Instant recognition of effect types

color (by default) for each type of effect. You can tell the
general effect type at a glance; e.g., cyan (light blue) for
reverb and early reflection, white for delay, magenta for
modulation, and green for effects of the Classic bank.

New reverb algorithms
New reverbs feature the newly-developed REV-X algo-
rithm, delivering rich, high-density reverberation with
smooth decay, spaciousness, and depth that brings out
the best in the original signal.

Classic SPX effects revived with new algorithms
Favorite effects such as gate reverb, freeze, and flanger
have been carried over from previous SPX-series mod-
els, with newly developed algorithms.

The SPX2000 provides full stereo operation; 2 IN/2
OUT.

Some effects can be synchronized to a specified note
length and tempo. The tempo can be set using the front
panel [TAP] button, from a foot switch such as the FC5,
or via MIDI messages.
★
A full range of MIDI functionality
You can use MIDI to switch effects, modify parameter
values, or transmit/receive bulk data.Effects and tempo
synchronization can also be controlled via MIDI.
