Basic Operation The following chapters describe some further basic functions which you can use in addition to those already explained. 1) Keep pressing the REVERB button until the effect of your choice has been selected. 4.1 Using two sounds (Layer Mode) Instead of a single sound you can also play two sounds simultaneously on the EG2280USB/EG8280USB. These sounds are layered and can be played together over the entire keyboard. 1) In the TONE section, simultaneously press the buttons of the sounds to be layered. The LEDs above the buttons light up to show that the associated sounds have been selected. The active effect is shown by an LED lighting up next to the effect name. ◊ If none of the four LEDs lights up, the room effect is disabled. 2) Keep the REVERB button pressed while adjusting the original vs. effect signal ratio in the VALUE/SONG section using the -/ NO and +/YES buttons. In our example the sounds "GRAND 1" and "STRINGS" are layered. ◊ To quit layer mode, press any button in the TONE section. This will also select one single sound again. 4.2 Changing the sound character You can change the sound character by using a room and a modulation effect as well as a color equalizer. 4.2.1 Color equalizer Use the Color equalizer to change the sound character and make it softer or more brilliant. 1) Change the sound character with the COLOR control as follows: + The display reads: 0 . . . 20: Effect intensity (0 = no effect, 20 = maximum effect) 3) If you want to restore the default settings, keep the REVERB button pressed, then press -/NO and +/YES simultaneously. • Move the control to the left ( ) for a softer sound that is darker in tone. • Move the control to the right ( ) for a more brilliant sound. 4.2.2 Room effects The EG2280USB/EG8280USB provides room effects simulating four reverb rooms of different sizes. When you select a sound, the EG2280USB/EG8280USB also selects an appropriate effect. If required, however, you can always select any other effect. The following reverb room simulations are available: CHAMBER: Simulates a small room. CONCERT: Simulates a small concert hall. CHURCH: Simulates a large concert hall.

When you select a sound, the EG2280USB/EG8280USB automatically adds an appropriate effect for some of the sounds. If required, however, you can always select any other effect. The following modulation effects are available: CHORUS: Chorus effect. "widens" the sound. FLANGER: Time-shifted layering of sounds. Produces a "floating" sound. TREMOLO:  Rapid, constantly repeated changes in the volume of the sound. DELAY:  Echo effect. Produces time-shifted repetitions of the sound that decay over time.
