PATCH CHO OUT (Patch Chorus
Output)
Output Assign (Chorus Output Assign) A/B/C
This setting selects the pair of OUTPUT jacks to which the
Chorus unit’s stereo output is routed when Chorus Output
Select is set to “MAIN” or “MAIN+R.”
Level (Chorus Level) 0–127
This setting determines the Chorus output level.
Select (Chorus Output Select)
This parameter allows you to send the Chorus output
directly to the currently selected OUTPUT jacks, to the
Reverb, or to both.
MAIN: The Chorus output is sent only to the OUTPUT jacks.
fig.2-03x.e
REV: The Chorus output is sent only to the Reverb.
fig.2-03y.e
MAIN+R: The Chorus output is sent to the OUTPUT jacks
and to the Reverb.
fig.2-03z.e
Making Reverb Settings
These settings allow you to select the desired type of Reverb,
its characteristics, and the pair of OUTPUT jacks to which the
Reverb unit’s stereo output is routed.
PATCH REV TYPE (Patch Reverb Type)
You can choose from a variety of reverb types.
Type (Reverb Type)
REVERB: Normal Reverb
BRIGHT ROOM:This reverb simulates typical room acoustic
reflections.
BRIGHT HALL:This reverb simulates typical concert hall
acoustic reflections.
BRIGHT PLATE:This reverb simulates a reverb plate, a
popular type of artificial reverb unit that derives its sound
from the vibration of a metallic plate. You can also achieve
unusual metallic-sounding reverbs using BRIGHT PLATE.
PATCH REV PRM (Patch Reverb
Parameter)
For REVERB
Type (Reverb/Delay Type)
This selects a type of reverb or delay.
ROOM1: This is a short reverb with high density
ROOM2: This is a short reverb with low density.
STAGE1: This is a long reverb.
STAGE2: This is a reverb with strong early reflections.
HALL1: This is a very clear-sounding reverb.
HALL2: This is a rich reverb.
DELAY: This is a conventional delay effect.
PAN-DLY: This is a delay effect with echoes that pan left and
right.
Time (Reverb/Delay Time)
When the Type setting is ROOM1–HALL2, this adjusts the
length of reverberation. When the Type setting is DELAY or
PAN-DLY, this adjusts the delay time.
Higher settings produce a more spacious ambience.
HF damp (Reverb/Delay HF Damp) *1
This specifies the frequency above which the high-frequency
content of the reverb sound will be cut, or “damped.”
Lower values cause a greater range of high frequencies to be
cut, producing a softer reverb sound.
If you do not want to damp the high frequencies, set this
parameter to BYPASS.
