Effects

The PSR-280 is equipped with a wide variety of effects that can be used to  enhance the sound 
of the voices.  The PSR-280 has three separate effect systems — Reverb, DSP, and Harmony — 
and each has many different effect types to choose from.

Reverb

The Reverb effect reproduces the natural ambient “wash” of sound that occurs 
when a instrument is played in a room or concert hall.  A total of eight different 
Reverb types simulating various different performance environments are avail-
able.
