Mixer\Effect pages
The Effect level has four pages: 1 Reverb, 2 Chorus, 3 Delay, and 4 Equalizer, that can be
selected using the [PAGE] A/F buttons.
There is one Reverb, one Chorus, one Delay, and one Equalizer whose settings apply to all
parts assigned to them using the Reverb Send, Chorus Send and Delay Send (if available)
parameters, or the Equalizer On/Off switches (see page 15).

Only one parameter can be set at a time. That doesn't mean, however, that the invisible
parameter values are no longer valid when you select another parameter. Beware of selecting
Macros after tailoring the parameters to your needs, because selecting another Macro means
that all Parameter values will be reset to their default values.
E Macro
Room1, Room2, | These Reverbs simulate the Reverberation of a room. They provide a well-
Room3 defined spacious Reverberation.
Hall, Hall2 These Reverbs simulate the Reverberation of a concert hall. They provide a
' deeper Reverberation than the Room Reverbs.
Plate This effect type simulates a plate Reverb (a studio device using a metal plate to
simulate natural Reverb).
Delay This is a conventional Delay that produces echo effects.
This is a special Delay in which the Delayed sounds move left and right. It is
Macro allows you to select one of the effects (called Character) of the above table as well as
suitable (but preset) values for all Reverb parameters (Pre-LPF~RevPreDlyT). The difference
between Macro and Character (see below) is that the former does what its name implies: it
calls up a program Macro that includes Character selection and Parameter settings for the
selected Character (or type).
Note: Seeing that Delay usually only works for one part, use the dedicated Delay for echo effects.
That way, the Reverb effect can be used to "deepen" the sound field.
E Reverb parameters
(a) Character [0~7]
This parameter allows you to select a Reverb effect. Confused? Character only specifies the
Reverb type you need. It does not load preset values for the Pre-LPF~RevPreDlyT parame-
ters. As a matter of fact, Character (i.e. the choice of the Reverb type) is itself a Macro param-
eter. That explains why you can select the Room 2 Macro and set Delay for Character. Select-
ing another Character thus does not reset the other Parameter values to their factory settings.
A Macro, on the other hand, calls up a Reverb type and suitable settings for that effect.
