The Main, Dual, and Split voices can each be set to have different amounts of Chorus. Use the corresponding Chorus Send Level parameters in the Function mode (Main: #05, Dual: #15, Split: #25) to control this. (See pages 31, 35, 37.)

The Chorus effect can also be turned on and off with a connected footswitch. (See page 91.)

The Chorus effect is applied only to the key- board-played voices.

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

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