[. . . ] YAMAHA AUTHORIZED PRODUCT MANUAL Professional Multi-effect Processor YAMAHA Professional Multi-effect Processor Operation Manual INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your acquisition of a Yamaha SPX1000 Professional Multi-effect Processor. The SPX1000 is a highly sophisticated digital reverberation and effects system which offers 40 preset effect programs including accurate simulations of natural reverberation and early-reflections, delay and echo effects, gated effects, modulation effects, a versatile compressor, a low-level expander, a harmonic exciter, multiple effects which function as several SPX000 units in one, independent 2-channel effects, freeze (sampling) programs and others. 1 kHz, it delivers full, flat frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz for exceptionally clean, "transparent" effect sound, and direct digital interfacing capability makes it compatible with the most up-todate sound systems. The preset effect programs can be edited, re-titled, and stored in any of 59 RAM user memory locations. [. . . ] LEVEL parameter should be set to the highest value (100%) so that only signals applied to the TRIGGER 2 ANALOG jack will activate the gate. MIDI Trigger (MIDI TRG. ): OFF, ON When this parameter is turned ON, a KEY ON EVENT message from an external MIDI keyboard can be used to trigger the gate. A KEY ON EVENT message is transmitted whenever a note on a MIDI keyboard is played. NOTE: This effect can also be triggered by the front-panel TRIGGER key or a footswitch plugged into the rear-panel TRIGGER 1 SW jack. Determines the level of the input signal required to trigger "opening" of the gate. At 100% only very high-level input signals will trigger the gate, while at 0% even the tiniest input signal will trigger the gate. Trigger Delay (TRG. DLY): -100 ­ +100 milliseconds Produces a delay between the time at which the gate is triggered and that at which it actually opens. If a minus value is programmed, the input signal is delayed so that, effectively, the gate opens before the signal appears. Trigger Mask (TRG. MSK): 3 ­ 24000 milliseconds This parameter makes it impossible to re-trigger the gate function until the programmed time has elapsed. Attack Time (ATTACK): 3 ­ 24000 milliseconds PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM KEY High-Pass Filter Frequency (HPF FRQ): THRU, 32 Hz ­ 1. 0 kHz Low-Pass Filter Frequency (LPF FRQ): 1 ­ 16 kHz, THRU Determines how long it takes for the gate to open fully from the time it begins to open. Decay Time (DECAY): 3 ­ 24000 milliseconds Determines the length of time it takes for the gate envelope to fall to DECAY LEVEL after it is fully open. Decay Level (DECAY LVL): 0 ­ 100% PITCH CHANGE TYPE PROGRAMS 20. STEREO PITCH 19 Determines the level at which the gate remains open for the HOLD TIME. The lower the value, the lower the HOLD gate level. PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY 20. PITCH CHANGE 1 PITCH CHANGE 1 makes it possible to produce two independently pitch-shifted output notes in addition to the direct signal, so you can create three-part harmonies with a single input note. Both pitch-shifted notes appear at the center of the stereo sound field. 1st Pitch Shift (1 PITCH): -24 ­ +24 2nd Pitch Shift (2 PITCH): -24 ­ +24 Left Pitch Shift (L PITCH): -24 ­ +24 Right Pitch Shift (R PITCH): -24 ­ +24 Set the pitch of the left or right channel pitch-shifted note between two octaves below (-24) and two octaves above (+24) the input note. Left Fine Tuning (L FINE): -100 ­ +100 Right Fine Tuning (R FINE): -100 ­ +100 Permit fine tuning of the left or right channel pitch-shifted note in l-cent steps. Left Delay Time (L DLY): 0. 1 ­ 2300 milliseconds Right Delay Time (R DLY): 0. 