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
reections 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 eect models the analog tape echo found
on popular devices. The eect recreates the
changes in tone from sound distortion and
vibration produced by the rotation of magnetic
tape and the motor. This oers a warm echo
sound.
MOD DLY This eect adds a pitch shift-type eect similar
to a chorus eect 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 eect.
3. Adjust the amount of the eect 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.)
