Selecting & Playing Voices Adding Variations to the Sound - [BRILLIANCE]/ [REVERB]/[EFFECT]/[DAMPER RES.] [-/NO] [+/YES] buttons [DAMPER RES.] [REVERB] button button ENGLISH [BRILLIANCE] [EFFECT] button button [BRILLIANCE] This control can be used to change the tonality or "timbre" of the sound output. BRIGHT: Bright tone NORMAL: Standard tone MELLOW: Soft and mellow tone Procedure To select a brilliance type, press the [BRILLIANCE] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicator lights in sequence each time you press the [BRILLIANCE] button). Brilliance can be selected among five types. When two adjacent indicators are lit, the type that is between the two indicated types is selected. For example, when both NORMAL and MELLOW are lit, the brilliance setting between NORMAL and MELLOW is selected. This parameter affects the entire sound of the instrument. [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: ROOM: HALL 1: HALL 2: STAGE: When no reverb effect is selected, no REVERB indicator is lit. This setting adds a continuous reverb effect to the sound, similar to the acoustic reverberation you would hear in a room. For a "bigger" reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates the natural reverberation of a small-size concert hall. For a truly spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect simulates the natural reverberation of a large concert hall. Simulates the reverb of a stage environment. TERMINOLOGY Normal setting: The "Normal setting" refers to the default setting (factory setting) obtained when you first turn on the power to the instrument. NOTE Normal setting = NORMAL NOTE 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. NOTE The default reverb type (including OFF) and depth settings are different for each voice. NOTE Releasing the [REVERB] button changes the reverb type. If you have changed the reverb depth, releasing the [REVERB] button will not change the reverb type. Procedure To select an reverb type, press the [REVERB] button a few times until the indicator corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicators light in sequence each time you press the [REVERB] button). No effect is produced when all indicators are off. 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. NOTE Depth 0: no effect Depth 20: maximum reverb depth Owner's Manual 21
