Similar to yet different from echo, reverb is the indirect, diffuse sound of reflections from the walls and ceiling that accompany the direct sound. The characteristics of this indirect sound depends on the size of the room or space and the materials and furnishings in the room. Reverb Effect types use digital signal processing to simulate these characteristics.

Reverb designed for ✔ ✔ ✔ - enhancing solo instruments, derived from the Yamaha SPX1000. Reverb which lets you - - ✔ - set the space size by specifying the width, height, and depth. This effect isolates only the early reflection com- ponents of the reverb. ■ CHORUS Depending on the particular chorus type and parameters, this can make a voice sound "larger," as if several identical instruments were playing in unison, or it can give a voice greater warmth and depth. Effect Type VAR INS CHO Description G CHORUS This chorus effect produces a ✔ ✔ ✔ richer and more complex modulation than conventional cho- rus. 2 MODULATOR This chorus effect consists of pitch modulation and ampli- tude modulation. This effect uses a 3-phase SPX CHORUS LFO to add modulation and spaciousness to the sound. SYMPHONIC ✔ ✔ ✔ A multi-stage version of SPX CHORUS modulation. ENSEMBLE DETUNE Chorus effect without modula✔ ✔ ✔ tion, created by adding a slightly pitch-shifted sound. ■ TREMOLO & ROTARY The tremolo effect cyclically modulates the volume. The Rotary Speaker effect simulates the characteristic vibrato effect of a rotary speaker. Effect Type AUTO PAN TREMOLO ROTARY SPEAKER VAR INS Description ✔ ✔ Cyclically moves the sound left/right and front/back. ✔ ✔ Cyclically modulates the volume. ✔ ✔ Simulation of a rotary speaker. ■ DELAY An effect (or device) that delays an audio signal for ambient or rhythmic effects. Effect Type CHO VAR INS MEF Description CROSS DELAY ✔ ✔ ✔ The feedback of the - two delayed sounds is crossed. TEMPO CROSS DELAY ✔ ✔ ✔ - Cross delay synchronized with the tempo. TEMPO DELAY MONO ✔ ✔ ✔ - Mono delay synchronized with the tempo. TEMPO DELAY STEREO ✔ ✔ ✔ - Mono delay synchronized with the tempo. CONTROL DELAY Delay with delay time controllable in real time. DELAY LR ✔✔✔ - Produces two delayed sounds: L and R. DELAY LCR ✔✔✔ Produces three - delayed sounds: L, R and C (center). DELAY LR (Stereo) Produces two delayed sounds in stereo: L and R.
