Adding Variations to the Sound — [BRILLIANCE]/
[REVERB]/[EFFECT]/[DAMPER RES.]
[BRILLIANCE]
This control can be used to change the tonality or “timbre” of the sound output.
BRIGHT: Bright tone
NORMAL: Standard tone
MELLOW: Soft and mellow tone
To select a brilliance type, press the [BRILLIANCE] button a few times until the indica-
tor corresponding to the desired type lights (the indicator lights in sequence each time
you press the
[BRILLIANCE] button). Brilliance can be selected among five types. When
two adjacent indicators are lit, the type that is between the two indicated types is
selected. For example, when both NORMAL and MELLOW are lit, the brilliance set-
ting between NORMAL and MELLOW is selected. This parameter affects the entire
sound of the instrument.
[REVERB]
This control enables you to select various digital reverb effects that would add extra
depth and expression to the sound to create a realistic acoustic ambience.
OFF: When no reverb effect is selected, no REVERB indicator is lit.
ROOM: This setting adds a continuous reverb effect to the sound, similar to the
acoustic reverberation you would hear in a room.
HALL 1: For a “bigger” reverb sound, use the HALL 1 setting. This effect simulates
the natural reverberation of a small-size concert hall.
HALL 2: For a truly spacious reverb sound, use the HALL 2 setting. This effect simu-
lates the natural reverberation of a large concert hall.
STAGE: Simulates the reverb of a stage environment.
To select an reverb type, press the [REVERB] button a few times until the indicator cor-
responding to the desired type lights (the indicators light in sequence each time you
press the
[REVERB] button). No effect is produced when all indicators are off.
Adjusting Reverb Depth
Adjust the reverb depth for the selected voice by using the [–/NO] [+/YES] buttons
while holding the [REVERB] button. The depth range is from 0 through 20. The cur-
rent depth setting appears on the LED display while the [REVERB] button is held.

TERMINOLOGY
Normal setting:
The “Normal setting” refers to the
default setting (factory setting)
obtained when you first turn on
the power to the instrument.
NOTE
Normal setting = NORMAL
NOTE
When the BRILLIANCE is set to
BRIGHT, the overall sound will be
slightly louder. If the MASTER
VOLUME is set at a high level the
sound may become distorted. If
so, lower the MASTER VOLUME
level.
Procedure
NOTE
The default reverb type (including
OFF) and depth settings are dif-
ferent for each voice.
NOTE
Releasing the [REVERB] button
changes the reverb type.
If you have changed the reverb
depth, releasing the [REVERB]
button will not change the reverb
type.
Procedure
NOTE
Depth 0: no effect
Depth 20: maximum reverb depth
