Understanding Effect Algorithms and Program Structures

Effect algorithms

This unit contains three types of effect algorithms: 4ch, 2ch, and Mono-Pair.

Program structures

Each program can contain up two effects (FxA and FxB) depending on the type of effect selected.

If a 2ch or Mono-Pair effects are selected, the program contains two effects (one, or both can be turned off if necessary). When a program contains two effects, the way the unit routes the signals through the effects is controlled by the program structure. There are two possible program structures: parallel (/) and serial (m).

The 4ch effects (algorithms # 01~09) are designed to handle four channels simultaneously. These are also the highest quality effects. Consequently, programs containing these effects can not contain any other effects.

2ch effects (algorithms # 10~36) and Mono-Pair effects (algorithms # 37~45), on the other hand, are designed to handle two channels simultaneously and can be used in various combinations within a program. Each program can contain two 2ch effects, two Mono-pair effects, or one 2ch effect and one Mono-Pair effect.

The 2ch effects are “traditional” stereo effects. Mono-Pair effects are combinations of two parallel mono effects (one for each channel).

FxA and FxB are completely independent.

Serial (m) program

1 + 3					1, 3
	FxA	FxB	n
2 + 4	(10~45)	(10~45)	n	2, 4

The sound from FxA is fed into FxB for further processing before being output.

If a 4ch effect is selected, the program contains only one effect (the other effect is automatically disabled).
