Effects for Songs and Styles
The Reverb and Chorus processors are shared by the Arranger, Recorder/16-track sequencer and the Keyboard parts. Here is how to select different effects for the selected song or Style: (1) Press the [MENU] button. (2) Press the [EFFECTS] field.

G ROOM1, ROOM2, ROOM3�These types simulate the reverb characteristics of a room. The higher the number (1, 2 or 3), the bigger the �room� becomes. G HALL1, HALL2�These types simulate the reverb of a small (1) or large (2) concert hall and thus sound much �bigger� than the Room types above. G PLATE�Digital simulation of a metal plate that is sometimes used for creating reverb effects. Works well for percussive sounds. G DELAY�A delay effect (no reverb). Works a lot like an echo effect and thus repeats the sounds. G PAN DELAY�This is a stereo version of the above delay effect. It creates repetitions that alternate between the left and right channels.

On this page, you can switch the REVERB and/or CHORUS processor off by pressing the [OFF/ON] button icon to the right of its �display�. If you need to select another effect type, press the REVERB or CHORUS display and use the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial or the [DEC]/[INC] buttons to select it. If you also need to change certain aspects of that effect� (3) Press the [EDIT] button icon next to the �REVERB� or �CHORUS� display. Important remark The effects settings discussed below are primarily intended for real-time changes of the selected Style or song. They are not saved (not even to a User Program). When you select a different Music Style or song, the changes made here are lost. You can, however, save them (thus �burning� them into the Style or song) by pressing the [MAKEUP¥TOOLS] button and the [SAVE] field on the page that appears then (see p. 108). � Be aware that any changes you make here also affect the Keyboard parts. There are only one Reverb and one Chorus processor for all of the E-60/E-50�s parts.

Press the [REVERB¥LEVEL] field and set the desired value with the [DATA÷ENTRY] dial or the [DEC]/[INC] buttons. This parameter specifies the output level of the Reverb processor. Setting this parameter to �0� means that your no longer hear the effect in question. By contrast, setting a REVERB parameter on the mixer page for Styles to �0� means that only the selected instrument is no longer processed by the effect, while the remaining instruments are.
Note: See �Mixing Song or Style parts� on p. 102 for details.

Press [Back] to return to the display page with the �modules�. �or� Press the [EXIT] button to return to the main page.

Chorus for Style/Song parts

Chorus broadens the spatial image of the sound and creates a stereo impression. There are also other effect types you can choose here. Press the field of the effect type you wish to use.
G CHORUS1~CHORUS4�These are conventional Chorus effects that add spaciousness and depth to the sound. G FEEDBACK�This is a chorus with a flanger-like effect and a soft sound. G FLANGER�This is an effect that sounds somewhat like a jet airplane taking off and landing. G SHORT DELAY�This is a delay (echo effect) with a short delay time. G SHORT DLY FBK�This is a short delay with many repeats.
