Adding Breadth to the Sound
(CHORUS/DELAY)

You can adjust chorus/delay depth in a range of 0–127.
MEMO
You can select the type of chorus/delay in the MENU screen 0
“SYSTEM EFFECTS” 0 “Sys Chorus” page.
NOTE
In the [MENU] 0 [SCENE EDIT] 0 [ZONE EDIT] 0 “INTERNAL”
page, if the “Cho Send (chorus send)” value is set to “0,” no chorus/
delay eect is applied. Also, depending on the settings of the Scene,

an eect. For details, refer to “Making Detailed Settings for Tones”
(p. 22).
Modifying the Sound in Real Time

details, refer to “Assigning the Function of Each Controller” (p. 20).
