4. Applying effects to a sound
Depending on the program that you select, it may be difficult to hear the reverb or
chorus (effects). If you have selected a drum kit, the effect will not apply even if you
press the [CHORUS etc.] switch.
Adding Reverb to the sound
Applying this effect to a selected sound will create the illusion that you are playing in various
acoustical spaces such as a concert hall. This is called Reverb.

The [REVERB] switch indicator will light, and reverb will be applied to the sound.
