INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your acquisition of a Yamaha SPX1000 Professional Multi-effect
Processor. The SPX1000 is a highly sophisticated digital reverberation and effects system
which offers 40 preset effect programs including accurate simulations of natural
reverberation and early-reflections, delay and echo effects, gated effects, modulation
effects, a versatile compressor, a low-level expander, a harmonic exciter, multiple effects
which function as several SPX000 units in one, independent 2-channel effects, freeze
(sampling) programs and others. With a sampling frequency of 44. 1 kHz, it delivers full,
flat frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz for exceptionally clean, “transparent” effect
sound, and direct digital interfacing capability makes it compatible with the most up-to-
date sound systems. The preset effect programs can be edited, re-titled, and stored in any
of 59 RAM user memory locations. Individual two-band parametric EQ and dynamic filter
parameters are provided for each effect program for precise tonal tailoring. In addition to
the basic effect and EQ parameters, the SPX1000 offers a list of “internal parameters”
which provide exacting control over the effect sound. The SPX1000 is also MIDI
compatible, with a MIDI IN terminal that allows MIDI selection of effect programs, and
a switchable MIDI THRU/OUT terminal. When switched to OUT, edited programs stored
in internal RAM can be dumped to a MIDI data recorder or other data storage device.
Programs thus stored can be reloaded when necessary via the MIDI IN terminal. As an
extra touch of convenience the SPX1000’s analog input and output terminals can be
switched to match -20 dBm or +4 dBm line levels + providing compatibility with a broader
range of sound equipment.
In order to fully take advantage of all the capability offered by the SPX1000 Professional
Multi-effect Processor, we urge you to read this operation manual thoroughly— and keep
it in a safe place for later reference.
FCC INFORMATION
While the following statements are provided to comply
with FCC Regulations in the United States, the cor-
rective measures listed below are applicable world-
wide.
This series of Yamaha professional music equipment
uses frequencies that appear in the radio frequency
range and if installed in the immediate proximity of
some types of audio or video devices (within three
meters), interference may occur. This series of Yamaha
combo equipment have been type tested and found
to comply with the specifications set for a class B
computing device in accordance with those specifi-
cations listed in subpart J of part 15 of the FCC rules.
These rules are designed to provide a reasonable
measure of protection against such interference.
However, this does not guarantee that interference
will not occur. If your professional music equipment
should be suspected of causing interference with other
electronic devices, verification can be made by turning
your combo equipment off and on. If the interference
continues when your equipment is off, the equipment
is not the source of interference. If your equipment
does appear to be the source of the interference, you
should try to correct the situation by using one or
more of the following measures:
Relocate either the equipment or the electronic device
that is being affected by the interference. Utilize power
outlets for the professional music equipment and the
device being affected that are on different branch
(circuit breaker or fuse) circuits, or install AC line
filters.
In the case of radio or TV interference, relocate the
antenna or, if the antenna lead-in is 300 ohm ribbon
lead, change the lead-in to co-axial type cable.
If these corrective measures do not produce satisfac-
tory results, please contact your authorized Yamaha
professional products dealer for suggestions and/or
corrective measures.
If you cannot locate a franchised Yamaha professional
products dealer in your general area contact the pro-
fessional products Service Department, Yamaha Music
Corporation, 6600 Orangethorpe Ave., Buena Park,
CA 90620, U.S.A.
If for any reason. you should need additional infor-
mation relating to radio or TV interference, you may
find a booklet prepared by the Federal Communi-
cations Commission helpful:

THE CONNECTOR PANEL
L(MONO) & R INPUT Connectors and Level
Switch
These are the analog stereo inputs to the SPX1000. The
input jacks are standard 1/4” monaural phono types. The
level switch selects either -20 dB or +4 dB nominal input
level. Please note that the operation of the INPUT
jacks
depends on the selected INPUT and DIGITAL I/O modes.
Refer to “INPUT MODES” and DIGITAL I/O MODES”
on page 6 for details.
When an input mode has not been selected and only one
input is being used, input is through L(MONO).
L & R OUTPUT Connectors and Level Switch
The stereo analog outputs from the SPX1000. The output
jacks are standard l/4” monaural phono types. The level
switch selects either -20 dB or +4 dB nominal output
level. Please note that the operation of the OUTPUT
jacks depends on the selected DIGITAL I/O mode. Refer
to “DIGITAL I/O MODES” on page 7 for details.
DIGITAL IN and OUT Connectors
These are the SPX1000’s stereo digital inputs and
outputs. All digital data is handled in Yamaha format.
The DIGITAL IN and OUT connectors are directly
compatible with other Yamaha equipment that provides
digital I/O capability –
the DMP7D Digital Mixing
Processor and DEQ7 Digital Equalizer are excellent
examples. The Yamaha FMC1 Format Converter can also
be used to convert the SPX1000’s digital output to
virtually all popular digital formats, allowing direct
connection to standard digital recorders, etc. Please note
that the operation of the DIGITAL IN and OUT jacks
depends on the selected DIGITAL I/O mode. Refer to
“DIGITAL I/O MODES” on page 7 for details.

MEMORY RECALL RANGE function.
• Details on page 34
TRIGGER 1 SW Footswitch Jack
The TRIGGER 1 SW footswitch jack accepts a Yamaha
FC5 or equivalent footswitch for foot-controlled
triggering of any SPX1000 effect program that has trigger
parameters. The reverb programs, for example, include a
triggerable gate, and the freeze programs allow triggering
of recording and playback. A footswitch connected to the
TRIGGER 1 SW jack has the same function as the front-
panel TRIGGER key (THE FRONT PANEL, 14).
TRIGGER 2 ANALOG Jack & MIC/LINE Switch
The triggerable SPX1000 effect programs (gate programs,
freeze programs, etc.) can be triggered by the front-panel
TRIGGER key, a footswitch connected to the TRIGGER
1 SW jack, or an input signal appearing at the INPUT L
and R or DIGITAL IN connectors. The TRIGGER 2
ANALOG jack offers a fourth triggering method:
triggering can be accomplished by applying an analog
signal of sufficient amplitude to this jack. The MIC/LINE
switch changes the sensitivity of the TRIGGER 2
ANALOG input to accept microphone or line-level
signals.
MIDI IN and THRU/OUT Terminals
MIDI signals from external MIDI devices can be fed to
the MIDI IN terminal to remotely select effects, set the
pitch shift of the pitch change effects and set the pitch of
freeze-program playback. When the switch controlling
the remaining MIDI terminal is set to THRU, the terminal
simply re-transmits data received at the MIDI IN terminal
allowing daisy-chaining of MIDI devices. When set to
OUT, the internal RAM memory contents may be
dumped to a MIDI data recorder for large-volume, long-
term storage. Program data thus stored can be reloaded
later via the MIDI IN terminal (see BULK OUT 1 &
BULK OUT 2 on page 33).

INPUT MODE AND DIGITAL I/O
CONFIGURATIONS
The SPX1000 offers a choice of input modes as well as analog
and digital input/output configurations, providing
extraordinary flexibility in “adapting” to various systems and
requirements.
INPUT MODES
The SPX1000 offers the following input modes, regardless of
the selected DIGITAL I/O mode:
STEREO NORMAL
6
This is the normal mode of operation in which left- and right-
channel signals received at the left- and right-channel inputs
are passed on to the SPX1000 processing circuitry on the
same channels as which they were received.
STEREO REVERSE
In this input mode the received left- and right-channel signals
are switched to the opposite channels. The left-channel input
is fed to the right-channel processing circuitry and the right-
channel input signal is fed to the left-channel processing
circuitry.
MONO LEFT
This and the MONO R mode described below are ideal for use
with monaural input signals. In the MONO L mode a
monaural signal received at the INPUT L jack is fed to both
the left- and right-channel processing circuitry.
MONO RIGHT
A monaural signal received at the INPUT R jack is fed to both
the left- and right-channel processing circuitry.
Selecting an Input Mode
Input modes are selected using the utility-mode INPUT
MODE function.
1. Press the UTILITY key twice to call the INPUT MODE
function.
2. Use the parameter select
and
keys to select the desired
input mode. The name of the selected input mode should
now be flashing on the LCD.
3. Press the STORE key to activate the selected input mode.
The name of the selected mode will stop flashing and the
corresponding INPUT MODE indicator LED will light (ST
NORMAL, ST REVERSE, MONO L or MONO R).
4. Press and hold the UTILITY key until its indicator goes
out and the utility mode is exited.
DIGITAL I/O MODES
The SPX1000 has the following DIGITAL I/O modes which
determine the operation of its analog and digital inputs and
outputs.
ANALOG
In this mode the DIGITAL IN connector is inactive and the
SPX1000 receives input via the analog INPUT L and R jacks.
Both the analog OUTPUT L and R and DIGITAL OUT
connectors are active so that the SPX1000’s output can be
simultaneously fed to analog and digital equipment if
required.
PRE(lNSERT PRE)
In this mode the SPX1000 receives input via the analog
INPUT L and R jacks. The DIGITAL IN and OUT jacks
function as a pre-effect insert point, allowing a second
SPX1000 or other Yamaha-format digital device to be inserted
into the signal path prior to both the input selector and effect
processor. Output is delivered via the analog OUTPUT L and
R jacks.
POST(INSERT POST)
In this mode the SPX1000 receives input via the analog
INPUT L and R jacks. The DIGITAL IN and OUT jacks
function as a post-effect insert point, allowing a second
SPX1000 or other Yamaha-format digital device to be inserted
into the signal path after the effect processor. Output is
delivered via the analog OUTPUT L and R jacks.
DIGITAL(DIGlTAL ONLY)
In this mode the analog INPUT L and R jacks are inactive and
the SPX1000 receives input via the DIGITAL IN connector.
Both the analog OUTPUT L and R and DIGITAL OUT
connectors are active so that the SPX1000’s output can be
simultaneously fed to analog and digital equipment if
required.
Selecting a DIGITAL l/O Mode
DIGITAL I/O modes are selected using the utility-mode A/D
I/O MODE function.
1. Press the UTILITY key three times to call the A/D I/O
MODE function.
This function has two parameters: MODE and CLK
(clock). The MODE parameter can be set to any of the four
DIGITAL I/O modes described above: ANA (Analog),
PRE, PST (Post), or DIG (Digital). When the DIG, PRE or
PST mode is selected, the CLK parameter can be set to
INT (Internal) or EXT (External), determining whether the
digital clock signal is derived from the SPX1000’s own
internal clock generator (INT) or the clock signal included
in the digital input signal received via the DIGITAL IN
connector (EXT). When the ANA mode is selected the
CLK parameter is fixed at INT.
2. Use the parameter select
and
keys to select the desired
DIGITAL I/O MODE. The name of the selected mode
should now be flashing on the LCD.
3. If necessary, press the PARAM key to move the
underline cursor to the CLK parameter and use the
parameter select
and
keys to select the desired CLK
setting. The SCROLL BACK key can be used to move
the underline cursor back to the MODE parameter if
necessary.
4. Press the STORE key to activate the selected DIGITAL I/O
mode and CLK setting. The name of the selected mode will
stop flashing and the corresponding DIGITAL I/O
indicator LED will light (INSERT PRE, INSERT POST or
DIGITAL ONLY). None of the DIGITAL I/O indicators
will light if the ANA mode is selected.
7
5. Press and hold the UTILITY key until its indicator goes
out and the utility mode is exited.
CAUTION!
When the SPX1000 clock (CLK) mode is switched from
internal (INT) to external (EXT), or vice-versa, a noise pulse
may appear at the outputs. This also occurs if the SPX1000 is
switched from digital to analog input while CLK is set to EXT
(CLK is automatically reset to INT in this case).
Be sure to lower the volume level of equipment connected to
the SPX1000 outputs when performing any of above
operations.

corresponding to the currently selected memory location
will be shown on the LCD, or "*** NO DATA ***" will
be displayed if a memory location between 41 and 99 is
selected into which an edited effect program has not been
stored. Note that at this stage the LED memory number
display is flashing, indicating that although a new location
has been selected, its contents have not yet been recalled.
3. When the desired memory location/effect has been
selected, press the RECALL key. The LED memory
number display will stop flashing and the selected effect
will be engaged.

