Effects
The DSPs of the SD5 are capable of producing Reverb, Chorus, Delay and
Modulation effects that can be applied to the Upper and Lower parts, to the
accompaniment tracks and to external audio signals. The SD5 employs up to three
DSPs to generate the global Reverb; and for the Upper parts, an additional three
groups of Chorus, Delay and Distorsor effects that can work both in parallel and in
series in Programs and in parallel for the automatic accompaniment tracks and
the Lower parts.
The assignment of the Delay, Chorus and Distorsion effects is done in the
AArrrraannggee
VViieeww
menu for the automatic accompaniment tracks and the Lower parts.
For the Right section, the effects are assigned with the
LLeeaadd EEffffeeccttss
menu, which
is opened using the related key on the panel or using the Programs.
The levels, the type of effect and all the other parameters related to the DSP are
managed from the
EEFFFFEECCTT
menu, which is opened by pressing function key F2 from
the main page of the display.
The Effects menu is composed of the following:
F1 Global Reverb: This is the Reverb assigned to the whole keyboard and to the whole tone generator, despite the single parts. The value
(modified using
DDAATTAA CCUURRSSOORR
push buttons) establishes the amount of the Reverb applied.
F2 Right Reverb: This is used to specify the quantity of Reverb to be applied separately to the Right part of the keyboard that is dedicated
to the lead. The value is modified using the
DDAATTAA CCUURRSSOORR
buttons.
F3 Reverb Type: This is used to choose the Reverb algorithm among Room, Studio, Club, Hall, Theatre, Stage, Arena. To choose the type of
algorithm use the
CCUURRSSOORR
push buttons.
F6 Eff. Lock:: This allows the user to lock the effect type (Reverb, Chorus, Delay o Distorsor) currently enabled so as to avoid changes
when e.g, you change from one style to another.
F7 Chorus: This is used to select the type of algorithm between Chorus 1, Chorus 2, Chorus 3, Chorus 4, Chorus 5, Flanger, Short Delay,
Feedback and four User Chorus using push buttons
DDAATTAA CCUURRSSOORR
Once the algorithm has been selected, it is edited using
FF1100 EEddiitt
.
F8 Delay: This is used to select between eight types of pre-set Delays and four User Delays using the
DDAATTAA CCUURRSSOORR
push buttons. Once
the algorithm has been selected, it is edited using
FF1100 EEddiitt
.
F9 Distorsion: This is used to select between eight types of distorsion and four User Distorsion using the
DDAATTAA CCUURRSSOORR
push buttons . Once
the algorithm has been selected, it is edited using
FF1100 EEddiitt
.
F10 Edit: This is used to access the menu dedicated to programming the most important parameters of an algorithm.
EFFECT EDIT
The SD5 does not only choose the algorithm to be assigned to the DSPs but it also
allows its substantial modification and saving in dedicated memories. To modify
an algorithm - first of all, it must be selected among Chorus, Delay and Distorsion,
simply by pressing the function push button and choosing the algorithm. Without
doing anything else at this stage press
FF1100 EEddiitt
to access the menu.
No matter what algorithm is to be modified, the Edit page shows some fixed para-
meters as discussed:
F4 Default: This resets the parameters of the algorithm at their original
values.
F5 Escape: This returns to the Effects menu.
F8 Source: This indicates the current algorithm selected to be modified, however by pressing function push button
FF88
several times, a
different algorithm can be selected.
F9 Destination:
This specifies the destination memory for the algorithm modified. It is selected by pressing the function push button
FF99
repea-
tedly.
