Effect Type Reverb Hall
Another bizarre VP1 voice; excellent accompaniment for a sci-fi movie scene. Try playing a chord at the keyboard,
holding down the sustain pedal, then moving MB and MW1 up and back.
MB can control the metallic volume and is a particularly important controller for this voice. Use it in combination
with the PITCH wheel to evoke a feeling of mystery.
Fully depressing FC1 cuts off almost all the sound.
Performance
Hints Application of strong velocity adds a clearly pitched decay sound, so be sure to give the keys a powerful strike
from time to time.
