ENGLISH [BRILLIANCE] This control can be used to change the tonality or "timbre" of the sound output. The control range is from MELLOW to BRIGHT. [REVERB] This control enables you to select various digital reverb effects that would add extra depth and expression to the sound to create a realistic acoustic ambience. OFF: When no reverb effect is selected, no REVERB indicator is lit. ROOM: This setting adds a continuous reverb effect to the sound, similar to the acoustic reverberation you would hear in a room. HALL 1: For a "bigger" reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates the natural reverberation of a small-size concert hall. HALL 2: For a truly spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect simu- lates the natural reverberation of a large concert hall. STAGE: Simulates the reverb of a stage environment. When the BRILLIANCE is set to BRIGHT, the overall sound will be slightly louder. If the MASTER VOLUME is set at a high level the sound may become distorted. If so, lower the MASTER VOLUME level. The default reverb type (including OFF) and depth settings are different for each voice. Procedure Pressing the [REVERB] button repeatedly toggles the reverb on and off. The indicators light in sequence each time the [REVERB] button is pressed. No effect is produced when all indicators are off. Even if the REVERB effect is OFF, a "Soundboard Reverb" effect will be applied when the [GRAND PIANO 1] voices are selected. Adjusting Reverb Depth Adjust the reverb depth for the selected voice by using the [-/NO] [+/YES] buttons while holding the [REVERB] button. The depth range is from 0 through 20. The current depth setting appears on the LED display while the [REVERB] button is held. depth [EFFECT] The [EFFECT] button allows you to select an effect to give your sound greater depth and animation.
