EFFECT 1/2
FX1/FX2
The MP7 employs two completely independent 18-bit stereo effect units - FX1 and FX2. The setting of the mono input channels’ individual FX-controls determines the audio signal that is fed to these two units. Identically configured, each unit provides 99 stereo program presets, which can be selected through the use of the UP/DOWN buttons. The 99 preset programs are sorted by algorithm and effect type into different groups, as indicated on a printed label. The programs within each preset group are sorted in ascending order where higher numbers provide the same FX type with increased intensity. The presets 1 - 20 offer high quality reverberation effects that are equally suited for being used during live performances, in the recording studio or in your home recording environment. The program numbers 21 - 40 provide mixed effect types of echo/reverb and chorus/reverb while the numbers 41 - 60 offer different delay effects. The last group from 61 - 99 provides different flanger, chorus, and doubling presets as well as special delay and reverb programs. During the initializa- tion of the FX-units, when turning the MP7’s power on, the preset 05 (Large Hall 3 Bright) is selected for the FX1 while the FX2 unit is set to preset 55 (Delay Mono 250ms). These two effect programs are equally suitable for live performances and recording applications, plus that they are especially useful complementing each other when using both FX-units at the same time. For a more detailed description and for selecting or testing effect presets, please, also refer to the supplementary information form “EFFECT PRESETS”, which lists all preset names together with the correspon- ding program profiles, their individual characteristics, and a description of how and in which combination they are best used. Take your time to test all presets and select the ones that are best suited for your specific needs. Program number “0" is a Slap Back Echo effect, which is mainly meant for service and testing purposes. That is the reason why it is not included in the effects listing on the front panel.

23. DISPLAY
The display always indicates the actually selected program number for the corre- sponding FX-unit.
24. UP/DOWN
The UP/DOWN-keys let you step through the effect programs one by one in increasing or declining order. Keeping either one button pressed for a longer period of time allows scrolling the effect program numbers with increased tempo.
25. FX ON
Engaging this switch turns the power of the corresponding internal FX-unit on and the green LED lights. For intelligibility reasons switching the FX-units off during announcements is recommended.
Pushing down the TALK-button while making an announcement from the MIC1-input channel automatically reduces the audio signal’s effects portion.
