Changing the Effects

The reverb time is the amount of time it takes for the reverberation

simulation to completely subside.

1Select the Reverb Time display page by pressing the [ PAGE+ ] or [ PAGE– ]

button. The current level flashes under the “R.TIME” prompt.

2Set the reverb time by rotating the Jog Dial or by using the [ +1 ] and [ –1 ]

buttons. The range is from “00” to “31”.

■Reverb Time

NOTE

With a setting at or near “00”, the reverberation ends quickly, giving you an

artificial, metallic effect. Using a higher setting, for example at or near “31”, causes

the reverberation to go on for a long time.

You can change the Reverb Time for the preset drum kits. Your altered setting will

stay in effect until you select another drum kit.
