Effects
The PSR-280 is equipped with a wide variety of effects that can be used to enhance the sound
of the voices. The PSR-280 has three separate effect systems — Reverb, DSP, and Harmony —
and each has many different effect types to choose from.

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 avail-
able.