1 ­ 2300 milliseconds Set the pitch of the first or second pitch-shifted note between two octaves below (-24) and two octaves above (+24) the input note. 1st Fine Tuning (1 FINE): -100 ­ +100 2nd Fine Tuning (2 FINE): -100 ­ +100 Determine the time delay between input of the original note and output of the left or right channel pitch-shifted note. Left Feedback Gain (L. F. B. ): -99 ­ +99 Right Feedback Gain (R. F. B. ): -99 ­ +99 Permit fine tuning of the first or second pitch-shifted note in l-cent steps. 1st Delay Time (1 DLY): 0. 1 ­ 2300 milliseconds 2nd Delay Time (2 DLY): 0. 1 ­ 2300 milliseconds Determines the time delay between input of the original note and output of the first or second pitch-shifted note. 1st Feedback Gain (1 F. B. ): -99 ­ +99 2nd Feedback Gain (2 F. B. ): -99 ­ +99 When this parameter is set to 0, only a single pitch-shifted sound is produced after the DELAY time has elapsed. As the value of this parameter is increased, however, more and more delayed repeats are produced, each pitch-shifted up or down from the previous repeat according to the setting of the PITCH parameter. When this parameter is set to 0, only a single pitch-shifted sound is produced after the DELAY time has elapsed. As the value of this parameter is increased, however, more and more delayed repeats are produced, each pitch-shifted up or down from the previous repeat according to the setting of the PITCH parameter. 1st Level (1 LEVEL): 0 ­ 100% 2nd Level (2 LEVEL): 0 ­ 100% 22. PITCH CHANGE 3 PITCH CHANGE 3 offers the "thickest" and most complex sound by allowing the creation of three pitch-shifted notes in addition to the direct sound. 1st Pitch Shift (1 PITCH): -24 ­ +24 2nd Pitch Shift (2 PITCH): -24 ­ +24 3rd Pitch Shift (3 PITCH): -24 ­ +24 These parameters determine the levels of the first and second pitch-shifted notes. Set the pitch of the first, second or third pitch-shifted note between two octaves below (-24) and two octaves above (+24) the input note. 1st Fine Tuning (1 FINE): -100 ­ +100 2nd Fine Tuning (2 FINE): -100 ­ +100 3rd Fine Tuning (3 FINE): -100 ­ +100 21. PITCH CHANGE 2 Like the PITCH CHANGE 1 program, PITCH CHANGE 2 produces 2 pitch-shifted notes in addition to the original input note. In this program, however, the two pitch-shifted notes are independently fed to the left and right channel outputs (the direct sound is positioned at the center of the stereo sound field) for a true stereo harmony effect. 20 Permit fine tuning of the first, second or third pitch-shifted note in l-cent steps. 1st Delay Time (1 DLY): 0. 1 ­ 4600 milliseconds 2nd Delay Time (2 DLY): 0. 1 ­ 4600 milliseconds 3rd Delay Time (3 DLY): 0. 1 ­ 4600 milliseconds Determines the time delay between input of the original note and output of the first, second or third pitch-shifted note. 1st Level (I LEVEL): 0 ­ 100% 2nd Level (2 LEVEL): 0 ­ 100% 3rd Level (3 LEVEL): 0 ­ 100% PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM KEY Base Key (BASE KEY): OFF, C1 ­ C6 These parameters determine the levels of the first, second and third pitch-shifted notes. 39. STEREO PITCH The STEREO PITCH program produces a smooth pitch shift effect rather than an abrupt shift from note to note. The parameters affect both the left and right channels simultaneously. This parameter sets the "BASE KEY" for an external MIDI synthesizer used to control the PITCH parameter (the MIDI OUT terminal of the synthesizer must be connected to the SPX1000 MIDI IN terminal, and the SPX1000 must be set to receive on the MIDI channel on which the synthesizer is transmitting). If, for example, the BASE KEY parameter is set to C4, pressing the C3 key on the synthesizer (C3 is one octave lower than C4) will set the pitch change value to -12. Pressing D4 on the keyboard would produce a pitch increase of one whole-tone (+2). When two keys are pressed, the highest note determines the pitch of the 1 PITCH or L PITCH sound, and the lower note determines the pitch of the 2 PITCH or R PITCH sound. With the STEREO PITCH program the last note pressed takes priority.
