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. PROGRAM PITCH CHANGE FEEDBACK PITCH CHANGE A 1 TONE YES 2 TONES PITCH CHANGE B (CENTER) NO 2 TONES PITCH CHANGE C (1 EACH IN NO L & R CH.) PITCH CHANGE D 1 TONE YES MIDI PITCHCONTROL YES NO NO YES PITCH. Range: -12 - +12 Sets the degree of pitch change in semitone steps. +12 corresponds to an output pitch one octave higher than the input pitch, and -12 produces an output pitch one octave lower than the input pitch. 2. FINE. Range: -100 - +100 Adjusts pitch in one-cent increments or decrements. 3. DELAY Range: 0.1 -' 400 msec (A, B, D), 0.1 - 200 msec (C) Sets the delay between the direct (input signal) and the pitch-changed output signal. 4. F.B.GAIN. Range; 0 - 99% (A,D only) The higher this setting, the more echo repeats are produced (each changed in pitch from the previous repeat). 5. BASE KEY. Range: OFF, C1 - C6 (A, D only) This parameter sets the "BASE KEY" for an external MIDI synthesizer used to control the pitch variation 13
