Sound settingsEnable reverb
Toggle Reverb on to apply it to all instrument output — on the on-screen keyboard, through a MIDI keyboard, and during MIDI file playback. The effect is applied in real time; you'll hear the difference the moment you play a note.
Choose a preset
Tap the preset picker to browse the available reverb environments. Options range from intimate to expansive:
• Small Room — tight, close sound, slight ambience
• Medium Room — natural room sound, good all-rounder
• Large Room — noticeable tail, suits acoustic instruments
• Cathedral — long decay, dramatic and spacious
• Plate — bright and dense, classic studio reverb
Tap any preset and play a few notes to hear the effect.
Set the mix level
The Mix slider controls the balance between the dry (direct) signal and the reverb effect. At 0% the sound is completely dry. At 100% it's nearly all reverb. A setting between 30% and 50% gives a natural, balanced result for most instruments and room presets.
