Reverb/delay settings

These are the settings for the reverb and delay effects.
Four types of reverbs and four types of delays can be set as
effects.
Type Details
HALL
This is a hall-type reverb that simulates the
reverberations of a large concert hall or
ensemble hall.
STAGE This reverb simulates a stage with less
reverberations that that of the hall type.
ROOM This reverb simulates the reverberations of a
small room. The reverb includes multiple initial
reflections of the sound from the walls and ceiling.
SPRING
This reverb simulates the spring reverb sound
used in some guitar amps and organs.
DELAY
This is a simple stereo delay.
CROSS
This is a stereo delay that bounces back and
forth from left to right.
TAPE
This effect models the analog tape echo found
on popular devices. The effect recreates the
changes in tone from sound distortion and
vibration produced by the rotation of magnetic
tape and the motor. This offers a warm echo
sound.
MOD DLY This effect adds a pitch shift-type effect similar
to a chorus effect to a delay, creating a swelling,
wobbly delay sound.
1. Press the REVERB/DELAY button.
The LEDs of the button and the selection knob will light,
and the effect will be applied.
2. Use the selection knob to select the effect.
3. Adjust the amount of the effect to apply with the
DEPTH knob.
The value will be shown on the LEDs around the knob.
Reverb type is used to control the reverb level, and delay
type is used to control the delay level and feedback level at
the same time.
4. The delay and reverb times can be adjusted to
match the intervals at which you press the TIME-
TAP button.
The button will blink at the interval that is currently set.
Note:
The reverb time will be set to the interval between
taps, when you tap the button four times.
When using layered or split sound, the effect volume balance can
be adjusted with the "Reverb Send" effect edit parameter in the
KEYBOARDS and ENSEMBLE programs.
The settings in this section can be saved as a favorite.

The sound can be played right after changing the reverb or delay
effect settings, but the settings will return to their previous saved
state if you select a different favorite or turn off the power. To
save your settings, be sure to write the favorite to memory. (Refer
to "Saving a favorite that has been changed" on page 13.)

Steps for making system settings

The steps for making system settings basically involve the
following operations. Separate steps will be provided for steps
that differ from what is written below.

The word "SYSTEM" will display on the top line of the
KEYBOARDS section display.

Master Tune
0 (440.00 Hz)
3. Set the values using the LEVEL knob in the
KEYBOARDS section.
The values and setting details are shown on the third line of
the display.
Changing these values will immediately apply them as
system settings and save them to memory, even after the
