The MC-505 comes with three effects units: reverb,
delay and EFX. Each of them can be set independently.
The following diagram shows the signal flow for these
effects.

Since the effect settings you modify can be saved for
each pattern, effect settings can be switched simply by
selecting a pattern.
To save modified effects settings in a pattern...
☞ ÒSaving Patterns You've Modified (Pattern
Write) (p. 26)
* If you switch patterns while playback is stopped, all effect
settings will be updated. However, if you switch patterns
during playback, reverb and delay parameters other than
Part Reverb Level and Part Delay Level will maintain the
values of the previous pattern.

Adding Reverberation to the
Sound (Reverb)
Reverb is an effect which adds reverberation and
ambiance to the sound, creating an impression of spa-
tial depth. It simulates the sound of music played in a
concert hall. In the REVERB section you can make set-
tings which control the reverb.
Selecting the Type (Reverb Type)
One of the following six basic types of reverb can be
selected.
1. Press [EFFECT SELECT].
While the button is pressed, the currently selected
Reverb Type will be shown in the left of the display.
2. Hold down [EFFECT SELECT] and rotate the
[REV LEVEL] knob to select the Reverb Type.
