About Digital Effects (Reverb/Chorus/DSP)

There are three types of digital effects installed in the PSR-530: the reverb effect (system effect), the chorus effect (system effect) and the DSP effect (can be set as either as a system effect or insertion effect).

There are basically two ways to use the effects: with the DSP effect set as a system effect or as a insertion effect. Each different way will be explained here.

Although not all the effect settings cannot be made by operating the PSR-530 panel manually, some of them may be accessible through MIDI.

When DSP type Is Selected as a System Effect

The three PSR-530 effects will be connected as shown below.

The signal will enter reverb/chorus/DSP according to the send level set for each, and the signal with the effect applied will be output according to the return level that is set. The reverb/chorus/DSP send levels are set for each part (track) with the Revoice mode. The reverb/chorus/DSP return levels value are set in common for all the parts.

The stereo panning is available for each of the reverb, chorus and DSP at the output for their signals. Using MIDI, the panning position for the effect can be set (page 115).

If a “Send Chorus to Reverb” (page 115) signal is transmitted to the PSR-530 from an external MIDI device, a signal can be sent from the chorus to the reverb (connected in series). Also, if a “Send Variation (DSP) to Reverb” (page 116) signal is transmitted, a signal can be sent from the DSP to the reverb and in the same way if a “Send Variation (DSP) to Chorus” signal (page 116) is transmitted a signal can be sent from DSP to the chorus. If these signals are used, the three effects can be connected in series, or used separately, and a lot of different effects can be produced.
