Midi Special Effects
“Reverb” makes music sounds as if played in auditorium with echo effect; adds lifelike quality
“Pan” adds spatial effect of instruments spread out on stage, eg with 1st violins on right and cellos on left. Reproduced in stereo playback
“Chorus” adds richer sound quality to strings and other instruments
“Vibrato” recreates pitch variation for voice or strings
“Pitch Bend” creates sliding change in pitch as in a glissando
In addition to regular instrument patches, sound effects of audience applause, cannon explosions (as in 1812 Overture) and other special sounds are available as GM patches
