Making Reverb Settings
Reverb adds the reverberation characteristics of halls or auditoriums.
Six different types are offered, so you can select and use the type that
suits your purpose.
You can set the amount of reverb applied separately for each
individual tone (p. 49).
Reverb Type
Select the reverb type.
When you change the Reverb Type, the Reverb parameters will be
automatically adjusted to the optimal values. Rather than setting the
reverb parameters one by one, you can make the settings more easily
by first setting the Reverb Type and then changing only the necessary
parameters.
