I want to go reverb effects but my screen is not visible

1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
April 11, 2025

If the screen on the Roland E-09 is not visible, adjusting reverb effects becomes difficult because the process involves using the screen to select menu options and confirm settings. The steps normally require:

1. Press [FUNCTION] to turn it on.
2. Use the FAMILY [▲][▼] buttons to select “EFFECTS.”
3. Use SELECT [◄][►] to choose “REVERB.”
4. Use TEMPO [–][+] to change the reverb type.
5. Press TEMPO [ (YES)] to confirm and save.

Without screen visibility, you would need to rely on memorizing the button sequence and audio feedback, but precise adjustments are not guaranteed.
