Effect Structure
The P-250 features system effects and inser-
tion effects.
System effects
The system effects are applied to all parts globally.
The amount of effect can be set per part. The P-
250 system effects include one reverb and one
chorus. The amount of reverb and chorus is set via
the “ReverbSend” (page 66) and “ChorusSend”
(page 67) parameters in the “VOICE EDIT” menu.
• Reverb
Reverb can add a natural ambience and space to a
sound, simulating the natural reverberation of a con-
cert hall or live venue.
Refer to the “XG Effect Type list” on page 12 of the
separate “Data List” for a complete list of reverb types
included in the P-250.
• Chorus
Chorus adds spread and spaciousness, and is an effect
that modifies the sound of a single instrument to simu-
late a group of the same instrument.
Refer to the “XG Effect Type list” on page 12 of the
separate “Data List” for a complete list of chorus types
included in the P-250.

“VOICE EDIT” menu.
