How do I turn off the reverb!?

Post by somestuidguitarist »

All I'm trying to do is turn off the reverb on a preset located/named (INT-F I-F085 Cavernous Toy Pluk). I've gone through every menu, including IFX and MFX and don't see ANYTHING labeled as a reverb. There is a delay, but I toggled that off, and there is still a boatload of reverb on the sound.

Is it even possible to shut the verb off from a built in preset? I don't know why Korg makes their effects editing screens look like something out of a NASA manual. Whatever happened to basic functions like on/off/mix/etc.?

Is Cavernous Toy Pluk a factory Combi/Program ?

I am not finding it on my K.

Anyway, review TFX on that program/combi.

Some sympathy, FX implementation is deep/complex on Kronos.

Kronos has high and long learning curve. If it was my 1st Korg keyboard , I would be baffled for some time.

Thank you for replying. It’s not a combi. I’m on a Kronos 2, not sure if that makes a difference or not. On my TFX screen both TFX1 and TFX2 say “no effect”.

This is my first real synth. I’ve had it for about a year and can navigate around to find sounds I want, but editing them is way more complicated than it needs to be in my opinion. I’m primarily a guitarist, but I’m used to editing and tweaking patches on my Kemper. I’ve played for 24 years. So to not be able to do something as basic as turn a reverb off, is ridiculous.

I was messing around with the knobs and found that if I turned the “mid frequency release” knob down, that cuts down the reverb. But I found that by luck. It’s not intuitive at all.

It's not reverb, it's from the amp envelope.

Look on the Amp EG page, and put the release to zero. No more tail.

On the main program page, there's a magnifying glass. If you search for 'cavern' you can find it on your K.

have you checked the 'release' setting on on the osc's .. ??

a long decay on the release time might sound like reverb ..??

A bit of an old thread, but here goes.

Cavernous Toy Pluk is a Program using the Str-1 Plucked String engine. There is no reverb in the effects chain for this Program.

Control knob 6 influences the Excitation section of the Str-1 engine, and is used to affect the amount of excitation that goes into forming the long tail. effectively making it sound as if the amount of reverb is being altered.
