Effect Type Reverb Room 1

This voice becomes interesting as you master the use of the controllers.

The pitch wheel is particularly important: adjust the wheel during play to produce the nuance of a "tabla" or

"talking drum."

MW1 adds a rough, frictional pink-noise reverb effect.

FC1 and FC2 produce muted pitch changes, different from the effects you get with the pitch wheel.

Performance CS2 also produces pitch changes, based on velocity.

Hints

Bringing MW2 all the way down removes all inharmonic overtones, allowing you to use the lower ranges for bass

effects. But note that other controllers continue to remain effective.

If you are using a sequencer, try playing a simple phrase first, then merging in the controller signals later.
