Using the Effects

The compact MU15 is packed with an enormous amount of sonic power and
flexibility.  In addition to the huge amount of instrument Voices, the MU15
features a built-in multi-effect processor with three independent digital effects:
Reverb, Chorus, and Variation.

In this section, you’ll learn how to apply the effects, change the effect type,
and set how much effect is applied for each Part.  (See the Reference section
of this manual for information about specific effect parameters.)

Judicious use of Reverb creates a sense of space and enhances the
realism of the Voices.  The Reverb Type that you select is applied to
all Parts; however, the amount of Reverb for each Part can be
adjusted.  This lets you add special textures to the mix of a song,
such as “drenching” one Part in Reverb while another Part is kept
“dry.”

The Chorus effect section features a variety of pitch modulation
effects.  These let you subtly enhance or “fatten” the sound, or
completely transform the sound in wild and unique ways.  As with
Reverb, only one Chorus Type can be used for all Parts; however, the
amount of Chorus for each Part can be adjusted.

Since the methods of using Reverb and Chorus are identical, both
are covered here together.
