parameter is set to maximum and the “ChoRtn” parameter is set to “000”, the
chorus stage and reverb stage are effectively connected in series.

higher the value, the more variation signal is sent
to the chorus stage. If this parameter and the PLAY
mode “VarRtn” parameter are both set to values
higher than “001”, the output of the variation stage
will be sent in corresponding amounts to the input
of the chorus stage and the main outputs. This
parameter becomes available when the
“VarConnect” parameter is set to “SYS” (i.e. when
the variation stage is connected as a system effect.)
