An Easy Way to Apply Effects
(Ambience)
The Ambience function provides a way to comprehensively
control the three built-in effects (reverb, flanger, equalizer),
making it easy to apply effects.
NOTE
When you turn Ambience on, the effect settings (p. 80) of the drum
kit and of each instrument will be ignored, and effects will be
applied according to the Ambience setting.
NOTE
When the drum kit where the Individual (p. 82) is set has been
selected, the Ambience cannot be used.
1. Press [AMBIENCE].
The following display will appear.
