Making Chorus Settings
Here’s how to adjust parameters such as modulation depth 
and speed for the chorus sound.
Procedure for Setting Chorus
1. Select the patch for which Chorus is to be set, and press 
[EFFECTS] to go into Patch Edit mode.
2. Use [PARAMETER] to select the CHORUS-related 
parameter.
For a description of the chorus parameter types, “Chorus 
parameters and their significance.”

3. Use [VALUE] to choose the setting value.
For the setting values, see the subsequent section, 
“Chorus parameters and their significance.”
4. Repeat steps 2 to 3 to set all chorus parameters.
5. Press [WRITE] to perform the Patch Write operation (p. 
* After performing the Patch Write operation, you will 
automatically return to Play mode.
* If you don’t want to save the Patch, press [PLAY] to return to 
Play mode.
 Chorus parameters and their significance
CHO SEND LEVEL (Chorus Send Level)
Specifies the volume of the chorus.
Increasing this setting will raise the volume.
CHORUS RATE
Specifies the modulation frequency of the chorus effect.
Higher values result in a faster modulation (cycle).
CHORUS DEPTH
Specifies the modulation depth of the chorus effect.
As this setting is increased, the modulation will become 
deeper.
CHORUS PRE-DELAY
Specifies the delay between when the original sound is heard 
and when chorusing begins.
Higher settings will make the sound more spacious.
CHORUS FEEDBACK
Adjusts the amount of chorus sound that is returned (fed 
back) to the input of the chorus.
Higher settings create more complex chorusing.
Making Reverb Settings
With the GR-33 you can pick one of eight types (REVERB 
TYPE), and then freely make your own settings to reverb 
amount and length. Depending on the type you select, delay 
(an effect that repeats a sound, sort of like a mountain echo), 
is also available.
Procedure for Setting Reverb
1. Select the patch for which Reverb is to be set, and press 
[EFFECTS] to go into Patch Edit mode.
2. Press [PARAMETER] to select “REVERB TYPE.”
fig.6-01
3. Use [VALUE] to select the reverb type.
For the setting values, see the subsequent section, 
“Reverb parameters and their significance.”
4. Use [PARAMETER] to choose a reverb parameter that 
has not set.
For a description of the reverb parameter types, “Reverb 
parameters and their significance.”
5. Use [VALUE] to choose the value.
6. Repeat steps 4 to 5 to set all reverb parameters.
7. Press [WRITE] to perform the Patch Write operation (p. 
* After performing the Patch Write operation, you will 
automatically return to Play mode.
* If you don’t want to save the Patch, press [PLAY] to return to 
Play mode.
