Chorus adds depth and
spaciousness to the sound. This
adjusts the level of the signal

0–127
Reverb adds the reverberation
characteristics of halls or
auditoriums. This adjusts the

Cutoff -64–+63
This specifies the cutoff
frequency at which the filter will
begin affecting the spectral
components of the sound. Turn
the knob toward the right to
brighten the sound, or toward
the left to darken the sound.
Resonance -64–+63
This boosts the sound in the
region of the cutoff frequency,
adding a distinctive character to
the sound. Turn the knob toward

character, or toward the left to
decrease it.
Attack Time -64–+63
Adjusts the attack time (the time

shorten it.
Decay Time -64–+63

vibrato. Higher settings produce