BYPASSING THE EFFECT
There are two ways to switch the selected effect in and out: 1)
with the control panel BYPASS switch and 2) with a
footswitch connected to the connector-panel BYPASS
footswitch jack. An optional Yamaha FC5 Footswitch can be
used for foot-bypass control. In either case + when the
control-panel BYPASS key or BYPASS footswitch is pressed
+ the LED in the BYPASS key will light to indicate that the
selected program is currently being bypassed and the input
signal is directly routed to the output terminals (i.e. the effect
is OFF). Press the BYPASS key or footswitch a second time
to turn off the BYPASS Key LED and turn the effect back
ON.
Each SPX1000 program has 4 different groups of parameters
which are accessed by pressing the corresponding parameter
select keys:
KEY ACCESSES
PARAM The main effect parameters for each program.
These parameters will vary according the type
of program.
LEVEL The BALANCE and OUT LVL parameters for
each program.
The equalization or dynamic filter parameters
for each program.
EQ
INT. PARAM. Special "fine control" parameters for each
program. These parameters will vary
according to the type of program.
To call a specific group of parameters for the currently
selected effect program, press the appropriate parameter select
key. The next parameter within the group is called each time
the parameter select key for that group is pressed. In any
parameter group, the SCROLL BACK key can be used to
scroll backwards through the parameters. For example,
subsequent presses on the LEVEL parameter select key call
the following parameters:
BALANCE -> OUT LVL -> BALANCE -> etc.
The complete procedure for calling and editing parameters is:
1. Select and recall the program to be edited.
2. Press the parameter select key corresponding to the group
of parameters to be edited (PARAM, LEVEL, EQ or INT
PARAM) and the first of the selected group's parameters
will appear on the bottom line of the LCD.
3. Once the desired parameter has been called, its value can
be edited using the parameter

3. Press the STORE key to store the edited effect in the
In this way you can go through and edit any number of the
parameters to create the required effect. If, however, you
select and recall a new program without first storing your
edited parameters in a memory location between 41 and 99,
any changes you have made will be lost and will have to be
re-programmed. If you want to keep an edited program, use
the STORE operation described below.
STORING EFFECTS
In order to store an edited effect for later recall you need to do
the following:
1. Make sure that the SPX1000 MEMORY PROTECT
function is OFF. Press the UTILITY key a few times until
the MEMORY PROTECT function appears. If it is ON,
press the parameter key to turn it OFF. Press and hold
the UTILITY key until its indicator goes out and the utility
mode is exited.
2. After editing the effect. select a memory location between
41 and 99 by using the program select
and
keys. Do
not recall the selected memory location. If an edited
program has previously be stored in the selected memory
location. its title will be displayed on the LCD.
10
selected memory location. The title of the effect stored will
appear on the LCD (this may later be edited to create your
own effect title using the UTILITY mode TITLE EDIT
function described on page 31). The LED memory number
display will stop flashing and the stored memory location
will become the active effect.
NOTE:
You CANNOT store edited data to memory locations 1
through 40. If you attempt to do this the LCD will show
“*** READ ONLY ***”.
NOTE:
Once an effect has been stored in a memory location
between 41 and 99, its parameters can be further edited in
the new memory location. Such changes will be lost if a
different effect is selected and recalled, however, unless the
STORE function is used to store the changes. Changes may
be stored to the current memory location number (41 – 99)
simply by pressing the STORE key.
EXTERNAL CONTROL ASSIGNMENT
The SPX1000 allows two different parameters of a selected
effect to be controlled by optional foot controllers (Yamaha
FC7) connected to the front-panel EXT CTRL/FOOT VOL1
and 2 jacks. The EXT CTRL ASSIGN key is used to assign
the desired effect parameters to the foot controllers used, and
to set the required control range. External control assignments
made for an effect program can be stored in the user memory
area (41– 99) along with the effect (using the STORE
function described above), so that the assignments made are
recalled whenever that memory location is selected.
1. Select the desired effect program.
2. Select the parameter to be assigned to an external foot
controller (PARAM, LEVEL, EQ or INT PARAM
parameters can be assigned).
3. Press the EXT CTRL ASSIGN key. The name of the
selected effect program will remain on the upper line of the
LCD, and one of the following parameters will appear on
the lower line:
NOTE:
External control assignments will be lost if a different
memory location is selected without first storing the
assigned effect program into one of the user memory
locations (41 — 99) using the STORE function..
In the actual display, “XXXXXXXX” will be the name of
the default parameter for the selected effect program. The
EXT CTRL ASSIGN key can be used to scroll forward
through the above parameters, and the SCROLL BACK
key can be used to scroll backwards.
4. To assign the selected parameter to the EXT CTRL/FOOT
VOL 1 or EXT CTRL/FOOT VOL 2 controller, use the
EXT CTRL ASSIGN or SCROLL BACK key to call the
“FVOL1 XXXXXXXX” or “FVOL2 XXXXXXXX”
parameter.
5.
Press either the parameter
or
key and the parameter
you called within the selected effect program will be
assigned to the foot controller indicated on the display
(FVOL 1 or FVOL 2).
6. Use the “MIN” and “MAX” parameters for the appropriate
controller to set the control range. If the parameter to be
controlled has a range of 0 to 100%, for example, setting
the MIN parameter to 20 and the MAX parameter to 80
will allow the foot controller to vary the selected parameter
from 20% to 80% of its total range.
NOTE:
Either or both controllers may be assigned. When both
controllers are used, each can be assigned a different
parameter within the selected effect program.
NOTE:
MIDI control change messages received via the MIDI IN
connector can also be used to control assigned parameters.
See “MIDI CTRL ASSIGN” on page 63.
CAUTION!
When setting the range and storing it in the program,
always make sure the preset values for the assigned
parameters are included within the set range.
When setting the range, confirm the values for MIN and
MAX with the controller, and always make sure the preset
values are inside the externally set values.
If the preset values are outside the specified range, there
may be no response to the controller when a recall
operation is carried out.

4: THE PROGRAMS & PARAMETERS
PARAMETERS PROVIDED
FOR ALL PROGRAMS
LEVEL PARAMETERS (Accessed via LEVEL key)
Effect/Direct Signal Balance (BALANCE): 0 – 100%
This parameter adjusts the balance between the direct sound
and effect signals. At 100% only the effect sound is delivered
from the SPX1000 outputs, while at 0% only the direct sound
is output. At a setting of 50%, the direct and effect sounds are
output in approximately equal proportions.
Effect Output Level (OUT LVL): 0 – 200%
This parameter sets the overall output level of the effect
program. This is particularly handy for matching levels
between different effects.
2-CHANNEL PROGRAM (PROGRAMS 31 – 35) LEVEL
PARAMETERS
The level parameters available for the 2-channel programs
(programs 3 1
– 35) are the same as those for the other
programs, except that separate parameters are provided for the
left and right channels.
BALANCE 1 = 1 (Left)-channel Balance
BALANCE 2 = 2 (Right)-channel Balance
OUT LVL 1 = 1 (Left)-channel Output Level
OUT LVL 2
= 2 (Right)-channel Output Level
EQ PARAMETERS (Accessed via EQ key)
When the EQ key is pressed, you are presented with three
choices: “OFF” (the default setting), “EQ” (2-band parametric
equalizer mode), or “D.FLT” (Dynamic Filter mode). Use the
parameter
and keys to select the desired mode of
operation. The EQ mode provides 2-band parametric
equalization, while the Dynamic Filter mode provides a filter
which can be automatically swept across a specified frequency
range by the SPX1000’s internal low frequency oscillator or
the level of the input signal.
PARAMETERS AVAILABLE IN THE “EQ"
MODE
Low EQ Peaking or Shelving Response (LOW EQ.):
PEAK, SHLV
High EQ Peaking or Shelving Response (HIGH EQ):
PEAK, SHLV
These parameters determine whether the corresponding band
has a peaking or shelving filter response.
Low EQ Frequency (LOW FRQ): 32 Hz – 2.2 kHz
High EQ Frequency (HIGH FRQ): 500 Hz – 16 kHz
These parameters determine the center frequency for
equalization in the corresponding band. In the shelving mode,
these parameters represent the turn over frequency rather than
the center frequencies.
Low EQ Gain (LOW GAIN): -15 – + 15 dB
High EQ Gain (HIGH GAIN): -15 – + 15 dB
These parameters determine the amount of boost or cut
applied to the corresponding EQ band.
Low EQ Bandwidth (LOW Q): 0.1 – 5.0 (PEAK mode
only)
High EQ Bandwidth (HI Q): 0.1 – 5.0 (PEAK mode
only)
These parameters determine the bandwidth of the
corresponding EQ band. A setting of 5.0 produces the
narrowest bandwidth (sharpest response), and the minimum
setting of 0.1 produces the widest bandwidth (broadest
response). Note that the “Q” parameters for the low and high
bands only function when the corresponding band is set to the
PEAK mode.
PARAMETERS AVAILABLE IN THE “D.FLT”
MODE
Control Type (CTL TYPE): LFO, LEVEL
Determines whether the sweep of the dynamic filter is
controlled by the SPX1000’s LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator)
or the level of the input signal to analog trigger.
12
Filter Type (FLT TYPE): LPF, HPF, BPF, PEQ
Determines the response of the dynamic filter:
LPF = Low Pass Filter
HPF = High Pass Filter
BPF = Band Pass Filter
PEQ = Parametric EQ
Center Frequency (F CENTER): 32 Hz – 16 kHz
Sets the starting center frequency of the dynamic filter.
Frequency Depth (F DEPTH): 0 – 8 octaves
Determines the maximum sweep range of the dynamic filter.
Filter Gain (GAIN): -18, -12, -6, 6, 12, 18 dB (when
FLT TYPE = PEQ only)
Determines the gain of the dynamic filter when the PEQ filter
type is selected. Minus values create a notch response while
positive values create a peaking response.
Bandwidth (Q): LOW, HIGH
Sets the bandwidth of the dynamic filter.
Filter Shift Direction (SHIFT): UP, DOWN
Determines which direction the dynamic filter will sweep in
from the starting point.
Filter Sensitivity (SENSITIVITY): 1 – 10
Adjusts the sensitivity of the dynamic filter. Higher settings
create a greater degree of sweep for the same change in input
level (LEVEL control type).
Filter Decay (DECAY): 1 – 10
Determines the speed at which the dynamic filter will return
to the starting frequency after activation.
Low Frequency Oscillator Frequency (LFO FRQ): 0.1
– 10.0 Hz
Sets the LFO frequency and thus the speed of dynamic filter
sweep when the LFO control type is selected.
2-CHANNEL PROGRAM (PROGRAMS 31 – 35) EQ
PARAMETERS
The EQ parameters for the 2-channel programs (programs 31
– 35) are the same as for the other programs, except that
separate EQ parameters are provided for the left and right
channels when the “EQ” mode is selected.
L LOW EQ = Left-channel Low EQ
L LOW F = Left-channel Low Frequency
L LOW G = Left-channel Low Gain
L LOW Q = Left-channel Low Bandwidth

