This section explains how to select and edit patches for the
send/return effect (reverb, chorus/delay).
The “reverb” and “chorus/delay” parts of the send/return effect
are separate and can be used independently.
Reverb and chorus/delay each have an effect type that
determines the general sound of effect, and various parameters
that let you adjust the sonic character. Settings for the effect
type and parameters, together with a name, are collectively
called send/return effect “patches”.
A newly created project contains 30 reverb patches and 30
chorus/delay patches. You can instantly switch reverb or
chorus/delay settings simply by choosing the effect for which
you want to select a patch (reverb or chorus/delay), and then
selecting a patch.
The number of patches available for each effect is as follows.
This section explains how to select a reverb or chorus/delay
patch.
1. On the main screen, hold down the [SHIFT]
key and press pad 5 (CHORUS/DELAY) or pad
6 (REVERB) so that the pad lights up.
The patch select screen for the send/return effect appears. For
example, if you have pressed pad 6 (REVERB), the following
indication appears.
2. Turn the dial to select the patch.
As you turn the dial, new patches will be called up
immediately.
3. Repeatedly press the [SELECT] key to select
DLY SEND (chorus/delay send level) or REV
SEND (reverb send level) as track parameter
to adjust.
4. Turn the respective parameter knob to adjust
the parameter.
You can press the PLAY [R] key to play back the song, and
listen to the result of the selected patch.

the send level (→ p. 79).
•To switch between the drum/bass track, use the [RHYTHM]

effect.

return effect off, hold down the [SHIFT] key
