PARAMETERS
“I can’t tell you what a parameter is, but I’ll know it when I see it.”
-US
Supreme
Court
The
PARAMETER
area is special in that the menus change to
reflect the options available in the currently running program.
The number of menu pages and their content vary from program
to program. Consequently, very little can be said about
parameters generally. But that’s not much of a liability; parameters
are easy to understand as you encounter them.
Many, but not all, of the programs in the DSP7000 support an
“expert mode” feature. The
expert mode
parameter controlling
this feature is found on the
misc
menu page in the
SETUP
area
(you may have to press the
SETUP
key a few times to find it). A
setting of
0
hides
all but the most relevant menu pages in the
PARAMETER
area. Conversely, a setting of
9
reveals
all of the available menu pages in the
PARAMETER
area.
Settings between
0
and
9
reveal a proportionate amount of menu pages in the
PARAMETER
area.
Leave
expert mode
at
9
if you like lots of parameters to tinker with, at
0
if you find lots of parameters an-
noying, or somewhere in-between if your tastes fall somewhere in-between.
While most parameter types are self-explanatory, there are a few special types that deserve specific mention:
Taps
Several programs use a tapped delay line. For a particular “tap,”
the
UP
and
DOWN CURSOR
keys select among three parameters:
•
dly
adjusts the delay position of a particular tap (the
number of milliseconds before the tap)
•
lvl
adjusts the level of a particular tap
•
pan
adjusts the stereo pan position of a particular tap
Use the
LEFT
and
RIGHT CURSOR
keys to select the particular tap for which you’re adjusting parameters.
The graphic to the right of the parameters represents the delay position and level of every tap in the bunch.