R HI F = Right-channel High Frequency
R HI G - Right-channel High Gain
R HI Q = Right-channel High Bandwidth
REVERB PROGRAMS
1. REV1 HALL
2. REV2 ROOM
3. REV3 VOCAL
4. REV4 PLATE
5. REV5 ECHO ROOM
Reverberation is the warm musical “ambience” you
experience when listening to music in a hall or other properly-
designed acoustic environment. The SPX1000 offers several
different reverb effects, simulating types of reverberation you
would experience in a hall (REV 1 HALL), in a smaller room
(REV 2 ROOM), a reverb effect ideally suited to vocals (REV
3 VOCAL), the type of reverberation produced artificially by
13
a plate reverberator (REV 4 PLATE), and a special echo room
(REV 5 ECHO ROOM) in which you have extensive control
over the room’s dimensions and other parameters.
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY
(Except 5. REV5 ECHO ROOM)
Reverb Time (REV TIME):
0.3 – 480 seconds (1 REV1 HALL, 3 REV3 VOCAL)
0.1 –480 seconds (2 REV2 ROOM, 4 REV4 PLATE)
The length of time it takes for the level of reverberation at 1
kHz to decrease by 60 dB + virtually to silence. In a live
setting, this depends on several factors: room size, room
shape, type of reflective surfaces, and others.
High Frequency Reverb Time Ratio (HIGH): 0.1 – 1.0
Natural reverberation varies according to the frequency of the
sound. The higher the frequency, the more sound tends to be
absorbed by walls, furnishings and even air. These two
parameters allow alteration of the high-frequency and low-
frequency reverb times in relation to the overall reverb time.
Diffusion (DIFFUSION): 0 – 10
The complexity of the many reflections that make up
reverberation varies according to the shape of the room and its
contents. In the SPX1000 the term “diffusion” refers to the
complexity of these reflections. If the DIFFUSION parameter
is set to “0,” minimum complexity and therefore a clearer,
more straightforward reverb effect is produced. As the
DIFFUSION value is increased, the complexity of the
reflections increases producing a thicker, richer sound.
Initial Delay (INI DLY): 0.1 – 1000 milliseconds
This represents the time delay between the direct sound of an
instrument in a concert hall and the first of the many
reflections that make up reverberation.
High-pass Filter Frequency (HPF FRQ): THRU, 32 Hz
– 1 kHz
Permits rolling off the low-frequency content of the reverb
signal above the set frequency. The HPF is OFF when set to
THRU.
Low-pass Filter Frequency (LPF FRQ): 1 – 16 kHz,
THRU
Permits rolling off the high-frequency content of the reverb
signal above the set frequency. The LPF is OFF when set to
THRU.
5. REV5 ECHO ROOM
Reverb Time (REV TIME): 0.3 – 480 seconds
The length of time it takes for the level of reverberation at 1
kHz to decrease by 60 dB + virtually to silence. In a live
setting, this depends on several factors: room size, room
shape, type of reflective surfaces, and others.
Room Width (WIDTH): 0.5 – 100.0 meters
Room Height (HEIGHT): 0.5 – 100.0 meters
Room Depth (DEPTH): 0.5 – 100.0 meters
These parameters make it possible to specify the main
dimensions of the echo room in meters. Basically, the larger
the dimensions of the room the longer the reverb sound.
Wall Variance (WALL VARY): 0 – 30
Irregularity factor refers to the relationship of the wall
surfaces in the echo room. At a setting of 1 all walls are
parallel. Higher settings increase the angles between the wall
surfaces, causing a distinct change in the reverb sound.
Listening Position (LIS. POSI.): FRONT, CENT., REAR
Allows position the “listener” to the front, center or rear of the
echo room in relation to the source sound.
High Frequency Reverb Time Ratio (HIGH): 0.1 – 1.0
Natural reverberation varies according to the frequency of the
sound. The higher the frequency, the more sound tends to be
absorbed by walls, furnishings and even air. These two
parameters allow alteration of the high-frequency and low-
frequency reverb times in relation to the overall reverb time.
Diffusion (DIFFUSION): 0 – 10
The complexity of the many reflections that make up
reverberation varies according to the shape of the room and its
contents. In the SPX1000 the term “diffusion” refers to the
complexity of these reflections. If the DIFFUSION parameter
is set to “0,” minimum complexity and therefore a clearer,
more straightforward reverb effect is produced. As the
DIFFUSION value is increased, the complexity of the
reflections increases producing a thicker, richer sound.
Initial Delay (INI DLY): 0.1 – 1000 milliseconds
This represents the time delay between the direct sound of an
instrument in a concert hall and the first of the many
reflections that make up reverberation.
High-pass Filter Frequency (HPF FRQ): THRU, 32 Hz
– 1 kHz
Low-pass Filter Frequency (LPF): 1 – 16 kHz, THRU
Same as other reverbs.
14
Width fine: -100 – +100
This sets the value specified with WIDTH as the reference
value (0) and is the parameter for fine adjustment.
Height Fine: -100 – +100
This sets the value specified with HEIGHT as the reference
value (0) and is the parameter for further fine adjustment.
Depth Fine: -100 – +100
This sets the value specified with DEPTH as the reference
value (0) and is the parameter for further fine adjustment.
Wall Vary Fine (W. VARY FINE): -100 – +100
This sets each of the value specified with WIDTH, HEIGHT,
DEPTH, and WALL VARY as the reference value (0) and is
the parameter for further fine adjustment.
W. Decay: RT x 0.1 – 1.0
Among the REV components, this sets the reverberation time
of the REV components specified with WIDTH to a multiplier
value corresponding to the REV TIME. It simulates the
acoustic properties of the side walls.
H. Decay: RT x 0.1 – 1.0
D. Decay: RT x 0.1 – 1.0
In the same way as for W. Decay, this sets a multiplier value
corresponding to REV TIME for reverberation time felt in
relation to the HEIGHT (vertical direction) in the height
direction and that felt for the DEPTH in the front-to-back
direction. It also simulates the acoustic properties of the walls
in the vertical and front-to-back disrections.
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM
KEY
Early Reflection/Reverb Balance (ER/REV BAL.): 0 –
100%
This parameter determines the level balance between the
early-reflection portion and final reverberation portion of the
reverb sound. At 100% only the early-reflection sound will be
produced. At 0% only the final reverberation sound will be
produced. A setting of about 50% produces both the early-
reflection and final reverberation sounds at equal level.
Reverb Delay (REV DLY): 0.1 – 300.0 milliseconds
Sets the delay between the beginning of the early reflections
the initial group of sparse reflections that precede the dense
reverb sound
– and the beginning of the reverb sound.
Density (DENSITY): 0 – 4
This parameter determines the density of the reverb
reflections (i.e. the average amount of time between
reflections). A setting of 1 produces minimum reverb density
for a more spacious sound, while a setting of 4 produces the
most dense, “tightest” reverberation.
Trigger Level (TRG. LEVEL): 0 – 100%
Determines the level of the input signal required to trigger
“opening” of the reverb program gate. At 100% only very
high-level input signals will trigger the gate, while at 1% even
the tiniest input signal will trigger the gate.
Trigger Delay (TRG. DLY): -100 – +100 milliseconds
Produces a delay between the time at which the gate is
triggered and that at which it actually opens.
Hold Time (HOLD): 1 – 24,000 milliseconds
Determines how long the gate stays open, allowing the signal
to pass.
Release Time (RELEASE): 3 – 24,000 milliseconds
Determines how long it takes for the gate to close fully after
the HOLD TIME has ended.
Analog Trigger Level (A. TRG LVL): 0 – 100
When an analog signal applied to the rear-panel TRIGGER 2
ANALOG jack is used to trigger the gate, this parameter
determines the level of the input signal required to trigger
“opening” of the reverb program gate. At 100% only very
high-level input signals will trigger the gate, while at 1% even
the tiniest input signal will trigger the gate. When this
function is used the TRG. LEVEL parameter should be set to
the highest value (100%) so that only signals applied to the
TRIGGER 2 ANALOG jack will activate the gate.
MIDI Trigger (MIDI TRG.): OFF, ON
When this parameter is turned ON, a KEY ON EVENT
message from an external MIDI keyboard can be used to
trigger the gate. A KEY ON EVENT message is transmitted
whenever a note on a MIDI keyboard is played.
NOTE:
This effect can also be triggered by the front-panel
TRIGGER key or a footswitch plugged into the rear-panel
TRIGGER 1 SW jack.

