<< Reference #1 >>
>> When you combine certain Voice Effects the
result produced can be very effective. For example, by
adding Vibrato and Reverb both to a member of the string
family, (VIOLIN 1, CELLO, etc.), you can express reality
and expanse simultaneously.
>> Also, it is possible to apply a Vibrato and/or
Reverb combination with the Harmony Effects. Then on top
of that, when you add the Pitch Bend Effect, it can sound
really super.
