3.

Use the VALUE [Q]/[W] keys to select the desired effect type and setting value.
You can select one effect from a number of choices for the modulation effect and the delay/reverb effect, and then you can adjust the intensity of the effect by setting the value of a parameter. For information on effect types and setting values, see page 17 - page 20. To change the effect type and setting value, proceed as follows.

� To increase or decrease the setting value by one step
When you press one of the VALUE [Q]/[W] keys, the setting value changes by one step, such as C1 � C2 � C3 or C9 � C8 � C7. When the maximum or minimum setting is reached, the unit switches to the minimum or maximum setting of the next effect type, such as C9 � F1 or H1 � F9.

� To switch the effect type
When you press both of the VALUE [Q]/[W] keys together, the setting switches to the minimum of the next effect type, such as C5 � F1 or F3 � H1.