EARLY REFLECTION PROGRAMS
6. EARLY REF. 1
7. EARLY REF. 2
8. EARLY REF. 3
9. GATE REVERB
10. REVERSE GATE
These effects are created using different groupings of “early
reflections” –
the first cluster of reflections that occurs after
the direct sound but before the dense reflections that are
known as reverberation begin.
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY
Early Reflection Pattern Type (TYPE):
EARLY REF. 1 & 2: S-HALL, L-HALL, RANDOM,
REVERSE, PLATE, SPRING
EARLY REF. 3: USER-A, USER-B, USER-C,
USER-D
GATE REVERB & REVERSE GATE: TYPE A,
TYPE B
In the EARLY REF. 1 and EARLY REF. 2 programs the
TYPE parameter selects one of six different patterns of early
reflections. S-HALL produces a typical grouping of early
reflections that would occur in a performing environment such
as a small hall. L-HALL simulates the early reflection pattern
of a larger hall. RANDOM produces an irregular series of
reflections that could not occur naturally. REVERSE
generates a series of reflections that increase in level – like
the effect produced by playing a recorded reverberation sound
backwards. PLATE produces a typical grouping of reflections
that would occur in a plate reverb unit, and SPRING produces
the same for spring type reverb unit.
In the EARLY REF. 3 program the TYPE parameter selects
one of the four user-programmed early reflection patterns:
USER-A, USER-B, USER-C or USER-D. The USER early
reflection patterns are programmed using the utility-mode
“USER ER EDIT” function (see “USER ER EDIT” on page
31 for details).
In the GATE REVERB and REVERSE GATE programs the
TYPE parameter selects either TYPE-A or TYPE-B.
Room Size (ROOM SIZE): 0.1 – 25
This parameter sets the time intervals between the early
reflections + a feature of natural early reflections which is
directly proportional to the size of the room.
Liveness (LIVENESS): 0 – 10
“Liveness” refers to the rate at which the reflected sounds
fade. An acoustically “dead” room is simulated by setting this
parameter to zero. Increasing the value of this parameter
creates an increasingly “live” sound, simulating an increasing
area of reflective surfaces in the room.
16
Diffusion (DIFFUSION): 0 – 10
The complexity of the many reflections that make up
reverberation varies according to the shape of the room and its
contents. In the SPX1000 the term “diffusion” refers to the
complexity of these reflections. If the DIFFUSION parameter
is set to “0,” minimum complexity and therefore a clearer,
more straightforward early reflection effect is produced. As
the DIFFUSION value is increased, the complexity of the
reflections increases producing a thicker, richer sound.
Initial Delay (INI DLY): 0.1 – 1000 milliseconds
Initial delay is the time between the beginning of the direct
sound and the beginning of the early reflections.
High-pass Filter Frequency (HPF FRQ): THRU, 32 Hz
– 1 kHz
Permits rolling off the low-frequency content of the reverb
signal above the set frequency. The HPF is OFF when set to
THRU.
Low-pass Filter Frequency (LPF FRQ): 1 – 16 kHz,
THRU
Permits rolling off the high-frequency content of the reverb
signal above the set frequency. The LPF is OFF when set to
THRU.
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM
KEY
Number of Early Reflections (ER NUMBER): 1 – 19
This parameter directly sets the number of early reflections
produced from 1 to 19.
Feedback Delay (FB DELAY): 0.1 – 26000
milliseconds
Feedback Gain (FB GAIN): -99 – +99%
Feedback High-frequency Ratio (FB HIGH): 0.1 1.0
The feedback parameters permit thickening and/or extending
the early reflection sound. Feedback causes the early
reflections to generate more early reflections of themselves,
thus the FB GAIN parameter determines how many times (for
how long) the early reflections are repeated. The FB DELAY
parameter sets a delay time between the beginning of the
original early-reflections and the first of the repeats caused by
feedback. Shorter FB DELAY times simply thicken the early-
reflection sound, while longer FB DELAY times can create
extended or repeated early reflection effects. FB HIGH
determines how much of the high-frequency content of the
original early reflections is fed back. The lower the setting,
the less of the original high frequencies are fed back. This
causes a gradual decrease in high frequency content at each
repeat.
Density (DENSITY):
EARLYREF.2: 1 – 3
EARLY REF. 3, GATE REVERB, REVERSE GATE
:
Please note that the DENSITY parameter is not provided in
the EARLY REF. 1 program. This parameter determines the
density of the reverb reflections (i.e. the average amount of
time between reflections). A setting of 0 or 1 produces
minimum reverb density for a more spacious sound, while a
setting of 3 produces the most dense, “tightest” reverberation.
DELAY PROGRAM
11. DELAY L,C,R
This sophisticated delay effect offers independently variable
left, right and center channel delays.
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY
Left Channel Delay (Lch DLY): 0.1 – 5200
milliseconds
Right Channel Delay (Rch DLY): 0.1 – 5200
milliseconds
Center Channel Delay (Cch DLY): 0.1 – 5200
milliseconds
These parameters individually set the time between the direct
sound of the instrument and the first repeat heard from the
left, right and center channels.
Center Channel Level (Cch LVL): -200 – +200%
Adjusts the level of the center-channel delay signal.
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM
KEY
High-pass Filter Frequency (HPF FRQ): THRU, 32 Hz

Permits rolling off the low-frequency content of the reverb
signal above the set frequency. The HPF is OFF when set to
THRU.
Low-pass Filter Frequency (LPF FRQ):
1 – 16 kHz,
THRU
Permits rolling off the high-frequency content of the reverb
signal above the set frequency. The LPF is OFF when set to
THRU.
Feedback 1 Delay (FB1 DLY): 0.1 – 5200 milliseconds
Feedback 2 Delay (FB2 DLY): 0.1 – 5200 milliseconds
Two separate feedback loops are provided in the delay
program, and these parameters determine the amount of delay
applied to each feedback signal.
Feedback 1 Gain (FB1 GAIN): -99% – +99%
Feedback 2 Gain (FB2 GAIN): -99% – +99%
Set the amount of delay signal fed back to the input of the
processor. The higher the feedback gain setting, the greater
the number of delayed repeats produced by the corresponding
feedback loop.
High Frequency Feedback (HIGH): x0.1 – x1.0
Controls feedback in the high-frequency range. The high-
frequency feedback is reduced as the value of this parameter
is decreased.

12. STEREO ECHO
The stereo echo effect offers independently variable left and
right channel initial delays and echo intervals.

Left Channel Feedback Delay (LFB DLY): 0.1 – 2600
milliseconds
Right Channel Feedback Delay (RFB DLY): 0.1 – 26000
milliseconds
17
0—3
After the initial delay produced by the INI DLY parameters,
the time between subsequent repeats is determined by the left
and right channel interval parameters.
Left Channel Feedback Gain (Lch F.B): -99% +99%
Right Channel Feedback Gain (Rch F.B): -99%
+99%
Individually set the amount of the left or right channel delay
signal fed back to the input of the processor. The higher the
feedback gain setting, the greater the number of delayed
repeats produced for the corresponding channel.
High Frequency Feedback (HIGH): x0.1 x1.0
Controls feedback in the high-frequency range. The high-
frequency feedback is reduced as the value of this parameter
is decreased.
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM
KEY
Left Channel Initial (L INI DLY): 0.1— 2600
milliseconds
Right Channel Initial (R INI DLY): 0.1— 2600

THRU.
Low-pass Filter Frequency (LPF FRQ): 1 16 kHz,

Permits rolling off the high-frequency content of the reverb
signal above the set frequency. The LPF is OFF when set to
THRU.
MODULATION PROGRAMS
The stereo flange effects produce a pleasant "swirling" sound
which can effectively thicken and add warmth to the sound of
an instrument. The flanging effect is produced by varying the
delay between two identical signals, thus producing a complex
varying "comb filter" effect.
Phasing is basically a "gentler" version of the flange effect,
lending a smooth, animated quality to the original sound.
The tremolo effect is produced in the same way as the flange
effect, but has a "bigger," more sweeping sound. The
symphonic effect adds richness and life to the sound.
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY
Please note that STEREO PHASING does not have the F.B
GAIN parameter listed below, while TREMOLO and
SYMPHONIC have only the MOD FRQ and MOD DEPTH
parameters.
Modulation Frequency (MOD. FRQ): 0.05 Hz 40 Hz
Sets the speed of modulation, and hence the rate at which the
effect varies.
Modulation Depth (1, 2) (MOD. DEPTH): 0% 100%
Sets the amount of delay time variation, thus adjusting the
depth of the effect.
Modulation Delay (1, 2) (MOD. DLY): 0.1— 100
milliseconds
This sets the basic delay time from the initial direct sound to
the beginning of the flange effect.
Feedback Gain (F.B. GAIN): 0% 99%
Determines the amount of flange signal which is fed back to
the input of the processor for further modulation. More
feedback increases the overall complexity, "strength" and
decay time of the effect.
Phase (PHASE): -180.0 deg +180.0deg
(14. STEREO FLANGE B) Sets the phase between MOD.
DLY1 and
2.
Delay Time Modulation Depth (DM DEPTH): 0%

PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM
KEY
High-pass Filter Frequency (HPF FRQ): THRU, 32 Hz
– 1.0 kHz
Permits rolling off the low-frequency content of the reverb
signal above the set frequency. The HPF is OFF when set to
THRU.
Low-pass Filter Frequency (LPF FRQ): 1 – 16 kHz,
THRU
Permits rolling off the high-frequency content of the reverb
signal above the set frequency. The LPF is OFF when set to
THRU.
NOISE GATE
19. ADR-NOISE GATE
This program uses a “gate” to pass or shut off the input signal
in a number of ways. It can be used to pass just a short
segment of a longer input signal, or it can be set up to pass
only signals that exceed a specified level. In the latter case
this program functions as a “noise gate.” It is also possible to
create reverse gate type effects in which the gain increases
gradually after the effect is triggered.
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY
Trigger Level (TRG. LEVEL): 0 – 100%
Determines the level of the input signal required to trigger
“opening” of the gate. At 100% only very high-level input
signals will trigger the gate, while at 0% even the tiniest input
signal will trigger the gate.
Trigger Delay (TRG. DLY): -100 – +100 milliseconds
Produces a delay between the time at which the gate is
triggered and that at which it actually opens. If a minus value
is programmed, the input signal is delayed so that, effectively,
the gate opens before the signal appears.
Trigger Mask (TRG. MSK): 3 – 24000 milliseconds
This parameter makes it impossible to re-trigger the gate
function until the programmed time has elapsed.
Attack Time (ATTACK): 3 – 24000 milliseconds
Determines how long it takes for the gate to open fully from
the time it begins to open.
Decay Time (DECAY): 3 – 24000 milliseconds
Determines the length of time it takes for the gate envelope to
fall to DECAY LEVEL after it is fully open.
Decay Level (DECAY LVL): 0 – 100%
Determines the level at which the gate remains open for the
HOLD TIME. The lower the value, the lower the HOLD gate
level.
Hold Time (HOLD): 1 – 24000 milliseconds
Determines how long the gate stays open, allowing the signal
to pass at the DECAY LEVEL, after the first decay and prior
to beginning of the RELEASE TIME.
Release Time (RELEASE): 3 – 24000 milliseconds
Determines how long it takes for the gate to close fully after
the HOLD TIME has ended.
Analog Trigger Level (A. TRG LVL): 0 – 100%
When an analog signal applied to the rear-panel TRIGGER 2
ANALOG jack is used to trigger the gate, this parameter
determines the level of the input signal required to trigger
“opening” of the gate. At 100% only very high-level input
signals will trigger the gate, while at 1% even the tiniest input
signal will trigger the gate. When this function is used the
TRG. LEVEL parameter should be set to the highest value
(100%) so that only signals applied to the TRIGGER 2
ANALOG jack will activate the gate.
MIDI Trigger (MIDI TRG.): OFF, ON
When this parameter is turned ON, a KEY ON EVENT
message from an external MIDI keyboard can be used to
trigger the gate. A KEY ON EVENT message is transmitted
whenever a note on a MIDI keyboard is played.

