device. (For details, see page 116.)

If the Reverb Send Level is set to a value near or at “000,” the Reverb effect may not be heard.
