Making Effects Settings in GM Mode
(EFFECTS)
In GM mode, a GM-exclusive Chorus and Reverb can be used.
Chorus and Reverb can be set independently.
Chorus: Adds depth and spaciousness to the sound.
Reverb: Adds the reverberation characteristics of halls or
auditoriums.
In GM mode, you cannot use Multi-effects.
The XV-5050's onboard effects can be turned on/off as a whole.
For details, refer to "Turning Effects On/Off" (p. 69).
