Effects

The D3200 provides up to eight insert effects that you can in- sert into mixer channels, up to two master effects that can process the sends from each channel, and one final effect to process the master bus.

Effect type and size

There are two types of effect program: stereo and mono. You can use either type of program as an insert effect, but mono programs cannot be used as master effects or as the fi- nal effect.

Insert effect 8 cannot use a stereo effect program.

As an example, the type of effect programs that can be used to provide eight simultaneous insert effects are called “size- 1” programs. Relative to this, other more complex effect pro- grams are categorized as “size-2” or “size-4” programs.

The size of each effect program is shown by an icon “” dis- played at the right of the effect name.

How DSP power is allocated to the effects

On the D3200, the term “DSP power” refers to the total processing capability that can be used to process effect pro- grams.

There is enough DSP power to process “16 sizes-worth” of ef- fect programs.

A total of eleven effects can be used by insert, master, and fi- nal effects, but since the sum of the all the effect sizes is lim- ited to no more than 16, the number of effects that can be used simultaneously will change, depending on the combi- nation of effect sizes.

A specific amount of DSP power is allocated to the insert, master, and final effects, and the breakdown for each variety of effect is shown in the following table.

to the master bus

The effect programs are common to all of the above types of effect. There are 128 preset effect programs.

Each effect program is constructed from one of 52 different effect algorithms.

There are 128 user effect programs in which you can store your own edited settings, and 32 song effect programs for each song, in which you can store effect settings for that spe- cific song.

Each song can store its own 32 song effect programs.

You cannot rewrite the preset effect programs. However, a preset effect can be recalled, edited and stored to a user program.

If you use a size-8 effect for insert effect 1, insert effects 2–8 will be unavailable.

If you use a size-4 effect for master effect 1, master effect 2 will be unavailable.

When assigning effects, pay attention to the DSP power indi- cator in the “EFFRouting” tab page to see how much DSP power is available.

For details, refer to “Effects that can be used simultaneously” (p.114) in the reference section.
