Basic parameters and Fine parameters
Each of the SPX2000s effects consists of two types of parameter: Basic parameters and Fine parameters.

Effect

Basic parameter 1 Basic parameter 2 Basic parameter 3 Fine parameter 1 Fine parameter 2 Fine parameter 3 Fine parameter m Basic parameter n
2 Select an effect (page 12)
Use the []/[] buttons (C) to select the effect you want to edit. The number of the currently selected effect will blink in the effect number indicator (0).
Since some effects have a rather large number of parameters, the parameters that you will probably need to edit most often are grouped as Basic parameters, and supplementary parameters are grouped as Fine parameters. The number and type of Basic parameters and Fine parameters will differ for each effect.

3 Recall the effect

Press the [RECALL] button (D) to recall the effect. The effect number indicator (0) will change from blinking to steadily lit.
To edit a parameter, you must rst select it. The editable parameters will differ for each effect. For details, refer to the explanation of each parameter in the Effects section (page 25 and following).
Use the [ INC]/[ DEC] button (G) to edit the value of the parameter. The parameter value shown in the display (9) will change, and the [COMPARE] LED (I) will light. The [COMPARE] LED (I) indicates that the currentlyrecalled effect has been edited since it was recalled.

SYNC:.. This is the on/off switch for tempo synchronization. NOTE and TEMPO:.. These are the basic parameters for tempo synchronization. DELAY and FREQ.:. DELAY is the delay time, and FREQ. is the frequency of the modulation signal. These directly affect the way in which the effect sound will change. DELAY is relevant only for delay-type effects, and FREQ. is relevant only for modulation-type effects. How the parameters are related Tempo synchronization uses TEMPO and NOTE to calculate a value that will be the basis for the tempo, and continues making adjustments so that this tempo basis stays essentially the same as the DELAY (or FREQ.). This means that when TEMPO, NOTE, and DELAY (or FREQ.) are synchronized, and you change any of these values, the other parameters will be re-set in order to maintain the correct relationship. The parameters that are re-set and the calculation method(*a) used are as follows.

Check the edited effect

Press the [COMPARE] button (I) to compare the original effect with the edited version. Each time you press this button, the [COMPARE] LED will alternate between lit and blinking. The LED will light if the edited effect is selected, and will blink if the unedited effect is selected.

Delay + Reverb (PRESET bank) Delay Reverb (PRESET bank)
Delay + Reverb separately applies delay and reverb to the original sound, and then mixes the results. Delay Reverb applies delay to the original sound, and then applies reverb. Each aspect of the sound is controlled by the following effect parameters. Delay: DELAY L, DELAY R, FB.DLY, FB.GAIN, DELAY HI Reverb: REV TIME, REV HI, INI.DLY, DIFF., DENSITY Balance between delay and reverb: DLY/REV, DLY.BAL Filter/equalizer: HPF, LPF Tempo synchronization: SYNC, NOTE L, NOTE R, NOTE FB, TEMPO Output level: OUT LVL, MIX BAL.

DELAY HI

Reverb time. This is expressed as the time over which reverberation at 1 kHz will decay by 60 dB. Reverb time for the high-frequency range, expressed as a proportion of REV TIME. If this value is 0.1 the time will be 1/10th the REV TIME; if it is 1.0 the time will be the same as the REV TIME. You can adjust these values to simulate the absorptiveness of the walls and ceiling. REV HI is the decay of the high-frequency range. Delay of the early reections relative to the original sound. This value also affects the delay until reverberation is heard. Diffusion of the sound to left and right. Increasing this value will make the reverberation more spaciousness. Density of the reverberation. Increasing this value will make the reverberation smoother. You can create unique effects by lowering this value. Delay relative to the original sound. DELAY L is the L channel delay, and DELAY R is the R channel delay. Delay added when the signal is fed back. The delay from the original sound to the rst delay is set by the DELAY L and DELAY R values, but the delay of subsequent repeats will be each DELAY + FB.DLY. Amount of feedback for the delay sound. This indicates the ratio by which the level is reduced for each repetition of the effect. For example with a setting of +50, the level of the delay will decay to 50% 25% 12.5% as it is repeated. Negative () values invert the phase of the feedback. Amount of feedback for the high-frequency portion of the delay. This is specied as a proportion of FB.GAIN. If this value is 0.1, the feedback amount will be 1/10th of FB.GAIN; if this value is 1.0, the feedback amount will be the same as FB.GAIN.

DLY/REV DLY.BAL

Balance between the original sound and effect sound. At a setting of 0% only the original sound will be output; at a setting of 100% only the effect sound will be output. Output level after the original sound and effect sound have been mixed. Decrease this value if you want to lower the output. At a setting of 0% there will be no output. A lter that cuts the low-frequency portion of the effect. Frequency components lower than the frequency specied here will be cut. With a setting of Thru this lter will do nothing. This lter does not affect the original sound. A lter that cuts the high-frequency portion of the effect. Frequency components above the frequency specied here will be cut. With a setting of Thru this lter will do nothing. This lter does not affect the original sound. (Delay + Reverb only) Balance between the delay and reverb. A setting of 0% outputs only the delay; a setting of 100% outputs only the reverb. (Delay Reverb only) Amount of reverb. Raising this value will strengthen the reverb effect. At a setting of 0% only delay will be heard. Switches tempo synchronization on/off. If this is ON, the delays will synchronize to the tempo synchronization source specied by TEMPO SOURCE (page 23). Each NOTE value will be set to the synchronized tempo value. These parameters are used for tempo synchronization. If SYNC is ON, each DELAY value will be set according to the corresponding NOTE value and TEMPO. If SYNC is OFF, this value is ignored. This parameter is used for tempo synchronization. If SYNC is ON, the various DELAY values will be set according to this value and the corresponding NOTE values. If SYNC is OFF, this value is ignored.

You can use MIDI to remotely control the SPX2000. This chapter explains how to make preparations for using MIDI, what you can do using MIDI, and the MIDI data format.
Preparations for using MIDI
In order to use the SPX2000s MIDI functionality, you must make the following preparations.
What you can do using MIDI
On the SPX2000 you can use MIDI to do the following six things. Recall effects You can remotely select/recall effects from a MIDI device connected to the [MIDI IN] connector (T) or [TO HOST USB] connector (U). In order to do this, you must rst create a MIDI program change table on the SPX2000. For details, refer to Editing the MIDI program change table (page 22).

MIDI messages used:

1 Connect your MIDI device
Connect your device using either of the following connectors. [MIDI IN] connector (T) and [MIDI OUT/THRU] connector (S) [TO HOST USB] connector (U)
2 If you are using the [MIDI OUT/THRU] connector, set it to MIDI OUT (page 21)
Control change (Bank select) + Program change Control parameters You can control the SPX2000s effect parameters from a MIDI device connected to the [MIDI IN] connector (T) or [TO HOST USB] connector (U). The control method and content will depend on the MIDI messages you use.
3 Select the MIDI port that you want to use
Use the Utility setting MIDI PORT GENERAL to make this selection (page 21).
4 Select the MIDI channel that you want to use