NOTE:
This effect can also be triggered by the front-panel
TRIGGER key or a footswitch plugged into the rear-panel
TRIGGER 1 SW jack.
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY
20. PITCH CHANGE 1
PITCH CHANGE 1 makes it possible to produce two
independently pitch-shifted output notes in addition to the
direct signal, so you can create three-part harmonies with a
single input note. Both pitch-shifted notes appear at the center
of the stereo sound field.
1st Pitch Shift (1 PITCH): -24 – +24
2nd Pitch Shift (2 PITCH): -24 – +24
Set the pitch of the first or second pitch-shifted note between
two octaves below (-24) and two octaves above (+24) the
input note.
1st Fine Tuning (1 FINE): -100 – +100
2nd Fine Tuning (2 FINE): -100 – +100
Permit fine tuning of the first or second pitch-shifted note in
l-cent steps.
1st Delay Time (1 DLY): 0.1 – 2300 milliseconds
2nd Delay Time (2 DLY): 0.1 – 2300 milliseconds
Determines the time delay between input of the original note
and output of the first or second pitch-shifted note.
1st Feedback Gain (1 F.B.): -99 – +99
2nd Feedback Gain (2 F.B.): -99 – +99
When this parameter is set to 0, only a single pitch-shifted
sound is produced after the DELAY time has elapsed. As the
value of this parameter is increased, however, more and more
delayed repeats are produced, each pitch-shifted up or down
from the previous repeat according to the setting of the PITCH
parameter.
1st Level (1 LEVEL): 0 – 100%
2nd Level (2 LEVEL): 0 – 100%
These parameters determine the levels of the first and second
pitch-shifted notes.
21. PITCH CHANGE 2
Like the PITCH CHANGE 1 program, PITCH CHANGE 2
produces 2 pitch-shifted notes in addition to the original input
note. In this program, however, the two pitch-shifted notes are
independently fed to the left and right channel outputs (the
direct sound is positioned at the center of the stereo sound
field) for a true stereo harmony effect.
20
Left Pitch Shift (L PITCH): -24 – +24
Right Pitch Shift (R PITCH): -24 – +24
Set the pitch of the left or right channel pitch-shifted note
between two octaves below (-24) and two octaves above (+24)
the input note.
Left Fine Tuning (L FINE): -100 – +100
Right Fine Tuning (R FINE): -100 – +100
Permit fine tuning of the left or right channel pitch-shifted
note in l-cent steps.
Left Delay Time (L DLY): 0.1 – 2300 milliseconds
Right Delay Time (R DLY): 0.1 – 2300 milliseconds
Determine the time delay between input of the original note
and output of the left or right channel pitch-shifted note.
Left Feedback Gain (L.F.B.): -99 – +99
Right Feedback Gain (R.F.B.): -99 – +99
When this parameter is set to 0, only a single pitch-shifted
sound is produced after the DELAY time has elapsed. As the
value of this parameter is increased, however, more and more
delayed repeats are produced, each pitch-shifted up or down
from the previous repeat according to the setting of the PITCH
parameter.
22. PITCH CHANGE 3
PITCH CHANGE 3 offers the “thickest” and most complex
sound by allowing the creation of three pitch-shifted notes in
addition to the direct sound.
1st Pitch Shift (1 PITCH): -24 – +24
2nd Pitch Shift (2 PITCH): -24 – +24
3rd Pitch Shift (3 PITCH): -24 – +24
Set the pitch of the first, second or third pitch-shifted note
between two octaves below (-24) and two octaves above (+24)
the input note.
1st Fine Tuning (1 FINE): -100 – +100
2nd Fine Tuning (2 FINE): -100 – +100
3rd Fine Tuning (3 FINE): -100 – +100
Permit fine tuning of the first, second or third pitch-shifted
note in l-cent steps.
1st Delay Time (1 DLY): 0.1 – 4600 milliseconds
2nd Delay Time (2 DLY): 0.1 – 4600 milliseconds
3rd Delay Time (3 DLY): 0.1 – 4600 milliseconds
Determines the time delay between input of the original note
and output of the first, second or third pitch-shifted note.
1st Level (I LEVEL): 0 – 100%
2nd Level (2 LEVEL): 0 – 100%
3rd Level (3 LEVEL): 0 – 100%
These parameters determine the levels of the first, second and
third pitch-shifted notes.
39. STEREO PITCH
The STEREO PITCH program produces a smooth pitch shift
effect rather than an abrupt shift from note to note. The
parameters affect both the left and right channels
simultaneously.
Pitch Shift (PITCH): -24 – +24
Set the pitch of the pitch-shifted note between two octaves
below (-24) and two octaves above (+24) the input note.
Fine Tuning (PITCH FINE): -100 – +100
Permit fine tuning of the pitch-shifted note in l-cent steps.
Delay Time (DELAY): 0.1 – 2300 milliseconds
Determine the time delay between input of the original note
and output of the pitch-shifted note.
Feedback Gain (FB GAIN): -99 – +99
When this parameter is set to 0, only a single pitch-shifted
sound is produced after the DELAY time has elapsed. As the
value of this parameter is increased, however, more and more
delayed repeats are produced, each pitch-shifted up or down
from the previous repeat according to the setting of the PITCH
parameter.
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM
KEY
Base Key (BASE KEY): OFF, C1 – C6
This parameter sets the “BASE KEY” for an external MIDI
synthesizer used to control the PITCH parameter (the MIDI
OUT terminal of the synthesizer must be connected to the
SPX1000 MIDI IN terminal, and the SPX1000 must be set to
receive on the MIDI channel on which the synthesizer is
transmitting). If, for example, the BASE KEY parameter is set
to C4, pressing the C3 key on the synthesizer (C3 is one
octave lower than C4) will set the pitch change value to -12.
Pressing D4 on the keyboard would produce a pitch increase
of one whole-tone (+2). When two keys are pressed, the
highest note determines the pitch of the 1 PITCH or L PITCH
sound, and the lower note determines the pitch of the 2 PITCH
or R PITCH sound. With the STEREO PITCH program the
last note pressed takes priority. If a key more than two octaves
higher or lower than the BASE KEY is pressed, the resultant
pitch change setting will still be within the -24 to +24 range,
as shown in the illustration below. If the BASE KEY
parameter is set OFF, pitch cannot be controlled via the MIDI
IN terminal.
FREEZE PROGRAMS
23. FREEZE 1
24. FREEZE 2
40. STEREO FREEZE
The FREEZE programs allow sampling (digital recording) and
playback of sounds received at the SPX1000’s inputs. The
FREEZE 1 and FREEZE 2 programs permit sampling for a
maximum of 5.8 seconds, while the STEREO FREEZE
program allows sampling for a maximum of 2.9 seconds. The
FREEZE 1 and FREEZE 2 programs differ only in the
playback functions provided.
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY
23. FREEZE 1
The FREEZE 1 program allows single playback of the
sampled sound, with adjustable start and end points.
Record Mode (REC. MODE): MANUAL, AUTO
Determines how sampling is to be triggered. If MANUAL is
selected, sampling is initiated either by pressing the parameter
key, the TRIGGER key, or a footswitch connected to the
rear-panel TRIGGER 1 SW jack. If AUTO is selected,
sampling is automatically triggered by any input signal of
sufficient level.
21
Trigger Delay (TRG. DLY): -5800 – +1000
milliseconds
This parameter sets a delay between triggering and actual
initiation of the sampling process. If a negative value is
specified, input signals are temporarily stored and the sound is
sampled from the specified time before the trigger occurs.
Record Ready (RECORD):
The RECORD display must be called before sampling can
begin. With the RECORD display showing, press the
parameter
key and display will change to RECORD
READY. Sampling can now be starting using either the
MANUAL or AUTO method described above. The display
changes to “- - - - - -”
while sampling is in progress, and then
to “OK” when sampling is complete. Any previous data in the
freeze memory is erased when the RECORD function is
executed.
The sampled sound can now be played back by pressing the
TRIGGER key or a footswitch connected to the rear-panel
TRIGGER 1 SW jack. Playback can also be triggered by an
input signal of sufficient amplitude if the INPUT TRG
parameter is ON OR BY A SIGNAL APPLIED TO THE
REAR-PANEL TRIGGER 2 ANALOG JACK IF THE
ANALOG TRG PARAMETER IS ON (see PARAMETERS
ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM KEY). Pitched playback
of the sampled sound is possible by transmitting MIDI note
ON messages to the SPX1000’s MIDI IN connector from a
MIDI keyboard or other device (e.g. play a key on the
keyboard).
Overdub Ready (OVERDUB):
RECORD (see above) is used to sample a new sound.
OVERDUB is used to record a new sound over a previously
recorded sound. Call the OVERDUB display and begin
overdubbing by using either the MANUAL or AUTO method
described above. The display changes to “
” while
overdubbing is in progress, and then to “OK” when
overdubbing is complete. OVERDUB can be repeated as many
times as necessary.
The initially recorded and overdubbed sound can now be
played back by pressing the TRIGGER key or a footswitch
connected to the rear-panel TRIGGER 1 SW jack. Playback
can also be triggered by an input signal of sufficient amplitude
if the INPUT TRG parameter is on or by a signal applied to
the rear-panel trigger 2 analog jack if the analog trg parameter
is on (see PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT
PARAM KEY). Pitched playback of the sampled sound is
possible by transmitting MIDI note ON messages to the
SPX1000’s MIDI IN connector from a MIDI keyboard or
other device (e.g. play a key on the keyboard).
Playback Start Point (START): 0 – 5800 milliseconds
Total sample time is 5800 milliseconds (5.8 seconds). This
parameter determines at what point playback will begin when
a trigger occurs.
Playback End Point (END): 0 – 5800 milliseconds
This parameter determines at what point playback will end. If
the END point is set to a time earlier than the START point
(above), the sampled sound will be played back in reverse.
22
Playback Pitch (PITCH): -24 – +24
Determines the pitch of the playback sound in semitone
increments. PITCH can be varied from two octaves below
(-24) to two octaves above (+24) the original pitch of the
sampled sound.
Playback Pitch Fine Tuning (PITCH FINE): -100 –
+100
Permits fine tuning of the playback pitch in one-cent
increments (a cent is 1/100th of a semitone).
24. FREEZE 2
The FREEZE 2 program allows looped playback of the
sampled sound.
The REC. MODE, TRG. DLY, RECORD, OVERDUB,
START, END, PITCH and PITCH FINE parameters of the
FREEZE 2 program are exactly the same as those of the
FREEZE 1 program. Only the following parameters are
different.
Playback Loop Point (LOOP): 0 – 5800 milliseconds
As in the END parameter of FREEZE 1, this parameter sets
the end point of the sampled sound, but in the FREEZE 2
program playback is immediately resumed from the START
point as soon as the LOOP point is reached. The sampled
sound will therefore play continuously as long as the trigger is
held ON.
Loop Fine Adjust (LOOP FINE): -200 – +200
This parameter allows fine adjustment of the LOOP end point,
making it possible to create the smoothest transition between
the LOOP and START points.
40. STEREO FREEZE
STEREO FREEZE has the same parameters as the FREEZE 1
program, but has shorter TRG. DLY, START and END
parameter ranges to allow independent sampling of left and
right channel signals.
TRG. DLY: -2900 – +1000 milliseconds
START, END: 0 – 2900 milliseconds
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM
KEY
Please note that the FREEZE 2 program has only the BASE
KEY internal parameter.
Input Trigger (INPUT TRG): OFF, ON
Determines whether playback can be triggered by an input
signal of sufficient level.
Analog Trigger (ANALOG TRG): OFF, ON
Determines whether playback can be triggered by an analog
signal applied to the rear-panel TRIGGER 2 ANALOG jack.
Trigger Mask (TRG. MSK): 3 – 30000 milliseconds
This parameter makes it impossible to re-trigger playback
function until the programmed time has elapsed.
Base Key (BASE KEY): OFF, C1 – C6
This parameter sets the “BASE KEY” for an external MIDI
synthesizer used to control pitched playback of the sampled
sound (the MIDI OUT terminal of the synthesizer must be
connected to the SPX1000 MIDI IN terminal, and the
SPX1000 must be set to receive on the MIDI channel on
which the synthesizer is transmitting). If, for example, the
BASE KEY parameter is set to C4, pressing the C3 key on the
synthesizer (C3 is one octave lower than C4) will cause the
sampled sound to play one octave lower than its normal pitch.
If a key more than two octaves higher or lower than the BASE
KEY is pressed, the resultant pitch change setting will still be
within the -24 to +24 range, as shown in the illustration
below. If the BASE KEY parameter is set OFF, pitch cannot
be controlled via the MIDI IN terminal.
PAN PROGRAMS
25. PAN
26. TRIGGERED PAN
There are two Pan Programs:
23
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY
25. PAN
This is a very sophisticated pan program that allows creation
of “rotary” pan in addition to straightforward pan effects.
Pan Type (TYPE): L R, L R, L R, L-TURN,
R-TURN
Determines the direction in which the sound sweeps across the
stereo sound field. The L-TURN and R-TURN parameters
produce a pan which seems to rotate toward and away from
the listener in the specified direction.
Pan Speed (PAN SPEED): 0.05 – 40 Hz
Sets the speed of the PAN effect (i.e. how rapidly the signal
sweeps from channel to channel).
Front/Rear Depth (F/R DEPTH): 0 100%
When the L-TURN or R-TURN pan type is selected, this
parameter sets the apparent depth of the sweep from front to
rear.
Left/Right Depth (L/R DEPTH): 0 – 100%
Sets the “depth” of the pan sweep from left to right and right
to left.
26. TRIGGERED PAN
When triggered, this program automatically pans the sound
image between left and right or right and left in the stereo
sound field
with programmable attack, pan and release
rates.
Trigger Level (TRG. LEVEL): 1 – 100%
Determines the level of the input signal required to trigger the
panning effect. At 100% only very high-level input signals
will trigger the pan, while at 0% even the tiniest input signal
will trigger the pan.
Trigger Delay (TRG. DLY): -100 – +100 milliseconds
Produces a delay between the time at which the effect is
triggered and that at which it actually begins. If a minus value
is programmed, the input signal is delayed so that, effectively,
the effect begins before the signal appears.
24
Trigger Mask (TRG. MSK): 3 – 24000 milliseconds
This parameter makes it impossible to re-trigger the effect
until the programmed time has elapsed.
Attack Time (ATTACK): 3 – 24000 milliseconds
Determines how rapidly the panning effect begins.
Panning Time (PANNING): 3 – 24000 milliseconds
Determines how long it takes to complete the main portion of
the pan.
Release Time (RELEASE): 3 – 24000 milliseconds
Determines the speed of the end of the pan.
Pan Direction (DIRECTION): L R, L R
Determines the direction in which the sound sweeps across the
stereo sound field.
Left/Right Channel Balance (L/R BALANCE): 0 –
100%
Determines the maximum extent of the pan sweep. For
example, a setting of 100% produce a full pan from the
extreme left to right or vice versa, while a setting of 50% a
pan that is more restricted in its width across the stereo sound
field.
Analog Trigger Level (A. TRG LEVEL): 0 – 100%
When an analog signal applied to the rear-panel TRIGGER 2
ANALOG jack is used to trigger the pan effect, this parameter
determines the level of the input signal required to trigger the
effect. At 100% only very high-level input signals will trigger
the effect, while at 1% even the tiniest input signal will trigger
the effect. When this function is used the TRG. LEVEL
parameter should be set to the highest value (100%) so that
only signals applied to the TRIGGER 2 ANALOG jack will
activate the effect.
MIDI Trigger (MIDI TRG.): OFF, ON
When this parameter is turned ON, a KEY ON EVENT
message from an external MIDI keyboard can be used to
trigger the pan. A KEY ON EVENT message is transmitted
whenever a note on a MIDI keyboard is played.
NOTE:
This effect can also be triggered by the front-panel
TRIGGER key or a footswitch plugged into the rear-panel
TRIGGER 1 SW jack.
DISTORTION PROGRAM
27.DISTORTION
The distortion program is capable of producing an extremely
broad range of distortion sounds.
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY
Distortion (DISTORTION): 0 – 100%
This parameter sets the “degree” of distortion produced. A
setting of 0 produces a perfectly clean sound, while a setting
of 100 produces the most heavily distorted sound.
Midrange EQ Frequency (MID FRQ.): 250 Hz – 5.6
kHz
Sets the mid-frequency range to be boosted or cut using the
next parameter: MID GAIN.
Midrange EQ Gain (MID GAIN): - 12 – +12 dB
Boosts or cuts response in the frequency range set by the MID
FRQ parameter (above). A setting of 0 produces no boost or
cut. Minus settings (e.g: -6 dB) cut response in the selected
frequency range, while plus settings (e.g: +12 dB) boost
response.
Treble Boost/Cut (TREBLE): -12 – +12 dB
Permits boosting or cutting the high-frequency range. Minus
settings (e.g: -6 dB) reduce the high-frequency content of the
sound, while plus settings (e.g: +6 dB) emphasize the high-
frequencies.
Distortion Delay (DELAY): 0.1 – 1000 milliseconds
Sets the delay between the direct sound and the beginning of
the distortion effect.
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM
KEY
Trigger Level (TRG. LEVEL) : 0 – 100
The level of the input signal which allows the gate to open (or
applies a trigger, in other words) can be set. The larger the
value, the larger the input signal needed to open the gate. If
this is not specified, the gate will not open.
Release Time (RELEASE) : 3ms – 2400ms
Tis is the time between the point where the gate begins to
close and the point where it is fully closed. The larger the
value, the smoother the cut-off of the reverberation sound
becomes.
MULTI-EFFECT PROGRAMS
28. MULTI (CHO&REV)
29. MULTI (SYM+REV)
30. MULTI (EXC&REV)
The SPX1000 multi-effect programs combine compressor,
distortion, equalizer or dynamic filter (access via EQ key),
reverb and chorus or exciter effects. Refer to the effect
configuration diagram for each program to understand how the
various effects are “connected.”
In all cases the first parameter display allows turning each
effect ON or OFF. Use the PARAM and SCROLL BACK keys
to move the underline cursor to the desired effect, then use the
parameter or
key to turn the effect ON of OFF:
= OFF.
= ON. In this example display
COMPRESSOR (CO), CHORUS (CH) and REVERB (RV) are
ON, while DISTORTION (DI) is OFF.
Once the desired effects have been selected, use the PARAM
key to move on to the main parameters. Only parameters for
effects that are turned ON will appear.

