Effect Type Reverb Hall
For nice results, hold down the sustain pedal and play leisurely arpeggios. Try to get full advantage from the
abrasive ringing in the lower-range peaks.
Use FC1 and FC2 to alter the peak's timbre and volume, or use CS2 to eliminate the peak entirely. (To familiarize
yourself with these effects, operate the controllers while playing in the lower ranges.)
Try moving MW2 up and back in the upper half of its range (above its midpoint position) to get the sound of a jew's
harp.
