STEREO PHASING The SPX90 can produce a wide range of Phasing effects from a barely perceptible shift to a rapid pulsation. Phasing lends an animated quality to musical instrument and vocal recordings: )dB) DIRECT SIGNAL L(R) RILI MOD. DELAY TIME MOD. DEPTH (TIME) This effect has the same parameters as STEREO FLANGE, except that the DELAY TIME range is from 0.1 to 8.0 msec and that it omits F.B. Gain. TREMOLO The TREMOLO effect operates in the same way as the CHORUS effect, except that modulation is deeper and the delay variation is greater. Refer to STEREO FLANGE for the description of the parameters. SYMPHONIC The programmable parameters for this preset are identical to those for the Stereo Flange preset, omitting F.B. GAIN and MOD DELAY TIME. PITCH CHANGE This program is used to change the pitch of an input signal. Pitch can be changed in semitone increments over a plus/minus one-octave range. Fine adjustment of pitch in one-cent (1/100th of a semitone) increments/decrements is also possible. Pitch change programs B and C permit setting two different pitches. This makes it possible to produce harmonizer type effects (i.e. when you play a note, the SPX90 outputs two additional notes), or, if only a slight pitch difference is used, chorus-type effects are created. Pitch change programs A and D permit the application of feedback so that an echo that changes in pitch with each repeat can be produced. Programs A and D further permit pitch control via the MIDI IN connector. Any MIDI synthesizer, such as the Yamaha DX7, can be used to alter the pitch setting of the program by simply playing the appropriate note on the synthesizer keyboard.

can
produce
a

of

This

has

as
STEREO

except
that
the
DELAY

range
is
from
0.1
to
8.0
msec
and
that
it
omits

TREMOLO
The
TREMOLO
effect
operates
in
the
same
way
as
the
CHORUS
effect,
except
that
modulation
is
deeper
and
the
delay

is
greater.
Refer

for

of
the

SYMPHONIC
The

are

for
the

PITCH
CHANGE
This
program
is
used
to
change
the
pitch
of
an
input
signal.
Pitch
can
be
changed
in
semitone
increments
over
a
plus/minus
one
-octave
range.
Fine
adjustment
of
pitch
in
one
-cent
(1/100th
of
a
semitone)
increments/decrements
is
also
possible.
Pitch
change
programs
B
and
C
permit
setting
two
different
pitches.
This
makes
it
possible
to
produce
harmonizer
type
effects
(i.e.
when
you
play
a
note,
the
SPX90
outputs
two
additional
notes),
or,
if
only
a
slight
pitch
differ-
ence
is
used,
chorus
-type
effects
are
created.
Pitch
change
programs
A
and
D
permit
the
application
of
feedback
so
that
an
echo
that
changes
in
pitch
with
each
repeat
can
be
produced.
Programs
A
and
D
further
permit
pitch
control
via
the
MIDI
IN
connector.
Any
MIDI
synthesizer,
such
as
the
Yamaha
DX7,
can
be
used
to
alter
the
pitch
setting
of
the
program
by
simply
playing
the
appropriate
note
on
the
synthesizer
key-
board.