The 2-channel programs provide different effects for the left
(1) and right (2) channels. The input signals to the left (1) and
right (2) channels are processed separately. Internal
parameters provided for each of the 2-channel programs
determine whether the output is mixed and delivered in stereo
or each channel functions independently (i.e. mono output x

COMPRESSOR & EXPANDER PROGRAMS
36. COMPRESSOR
This extremely versatile compressor program allows creation
of a wide range of compression and limiting effects. It can
simply be used to reduce the dynamic range of a signal, to
smooth out the sound of an electric bass or add sustain to an
electric guitar. It can help to reduce volume fluctuations as a
vocalist moves closer to or away from a microphone, or limit
the maximum level of a signal to prevent overloading certain
types of amplification of recording equipment. The
COMPRESSOR program is a stereo compressor in which the
higher signal level + left- or right-channel + is used for gain
control.
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY
Attack Time (ATTACK): 1 – 40 milliseconds
Determines how long it takes for full compression to be
reached after the effect is triggered (i.e. the THRESHOLD
level is exceeded). The right ATTACK setting is essential to
preserve the natural initial attack sound of the instrument used
— or modify it as desired.
Release Time (RELEASE): 10 – 2,000 milliseconds
Determines how long it takes for compression to be released
after the input signal drops below the THRESHOLD level.
The RELEASE setting is important to preserve the natural
release sound of the instrument used. Too short a RELEASE
setting will cause the sound to be cut off unnaturally.
Threshold Level (THRESHOLD): -48 – -6 dB
Determines the level of the input signal at which the
compression effect begins. Set at a low level (-48 dB) all input
signals will be compressed. At a higher level, only those
signals exceeding the THRESHOLD level will be compressed,
thus producing a limiting effect. The THRESHOLD level
must be set to match the level and characteristics of the
instrument being used, as well as the desired effect.
Compression Ratio (RATIO): 1 – 20
This parameter sets the “amount” of compression applied to
the input signal. A setting of 1.0 produces no compression,
while a setting of 20 produces maximum compression.
Expansion Threshold (EXPAND THRS): -72 – -30 dB
Expansion Ratio (RATIO): 1–5
These parameters can be used to cut out low-level noise.
Expansion is applied to signal levels below the set expander
threshold.
Initial Delay Time (DELAY): 0.1 – 2300 milliseconds
Determines the time delay between the direct sound and the
compressed effect sound.
Detect Delay (DET. DLY): -50 – +50 milliseconds
This parameter sets an initial delay between the time the input
signal begins (the time the THRESHOLD level is exceeded)
and the time the compression effect begins. This delay can be
used to allow the initial attack of an instrument to come
through completely unaffected while the rest of the signal is
compressed. A minus DET DLY setting causes the
compressed sound to appear before the direct instrument
sound.
PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT
PARAMETER KEY
Detector High Pass Filter Frequency (DET. HPF):
THRU, 500 Hz – 8 kHz
Allows compression to be applied to a specific range of
frequencies. Compression is only applied to frequencies
higher than the set DET. HPF frequency. Compression is
applied to all frequencies when this parameter is set to THRU.
29
37. LO LVL EXPANDER
The EXPANDER program allows efficient suppression of
low-level noise, contributing to a cleaner-sounding overall
signal. This i a stereo expander in which the highest signal
level – left- or right-channel - is used for gain control.
NOTE:
The EXPANDER program has no internal parameters.
Expansion Threshold (THRESHOLD): -72 – -30 dB
Sets the expansion threshold. Expansion will be applied to all
signal levels below the set threshold.
Expansion Ratio (RATIO): 1 – 5
Determines the degree of expansion applied. A setting of 1
produces no expansion, while the maximum setting of 5
produces the greatest degree of expansion (i.e. greatest
attenuation of signals below the threshold).
Initial Delay Time (DELAY): 0.1 – 2300 milliseconds
Determines the time delay between the direct sound and the
beginning of expander operation.
EXCITER PROGRAM
38. EXCITER
This program artificially adds appropriate harmonics to the
input signal, adding luster and effectively bringing “buried”
sounds to the foreground.
HPF FRQ: 500Hz – 16kHz
Determines the range of high harmonics added to the input
sound. The smaller the value, the greater the range of high
harmonics applied.
ENHANCE: 0 – 100%
Sets the level of the harmonics added to the input sound. The
higher the value, the greater the exciter effect.
Exciter/Direct Sound Mix (MIX L VL): 0 – 100%
Sets the mixture or balance between the direct input sound and
the applied harmonics.
STEREO PROGRAMS
39. STEREO PITCH

