First the observed phenomena: When I tried all the sounds I came across sax and flute ... which sounded quite disappointing (far away). However I knew from some online material that there is a better reed sound for the PX-560 ... but how? Then, one day I had it: The sax suddenly sounded great ... immediately had to play the Pink Panther with it ... phantastic. Next day the great sound was gone ... and no way to fix it. What happened? Meanwhile I know how to fix the broken reed sounds: 1. Select the sound in Upper 1 (only there it works) 2. Edit -> Effect -> DSP -> select "Early Reflection" Attached an example of sax as it plays per default and with the enhancement above (difference may be hard to hear on the PC - use headphones - big difference on the PX-560). Being happy that this problem is solved still some questions where the experts may be able to explain: 1. Why does Early Reflection change so much? The effect description has not much to do with the effect on the sound ... 2. This is a MUCH better sound for all reed instruments - how can I make this the default? 3. Changing Early Reflection in the Effects -> Reverb does not achieve the same results ... why not? 4. What if the reed instrument cannot go in Upper 1 (e.g. playing in split mode one may need brass in Lower 1 ...)? 5. Is there a way to get this resolved by using Hex Layers? (side comment: flute 2 seems not to use the DSP according to the manual appendix ... still it requires the trick above) SAX_STD.WAV SAX_EARF.WAV
