Yamaha SPX1000, Operation Manual

Page: 8 / 79

THE CONNECTOR PANEL
L(MONO) & R INPUT Connectors and Level
Switch
These are the analog stereo inputs to the SPX1000. The
input jacks are standard 1/4” monaural phono types. The
level switch selects either -20 dB or +4 dB nominal input
level. Please note that the operation of the INPUT
jacks
depends on the selected INPUT and DIGITAL I/O modes.
Refer to “INPUT MODES” and DIGITAL I/O MODES”
on page 6 for details.
When an input mode has not been selected and only one
input is being used, input is through L(MONO).
L & R OUTPUT Connectors and Level Switch
The stereo analog outputs from the SPX1000. The output
jacks are standard l/4” monaural phono types. The level
switch selects either -20 dB or +4 dB nominal output
level. Please note that the operation of the OUTPUT
jacks depends on the selected DIGITAL I/O mode. Refer
to “DIGITAL I/O MODES” on page 7 for details.
DIGITAL IN and OUT Connectors
These are the SPX1000’s stereo digital inputs and
outputs. All digital data is handled in Yamaha format.
The DIGITAL IN and OUT connectors are directly
compatible with other Yamaha equipment that provides
digital I/O capability – the DMP7D Digital Mixing
Processor and DEQ7 Digital Equalizer are excellent
examples. The Yamaha FMC1 Format Converter can also
be used to convert the SPX1000’s digital output to
virtually all popular digital formats, allowing direct
connection to standard digital recorders, etc. Please note
that the operation of the DIGITAL IN and OUT jacks
depends on the selected DIGITAL I/O mode. Refer to
“DIGITAL I/O MODES” on page 7 for details.
BYPASS Footswitch Jack
An optional Yamaha FC5 footswitch or equivalent
connected to this jack can be used for foot control of the
BYPASS function.

INC/DEC Footswitch Jack
An optional Yamaha FC5 footswitch or equivalent
connected to this jack can be used to recall a range of
programs specified by the UTILITY mode F.SW
MEMORY RECALL RANGE function.

TRIGGER 1 SW Footswitch Jack
The TRIGGER 1 SW footswitch jack accepts a Yamaha
FC5 or equivalent footswitch for foot-controlled
triggering of any SPX1000 effect program that has trigger
parameters. The reverb programs, for example, include a
triggerable gate, and the freeze programs allow triggering
of recording and playback. A footswitch connected to the
TRIGGER 1 SW jack has the same function as the front-
panel TRIGGER key (THE FRONT PANEL, 14).
TRIGGER 2 ANALOG Jack & MIC/LINE Switch
The triggerable SPX1000 effect programs (gate programs,
freeze programs, etc.) can be triggered by the front-panel
TRIGGER key, a footswitch connected to the TRIGGER
1 SW jack, or an input signal appearing at the INPUT L
and R or DIGITAL IN connectors. The TRIGGER 2
ANALOG jack offers a fourth triggering method:
triggering can be accomplished by applying an analog
signal of sufficient amplitude to this jack. The MIC/LINE
switch changes the sensitivity of the TRIGGER 2
ANALOG input to accept microphone or line-level
signals.
MIDI IN and THRU/OUT Terminals
MIDI signals from external MIDI devices can be fed to
the MIDI IN terminal to remotely select effects, set the
pitch shift of the pitch change effects and set the pitch of
freeze-program playback. When the switch controlling
the remaining MIDI terminal is set to THRU, the terminal
simply re-transmits data received at the MIDI IN terminal
allowing daisy-chaining of MIDI devices. When set to
OUT, the internal RAM memory contents may be
dumped to a MIDI data recorder for large-volume, long-
term storage. Program data thus stored can be reloaded
later via the MIDI IN terminal (see BULK OUT 1 &
BULK OUT 2 on page 33).