BACK key can be used at any time to scroll backwards
through the USER ER EDIT parameters.
31
MEMORY PROTECT
The MEMORY PROTECT function must be OFF prior to
performing a STORE operation. If you attempt to execute a
STORE while MEMORY PROTECT is ON, the
“PROTECTED” display will appear and the STORE operation
will be aborted.
1. Press the UTILITY key a few times until the MEMORY
PROTECT function appears.
2. MEMORY PROTECT can be turned ON by pressing the
parameter key and off by pressing the parameter key.
MIDI CONTROL & MIDI PGM CHANGE
The SPX1000 makes it possible to select specific programs
via external MIDI control. You can set up the SPX1000 for
example, so that when you select a voice on a synthesizer the
most appropriate effect for that voice is automatically
selected. This is accomplished because each time you select a
voice on your MIDI synthesizer it transmits the corresponding
MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE NUMBER. The SPX1000
receives this PROGRAM CHANGE NUMBER and selects the
effect program that you have assigned to it using the MIDI
PROG CHANGE function which will be described below. The
SPX1000 also accepts MIDI KEY ON EVENT messages to
trigger some of the gate effects, and MIDI KEY ON
NUMBERS to set the PITCH parameter of the PITCH
CHANGE effects. The SPX1000 actually can be programmed
with four completely independent sets of MIDI PROGRAM
CHANGE NUMBER/MEMORY NUMBER assignments.
Each of these is contained in a different “bank”: A, B, C or D.
Each BANK may also be programmed to receive on a
different MIDI channel. An example of the way the four banks
may be programmed with different receive channels and
program number/memory number assignments is given below:
32
Bank Selection and MIDI Channel Programming
1. Press the UTILITY key until the MIDI CONTROL function
appears.
2. The underline cursor should be under the BANK parameter.
Use the parameter
and
keys to select the bank you
wish to program.
3. Move the cursor to the “ch=” parameter by pressing the
PARAM key, then use the parameter
and keys to set
the receive MIDI channel (1 + 16), the OMNI mode (all
channels can be received), or turn MIDI reception OFF for
the selected bank. The underline cursor can be moved back
to the BANK parameter if necessary by pressing the
SCROLL BACK key.
Assigning Effects to MIDI Program Change Numbers
1. Select the MIDI PGM CHANGE function using the
UTILITY key or program select
and
keys. The
underline cursor should be under the PGM parameter.
2.
Use the parameter
and
keys to select the program
change number to which a new SPX1000 memory location
number is to be assigned. The range of available program
change numbers is from 1 to 128.
3. Move the underline cursor to the MEM parameter by
pressing the PARAM key. Use the parameter
and
keys
to select the memory location number containing the effect
which is to be assigned to the currently selected program
change number.
4. Move the underline cursor back to the PGM parameter and
repeat the above steps to assign as many program change
numbers as necessary.
NOTE:
The program number/memory number assignments made
are stored in the BANK selected in the previous MIDI
CONTROL function. To program the program change/
memory number assignments for a different BANK, return
to the MIDI CONTROL function, select the desired BANK,
then program the required assignments.
MIDI CTRL ASSIGN
This function makes it possible to use MIDI control change
message to control the parameters assigned to the EXT CTRL/
FOOT VOL 1 and 2 controllers (see “EXTERNAL
CONTROL ASSIGNMENT” on page 10 ).
1. Use the UTILITY key to call the MIDI CTRL ASSIGN
function.
2. The underline cursor should be under the ASS (Assign)
parameter. Use the parameter
and keys to select either
ASS 1 for control of the parameter assigned to FVOL1, or
ASS2 for control of the parameter assigned to FVOL2.
3. Press the PARAM key to move the cursor to the right
parameter and select the MIDI control change message you
will use to control the assigned parameter by using the
program select and
keys.

parameter can be controlled from the modulation wheel of a
synthesizer connected to the SPX1000 MIDI IN connector
(assuming that the MIDI channels are properly matched). The
cursor can be moved back to the ASS parameter if necessary
by pressing the SCROLL BACK key.
BULK OUT 1 & BULK OUT 2
This function permits dumping program data and/or BANK
MIDI assignments via the MIDI OUT terminal (The MIDI
THRU/OUT terminal must be switched to MIDI). This permits
transferring data to a second SPX1000 or storing the data on
a MIDI data recorder. The SPX1000 automatically reloads
data received from a MIDI data recorder into the appropriate
memory locations. *
The BULK OUT 1 function permits dumping all SPX1000
memory data (ALL), independent memory locations (MEM),
and independent program change assignment banks (BANK).
The BULK OUT 2 function permits dumping user early
reflection patterns (USER.ER) or all system data (SYSTEM,
current system status).
1. Use the UTILITY key to select the BULK OUT 1 or BULK
OUT 2 function.
2. Use the PARAM and SCROLL BACK keys to select the
data group to be dumped (ALL, MEM, BANK, USER.ER
or SYSTEM).
3. If you selected ALL or SYSTEM, simply press the STORE
key to execute the bulk dump.
4. If you select MEM, BANK or USER.ER, use the parameter
and
keys to select the desired memory location
number, bank or user reflection pattern, then press STORE
to execute the BULK DUMP operation. Selecting
in-
stead of a number will cause all the memories, all the
banks, or all the user reflection patterns to be transmitted.
33
* A bulk dump will only be received by the SPX1000 if its
MEMORY PROTECT function is OFF and the MIDI
channel is the same as that of the transmitting equipment.
Since bulk data from a second SPX1000, for example, is
loaded into the memory location(s) that it was transmitted
from, make sure that those locations do not cantain
important data that will be overwritten.
F.SW MEMORY RCL
The SPX1000 permits memory selection via an optional
Yamaha FC5 footswitch connected to the “INC/DEC”
footswitch jack. The F.SW MEMORY RCL function permits
setting the range of memory location numbers that will be
selected when the footswitch is pressed.
1. Use the UTILITY key to call the F.SW MEMORY RCL
function. The underline cursor should be located under the
first memory number in the range.
2.
Use the parameter
and
keys to enter the first number
in the range.
3. Press the PARAM key to move the cursor to the second
number in the range.
4. Use the parameter
and
keys to enter the second number
in the range.
34
F.SW MEMORY RCL RANGE 50 TO 60
If, for example, the RANGE parameter is set to “50 TO 60” as
shown in the LCD illustration above, each time the footswitch
is pressed the next highest memory location will be selected
until the last number in the specified range is reached. After
the last number in the specified range, the first (lowest)
number is selected and the process repeated.
F.SW MEMORY RCL RANGE 44 TO 41
Reverse sequences can be programmed by entering the highest
number in the range before the lowest, as shown below.
In this case the selection sequence is: 44
43
42

YAMAHA AUTHORIZED PRODUCT MANUAL Professional Multi-effect Processor YAMAHA Professional Multi-effect Processor Operation Manual INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your acquisition of a Yamaha SPX1000 Professional Multi-effect Processor. The SPX1000 is a highly sophisticated digital reverberation and effects system which offers 40 preset effect programs including accurate simulations of natural reverberation and early-reflections, delay and echo effects, gated effects, modulation effects, a versatile compressor, a low-level expander, a harmonic exciter, multiple effects which function as several SPX000 units in one, independent 2-channel effects, freeze (sampling) programs and others. With a sampling frequency of 44. 1 kHz, it delivers full, flat frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz for exceptionally clean, “transparent” effect sound, and direct digital interfacing capability makes it compatible with the most up-todate sound systems. The preset effect programs can be edited, re-titled, and stored in any of 59 RAM user memory locations. Individual two-band parametric EQ and dynamic filter parameters are provided for each effect program for precise tonal tailoring. In addition to the basic effect and EQ parameters, the SPX1000 offers a list of “internal parameters” which provide exacting control over the effect sound. The SPX1000 is also MIDI compatible, with a MIDI IN terminal that allows MIDI selection of effect programs, and a switchable MIDI THRU/OUT terminal. When switched to OUT, edited programs stored in internal RAM can be dumped to a MIDI data recorder or other data storage device. Programs thus stored can be reloaded when necessary via the MIDI IN terminal. As an extra touch of convenience the SPX1000’s analog input and output terminals can be switched to match -20 dBm or +4 dBm line levels + providing compatibility with a broader range of sound equipment. In order to fully take advantage of all the capability offered by the SPX1000 Professional Multi-effect Processor, we urge you to read this operation manual thoroughly— and keep it in a safe place for later reference. FCC INFORMATION While the following statements are provided to comply with FCC Regulations in the United States, the corrective measures listed below are applicable worldwide. This series of Yamaha professional music equipment uses frequencies that appear in the radio frequency range and if installed in the immediate proximity of some types of audio or video devices (within three meters), interference may occur. This series of Yamaha combo equipment have been type tested and found to comply with the specifications set for a class B computing device in accordance with those specifications listed in subpart J of part 15 of the FCC rules. These rules are designed to provide a reasonable measure of protection against such interference. However, this does not guarantee that interference will not occur. If your professional music equipment should be suspected of causing interference with other electronic devices, verification can be made by turning your combo equipment off and on. If the interference continues when your equipment is off, the equipment is not the source of interference. If your equipment does appear to be the source of the interference, you should try to correct the situation by using one or more of the following measures: Relocate either the equipment or the electronic device that is being affected by the interference. Utilize power outlets for the professional music equipment and the device being affected that are on different branch (circuit breaker or fuse) circuits, or install AC line filters. In the case of radio or TV interference, relocate the antenna or, if the antenna lead-in is 300 ohm ribbon lead, change the lead-in to co-axial type cable. If these corrective measures do not produce satisfactory results, please contact your authorized Yamaha professional products dealer for suggestions and/or corrective measures. If you cannot locate a franchised Yamaha professional products dealer in your general area contact the professional products Service Department, Yamaha Music Corporation, 6600 Orangethorpe Ave., Buena Park, CA 90620, U.S.A. If for any reason. you should need additional information relating to radio or TV interference, you may find a booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful: “How to identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems”. This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington D.C. 20402 - Stock No. 004-000-00345-4.

