Multi-Effects; Reverb - Roland MC-909 Owner's Manual

Effects

Multi-effects

These are general-purpose multi-effects that can transform the
sound, and give it a completely different character. MFX1 provides
38 types, and MFX2 provides 47 types. You can select one effect type
for each of these two effect units. A wide range of types are included,
such as distortion and flanger. Although the multi-effect types
include a compressor, this is independent of the compressor
described earlier.

Depth of reverb applied to the
sound processed through
multi-effect 1 (2)
Set this to 0 if you don't
want to apply reverb.
Output destination of the
sound processed through

DRY: MIX OUTPUT jacks
MFX2: Multi-effects 2
(multi-effects 1 and 2 will be
connected in series)

for MFX 1.

Reverb

Reverb is an effect that creates the reverberation that is characteristic
of sound heard in a hall. You can choose from four types of reverb.

Explanation
Type of reverb
OFF: Reverb not used
1 (REVERB): Basic reverb
2 (SRV ROOM): A more de-
tailed simulation of room
reverberation
3 (SRV HALL): A more de-
tailed simulation of hall re-
verberation
4 (SRV PLATE): A simula-
tion of a plate echo (a reverb
device using a metal plate)
Type of reverb/delay
ROOM1: Short, high-densi-
ty reverberation
ROOM2: Short, low-density
reverberation
STAGE1: A greater amount
of late reverberation
STAGE2: Emphasis on ear-
ly reflections
HALL1: Clear reverberation
HALL2: Rich reverberation
DELAY: A conventional de-
lay
PAN-DELAY: A delay in
which the reflected sound
moves between left and
right
