DUAL STEREO MULTIEFFECTS PROCESSOR
The built-in effects processor has been designed for maximum ease
of use. It sports a wide range of high quality programs, all carefully
tailored to today’s music production requirements.
At startup, programs
45 and 55 are auto-loaded: these ECHO+REV.
and VOICE REV. effects provide good results in the most different
music styles, so you will maybe want to use them as general
purpose effects.
To select the programs, you simply use the
▲
and
▼
pushbuttons
to scroll through programs up and down, respectively.
EFFECTS SETUP
1 – Switch Effect 1 and Effect 2 to operation
by pushing their ON buttons.
A green LED lights up on each processor to
signal its status.
2 – Bring the effects faders E1/E2 and the L/R
master faders near to the ' 0 ' position on their
scale (at working level).
3 – Set the channel volume and the effects
sends levels with 1 and 2 controls on the
input channels you wish to add effects to.
4 – Carefully inspect the input levels on
the LED bargraphs of both processors:
• the red LEDs should blink occasionally
• if the red LEDs are constantly lit, you
could suffer severe distortion on the
effect signal. This isn’t due to the processor
itself, rather it is common on digital
processors of any price because of the
digital technology itself. In case, reduce
the levels of the 1 and 2 controls on the
input channels until the red LEDs of LED
bargraph light up only on loudest peaks.
5 – You can alter the effect timbre with the
TONE control on the effects processor:
turn it clockwise to 'brighten' the effects,
or counter-clockwise to 'darken' it.
6 – Route the effects to the main outputs
with the BAL control, and/or to the stage
monitors with the A and B controls, then set
their volume faders at the desired levels.
7 – Select the program you wish to use on
both processor with the
▼
and
▲
buttons.
Use the chart on the next column as a
reference to recognize the programs.
■
We suggest you start from the following program numbers so
you can listen to the most representative effects of each available
effect ranges.
05 (STEREO GEN), 20 (HALO), 35 (ECHO), 47 (ECHO + REVERB),
57 (VOICE REVERB), 66 (PERCUSSION REVERB), 75 (HALO + REVERB),
86 (PING PONG), 89 (BOUNCE), 93 (EARLY REFLECTIONS),
A9 (STEREO FLANGER), B3 (STEREO CHORUS), C5 (DETUNE),
D5 (DUAL PITCH), D9 (SINGLE PITCH), E8 (PITCH + REVERB),
F2 (REVERSE REVERB).
Feel free to experiment with any program until you get the sounds
that most satisfies your taste.

STEREO DIGITAL
EFFECTS PROCESSOR
Programs and effects description
00
→
09 STEREO GEN .
Adds a short delay to the signal to create a pseudo-stereo effect out of
mono sources.
10
→
29 HALO
It’s a digital recreation of the effect built in the Montarbo reverb units
of the sixties, a vintage classic that never went out of fashion.
30
→
39 ECHO
Classic multiplex effect. Delay time increases with program number.
40 → 49 ECHO + REVERB
Delay and reverb blended together make for the impressive effect you
can listen on most contemporary productions.
50
→
59 VOICE REVERB
Reverbs specially tailored to enhance vocals’ character.
60
→
69 PERCUSSION REVERB
Ambience effects that enrich both acoustic and electronic percussions.
70
→
79 HALO + REVERB
Halo and reverb effects blended together.
80
→
88 PING PONG
Basically an auto-panned delay, popular on many rock hits, the samples
are being routed alternatively to full left and full right master.
89 BOUNCE
Repeats start widely spaced to become closer and closer.
90
→
99 EARLY REFLECTIONS
Generates the initial part of the reverb without the decaying 'tail' of
the effect. It makes for thicker and more aggressive sound without
increasing its decay time. Usually it is used to colour vocals or horns
solos in contemporary productions.
A0
→
A9 STEREO FLANGER
It may be considered as a very intense chorus, with two voices crossing
their stereo image and with feedback acting as 'comb filter'.
The frequencies corresponding to the filter's notches and peaks change
continuously, producing thus the typical flanging sound.
B0
→
B9 STEREO CHORUS
It produces a warm and rich sound. Three voices are derived from the
input signal and are sent to the Left and Right channels and to the center.
The result is that even the thinner voice will sound like an ensemble.
It is ideal to enliven a guitar accompainment and to 'fatten' a voice.
C0
→
C9 DETUNE
Slightly alters the tuning of the source to simulate a 'doubling' effect
with increased tuning alterations.
D0
→
D5 DUAL PITCH
A wonderful 'harmonizer' with two voices trasposing the input signal
pitch in real-time. Your voice will be automatically accompanied by a
chorus.
D6
→
D9 SINGLE PITCH
'Harmonizer' with one voice trasposing the input signal pitch in real-
time.
E0
→
E9 PITCH REVERB
It's the combination of the two effects which most of all let your voice
sound warmer and thicker. Beside your voice, the Pitch Change
provides a voice in the center of the stereo image. To the resulting
'harmonizer' effect a warm Plate type Reverb effect, particularly suited
for voice, is added in cascade.
F0
→
F9 REVERSE REVERB
Unmistakably a 'must' of many 80's records, starts at low level, builds
up and quit abruptly. Usually served with percussion.
