Effect Type Reverb Hall
Gentle brass sound. Probably not suited for rock performance.
The controllers have relatively mild effects on this voice, and do not change its fundamental image.
If you'd like more emphasis on filtering, raise CS2 slightly to add some resonance.
The Quick Edit EG parameters can produce some interesting effects. Raising EG SUSTAIN above its midpoint
causes filtering to be applied are then gradually released, producing a continually varying timbre. But setting
Performance EG DECAY all the way down at the same time will eliminate the timbre change, resulting in a strings padding sound.
