1. System Overview 1. System Overview The A5000/A4000 is capable of recording, processing, and playing back musical instrument sounds, sound effects, segments of complete tunes, or just about any type of sound. The basic A5000/A4000 system configuration is described below. Internal Structure The A5000/A4000 consists of a tone generator, effect stage, total EQ stage, controllers, sequencer, and I/O interface.

This is the "heart" of the A5000/A4000 system. Effect Stage (page 63) The effect section adds ambience effects such as reverb or more dramatic effects to the output signal from the tone generator section. Effects can also be added to input signals as they are recorded. A comprehensive range of 96 effects is provided in 6 individual effect blocks (3 in the A4000). 58 Chapter 3 The A5000/A4000 System & Features • A5000/A4000 q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q
