Appendix: About Digital Effect
Digital Effect Configuration
The PSR-520 features three types of digital effectors: Reverb, Chorus and DSP. Reverb
and Chorus effectors are exclusively used for enhancing and varying their respective effect
types. On the contrary the DSP effector can be used to select a variety of effect types such as
Distortion, Equalizer, Reverb and Chorus.
All the digital effects are connected or routed in one of two ways: System or Insertion. All
types of Reverb and Chorus effects classified as System effects. DSP, on the other hand, can
be configured as either System or Insertion effects. DSP configuration varies depending on
the type selected: System or Insertion illustrated below.
Each digital effect can be applied to the performance and incoming performance data
through MIDI IN, accompaniment and song playback. Each effect send level can independ-
ently be set for each voice (Reverb and Chorus for the VOICE function voice, Dual voice and
Split voice. DSP for the VOICE function voice only), while each effect return level affects
entire system.
