Point 2 - Using the
The GR - | has two on-board effects: reverb and chorus. The reverb can also be used for delay or panning delay, while the chorus doubles as
Internal Reverb and Chorus
a flanger or a short delay anit.
Reverb and chorus settings are stored with each Patch, being instantly recalled when the Patch is selected.
This section contains examples of using reverb and chorus.
** Note: For details on making settings, refer to Section 4, ("3. Reverb/Chorus Editing in More Detail" ( «x P. 4-9).
[]Using
Reverb
The reverb in the GR - | contains ROOM 1 through 3 and HALL
| and 2 for conventional effects.
These reverbs create a deep, "live" sound.
Tf the reverb level is too high, however, and a long reverb time is used. the resulting sound can only be
described as a "sonic smear'.
Keep the following in mind when using reverb:
@ Lower the reverb level when the reverb time is long.
@ Shorten the time when the reverb level is high.
Naturally, these rules don't apply if you want to create special effects.
Reverb is also handy for making sounds. in the same way as are filiers. For example, adding a room
reverb with a short time to a percussion sound like the MARIMBA (Original Tone no. 15) can make
the sound fuller.
Reverb can also be used to successfully combine certain Tones which might otherwise 'clash'.
[lUsing
Delays
To produce a delay effect, set the reverb type to delay (DLY). Delays create effects which are totally
different from the rich sound of reverbs. Delays and reverbs should be used separately to suit each
Situation,
The delay time (0 to 127) sets the time interval for the repeats. This means that the delay time can
have much more impact than a different reverb setting. Delay time is a critical parameter.
For example. when a long delay is repeated several times, which is quite common in synthesized lead
sounds, the delay time is set to match the tempo of the music.
When stereo output is used, set the reverb type to P-D (panning delay} and reverb (delay) time and
delay feedback both to minimum to get a solid spread totally different from chorusi
