Playing a Variety of Instrument Voices

Applying effects to the sound

You can apply the various effects to enhance the
instrument's sound.

Reverb
Adds the ambience of a club or concert hall to the
sound. Although the best-suited Reverb type is called
up by selecting a Song or Style, you can select another
one via Function number 035 (page 43). You can also
set the Reverb Level via Function number 036 (page
43).

Chorus
Makes the Voice sound richer, warmer and more
spacious. Although the best-suited Chorus type is
called up by selecting a Song or Style, you can select
another one via Function number 037 (page 43).

Panel Sustain
By turning on the Sustain parameter of Function
number 038 (page 43), you can add a fixed, auto-
matic sustain to the keyboard Voices. Sustain can
also be applied as desired with the footswitch (sold
separately; page 12).
NOTE
• Even if you turn on Panel Sustain, there are some Voices to
which sustain is not applied.
