Basic Structure of the DTXTREME III

■REVERB

Also called “reverberation,” this refers to the sound energy remaining in a room or closed space after the original sound stops. Similar to yet different from echo, reverb is the indirect, diffuse sound of reflections from the walls and ceiling that accompany the direct sound. The characteristics of this indirect sound depends on the size of the room or space and the materials and furnishings in the room. Reverb Effect types use digital signal processing to simulate these characteristics.

■CHORUS

Depending on the particular chorus type and parameters, this can make a voice sound “larger,” as if several identical instruments were playing in unison, or it can give a voice greater warmth and depth.

Effect Type	VAR	INS	CHO	Description
				This chorus effect produces a
G CHORUS	✔	✔	✔	richer and more complex mod-
				ulation than conventional cho-
				rus.
2 MODULA-				This chorus effect consists of
	✔	✔	✔	pitch modulation and ampli-
TOR
				tude modulation.
				This effect uses a 3-phase
SPX CHORUS	✔	✔	✔	LFO to add modulation and
				spaciousness to the sound.
SYMPHONIC	✔	✔	✔	A multi-stage version of SPX
				CHORUS modulation.
ENSEMBLE				Chorus effect without modula-
	✔	✔	✔	tion, created by adding a
DETUNE
				slightly pitch-shifted sound.

■TREMOLO & ROTARY

The tremolo effect cyclically modulates the volume. The Rotary Speaker effect simulates the characteristic vibrato effect of a rotary speaker.

Effect Type	VAR	INS	Description
AUTO PAN	✔	✔	Cyclically moves the sound left/right
			and front/back.
TREMOLO	✔	✔	Cyclically modulates the volume.
ROTARY	✔	✔	Simulation of a rotary speaker.

■DELAY

An effect (or device) that delays an audio signal for ambient or rhythmic effects.

					sounds: L and R.
