Congratulations on your acquisition of a
Yamaha SPX990 Professional Multi
Effect Processor The
SPX990 offers 80
preset effect programs including accurate simulations of
natural reverberation and early reflections, delay and echo
effects, modulation effects, pitch change effects, complex
effects, freeze (sampling) programs which can do loop
playback and much more. Epoch-making new effects like the
main effect programs include multi-tap delay for accurate
definition of time and pan of several delays, round pan and
intelligent pitch which can add harmony through internal
recording on specific keys and scales. The temp, mono echo,
temp, stereo echo, and temp, quad echo effects also add new
attractive features to the
SPX990 With a sampling frequency
of 44.1kHz, it delivers a full, flat frequency response from
20Hz to 20kHz for exceptionally clean, "transparent" effect
sounds and direct digital interfacing capabilities making it
compatible with the most up-to-date sound systems. The
preset effect programs can be edited, re-titled and stored
in any of the 100 RAM memory locations. Convenient external
data storage is provided by a memory card slot that accepts
optional RAM cards for storage effect programs. The 3-band
parametric EQ, compressor, Aural Exciter®, or distortion can
be used in the pre-effect program for precise tonal
tailoring. The 3-band parametric EQ, compressor, or Aural
Exciter® can also be used in the post-effect program. The
SPX990 is also MIDI compatible, with a MIDI IN terminal that
allows MIDI selection of effect programs and a switchable
MIDI THRUIOUT terminal. When switched to OUT, edited
programs stored in the internal RAM memory can be dumped to
a MIDI data
Recorder or other data storage devices. Programs
thus stored can be reloaded when necessary via the MIDI IN
terminal. As an extra touch of convenience, the SPX990>s
analog input and output terminals can be switched to match
-20dBm or +4dBm line levels, providing compatibility with a
broader range of sound equipment.
In order to fully take advantage of all the capability
offered by the
SPX990 Professional Multieffect Processor, we
urge you to read this operation manual thoroughly while
trying out the many features and effects provided by the
SPX990
