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 simulates the natural reverberation of a large concert hall. STAGE: Simulates the reverb of a stage environment. Pressing the [REVERB] button repeatedly toggles the reverb on and off. The indicators light in sequence each time the [REVERB] button is pressed. When all indicators are off, no effect is produced. Adjusting Reverb Depth Adjust the reverb depth for the selected voice by using the [-/NO] [+/YES] buttons while holding the [REVERB] button. Default depth settings are different for each voice. The depth range is from 0 (no effect) through 20 (maximum reverb depth). The current depth setting appears on the display while the [REVERB] button is held.