CLEAN WITH A SOFT DRY CLOTH 1. AVOID EXCESSIVE HEAT, HUMIDITY, DUST AND VIBRATION Keep the unit away from locations where it is likely to be exposed to high temperatures or humidity – such as near radiators, stoves, etc. Also avoid locations which are subject to excessive dust accumulation or vibration which could cause mechanical damage. Never use solvents such as benzine or thinner to clean the unit. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth. 7. ALWAYS USE THE CORRECT POWER SUPPLY Make sure that the power supply voltage specified on the rear panel matches your local AC mains supply. 8. ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE 2. AVOID PHYSICAL SHOCKS Strong physical shocks to the unit can cause damage. Handle it with care. 3. DO NOT OPEN THE CASE OR ATTEMPT REPAIRS OR MODIFICATIONS YOURSELF This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Refer all maintenance to qualified Yamaha service personnel. Opening the case and/or tampering with the internal circuitry will void the warranty. 4. MAKE SURE POWER IS OFF BEFORE MAKING OR REMOVING CONNECTIONS Always turn the power OFF prior to connecting or disconnecting cables. This is important to prevent damage to the unit itself as well as other connected equipment. 5. HANDLE CABLES CAREFULLY Since the SPX000 contains digital circuitry, it may cause interference and noise if placed too close to TV sets, radios or similar equipment. If such a problem does occur, move the SPX1000 further away from the affected equipment. 9. BACKUP BATTERY The SPX1000 contains a long-life lithium battery which maintains the contents of the buffer and user memory locations even when the unit is turned OFF. With normal use the battery should last for approximately 5 years. If the battery voltage falls below the safe level, however, the "*** WARNING *** LOW BATTERY” display will appear on the LCD when the power is first turned ON. If this occurs, have the battery replaced by a qualified Yamaha service center. Do not attempt to replace the battery yourself! Always plug and unplug cables – including the AC cord – by gripping the connector, not the cord.

When the power is turned ON, the last program and parameter selected will be automatically recalled. Input Level Controls These concentric controls vary the input level of the analog inputs from approximately -90 dB to +l0 dB when the rear-panel input level switch is set to +4 dB, and between approximately -110 dB and -14 dB when the input level switch is set to -20 dB. The inner control adjusts the left channel and the outer control adjusts the right channel. PARAM Key Accesses the main effect parameters for each program. Each time the PARAM key is pressed the next parameter in the selected program’s “parameter set” is called. It is also possible to scroll backward through the parameter set by using the SCROLL BACK key (7). Once the desired parameter has been selected its value or setting can be changed using the parameter and keys (9). The PARAM key is also used for cursor control (forward cursor movement) in some utility functions. • Details under “THE PROGRAMS & PARAMETERS” starting on page 12 LEVEL Key Accesses the output level and balance parameters for each program. Once the LEVEL key has been pressed, both the LEVEL key and SCROLL BACK (7) key can be used to select parameters. Once the desired parameter has been selected its value or setting can be changed using the parameter and keys (9). • Details on page 12 EQ Key Accesses the digital equalizer or dynamic filter parameters for each program. Once the EQ key has been pressed, both the EQ key and SCROLL BACK (7) key can be used to select parameters. Once the desired parameter has been selected its value or setting can be changed using the parameter and keys (9). • Details on page 12 INT PARAMETER Key Accesses a special set of internal parameters for each effect program. Once the INT PARAM key has been pressed, both the INT PARAM key and SCROLL BACK (7) key can be used to select parameters. Once the desired parameter has been selected its value or setting can be changed using the parameter and keys (9). • Details under “THE PROGRAMS & PARAMETERS” starting on page 12 SCROLL BACK Key When any set of parameters is selected – PARAM, LEVEL, EQ, or INT PARAM – the SCROLL BACK key can be used to scroll backward through the available parameters while the PARAM (3), LEVEL (4), EQ (5) or INT PARAMETER (6) key scrolls forward, according to the parameter set selected. The preceding parameter in the current set is selected each time the SCROLL BACK key is pressed. The SCROLL BACK key is also used for cursor control (backward cursor movement) in some utility functions. EXT CTRL ASSIGN Key This key makes it possible to assign any parameters (PARAM, LEVEL, EQ or INT PARAM) to external controllers connected to the front-panel EXT CTRL/ FOOT VOL 1 and 2 jacks (21). These controllers can then be used to control the assigned parameter in real time. Yamaha FC7 Foot Controllers are recommended. • Details on page 10 Parameter and Keys These keys are used to change parameter values when parameters are selected for editing (after the PARAM, LEVEL, EQ or INT PARAM key has been pressed). The and keys are also used to program several parameter UTILITY functions. The and keys can be pressed briefly to change values in single steps, or held down for rapid continuous incrementing or decrementing of the selected value. While holding down either the or key, pressing the other key or causes the incrementing or decrementing process to be carried out more rapidly. 3 Program Select and Keys These keys are used to select any of the SPX1000’s memory locations. The key increments (increases) the memory location number while the key decrements (decreases) the memory location number. Holding either key down causes continuous scrolling in the specified direction. • Details on page 9 RECALL Key When a new memory location number has been selected using the program select and keys, the RECALL key must be pressed to activate the selected effect. • Details on page 9 STORE Key This key is used to store edited effect programs into one of the user memory locations between 41 and 99. • Details on page 10 UTILITY Key This key accesses a set of utility functions allowing selection of the SPX1000's input/output mode, editing of effect titles, creation of original early-reflection patterns, MIDI control programming, footswitch recall range programming and others. • Details on page 31 TRIGGER Key The TRIGGER key allows manual triggering of any SPX1000 effect program that has trigger parameters. The reverb programs, for example, include a triggerable gate, and the freeze programs allow triggering of recording and playback. The TRIGGER key has the same function as a footswitch plugged into the rear-panel TRIGGER 1 SW jack (THE CONNECTOR PANEL, 6). BYPASS Key The BYPASS key switches the selected effect ON or OFF. leaving only the direct signal when BYPASS is active. The BYPASS key has the same function as a footswitch plugged into the rear-panel BYPASS jack (THE CONNECTOR PANEL, 4). • Details on page 9 4 LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) This 16-character x 2-line liquid crystal display panel normally displays the title of the selected effect on the top line and a selected parameter and its value on the bottom line. One or both lines may also be used to display error messages or warnings. “M” will be displayed in the upper right corner after receiving the MIDI data. LED Memory Number Display This 2-digit numeric display shows the number of the currently selected memory location (1 – 99). When the LED display is continuously lit the effect corresponding to the number displayed is active. When the LED display is flashing, this indicates that a new memory location has been selected but has not yet been recalled, leaving the previously selected effect active. INPUT MODE Indicators Indicate the selected input mode. • Details on page 6 DIGITAL I/O Indicators Indicate the selected DIGITAL I/O mode. • Details on page 7 Input Level Meter The stereo input level meter consists of eight LED segments per channel, corresponding to -42 dB, -36 dB, -30 dB, -24 dB, -18 dB, -12 dB, -6 dB and CLIP input level. EXT CTRL/FOOT VOL 1 and 2 Jacks Optional Yamaha FC7 Foot Controllers plugged into these jacks can be used to directly control SPX1000 effect program parameters. The parameters to be controlled are assigned to the controllers using the EXT CTRL ASSIGN key (8). • Details on page 10 THE CONNECTOR PANEL L(MONO) & R INPUT Connectors and Level Switch These are the analog stereo inputs to the SPX1000. The input jacks are standard 1/4” monaural phono types. The level switch selects either -20 dB or +4 dB nominal input level. Please note that the operation of the INPUT jacks depends on the selected INPUT and DIGITAL I/O modes. Refer to “INPUT MODES” and DIGITAL I/O MODES” on page 6 for details. When an input mode has not been selected and only one input is being used, input is through L(MONO). L & R OUTPUT Connectors and Level Switch The stereo analog outputs from the SPX1000. The output jacks are standard l/4” monaural phono types. The level switch selects either -20 dB or +4 dB nominal output level. Please note that the operation of the OUTPUT jacks depends on the selected DIGITAL I/O mode. Refer to “DIGITAL I/O MODES” on page 7 for details. DIGITAL IN and OUT Connectors These are the SPX1000’s stereo digital inputs and outputs. All digital data is handled in Yamaha format. The DIGITAL IN and OUT connectors are directly compatible with other Yamaha equipment that provides digital I/O capability – the DMP7D Digital Mixing Processor and DEQ7 Digital Equalizer are excellent examples. The Yamaha FMC1 Format Converter can also be used to convert the SPX1000’s digital output to virtually all popular digital formats, allowing direct connection to standard digital recorders, etc. Please note that the operation of the DIGITAL IN and OUT jacks depends on the selected DIGITAL I/O mode. Refer to “DIGITAL I/O MODES” on page 7 for details. BYPASS Footswitch Jack An optional Yamaha FC5 footswitch or equivalent connected to this jack can be used for foot control of the BYPASS function. • Details on page 9 INC/DEC Footswitch Jack An optional Yamaha FC5 footswitch or equivalent connected to this jack can be used to recall a range of programs specified by the UTILITY mode F.SW MEMORY RECALL RANGE function. • Details on page 34 TRIGGER 1 SW Footswitch Jack The TRIGGER 1 SW footswitch jack accepts a Yamaha FC5 or equivalent footswitch for foot-controlled triggering of any SPX1000 effect program that has trigger parameters. The reverb programs, for example, include a triggerable gate, and the freeze programs allow triggering of recording and playback. A footswitch connected to the TRIGGER 1 SW jack has the same function as the frontpanel TRIGGER key (THE FRONT PANEL, 14). TRIGGER 2 ANALOG Jack & MIC/LINE Switch The triggerable SPX1000 effect programs (gate programs, freeze programs, etc.) can be triggered by the front-panel TRIGGER key, a footswitch connected to the TRIGGER 1 SW jack, or an input signal appearing at the INPUT L and R or DIGITAL IN connectors. The TRIGGER 2 ANALOG jack offers a fourth triggering method: triggering can be accomplished by applying an analog signal of sufficient amplitude to this jack. The MIC/LINE switch changes the sensitivity of the TRIGGER 2 ANALOG input to accept microphone or line-level signals. MIDI IN and THRU/OUT Terminals MIDI signals from external MIDI devices can be fed to the MIDI IN terminal to remotely select effects, set the pitch shift of the pitch change effects and set the pitch of freeze-program playback. When the switch controlling the remaining MIDI terminal is set to THRU, the terminal simply re-transmits data received at the MIDI IN terminal allowing daisy-chaining of MIDI devices. When set to OUT, the internal RAM memory contents may be dumped to a MIDI data recorder for large-volume, longterm storage. Program data thus stored can be reloaded later via the MIDI IN terminal (see BULK OUT 1 & BULK OUT 2 on page 33). 5 2: THE SPX1000 SYSTEM MEMORY CONFIGURATION The SPX1000 has a total of 99 internal memory locations. Locations 1 through 40 are READ-ONLY MEMORY containing 40 preset effect programs. These locations cannot be written to or changed in any way. The preset effect programs contained in memory locations 1 through 40 are: 1. REV 1 HALL 2. REV 2 ROOM 3. REV 3 VOCAL 4. REV 4 PLATE 5. REVS ECHO ROOM 6. EARLY REF. 1 7. EARLY REF. 2 8.

STEREO FREEZE Locations 41 through 99 are READ/WRITE MEMORY which can be used to store your own edited versions of the preset programs. This is the normal mode of operation in which left- and rightchannel signals received at the left- and right-channel inputs are passed on to the SPX1000 processing circuitry on the same channels as which they were received. STEREO REVERSE In this input mode the received left- and right-channel signals are switched to the opposite channels. The left-channel input is fed to the right-channel processing circuitry and the rightchannel input signal is fed to the left-channel processing circuitry. MONO LEFT This and the MONO R mode described below are ideal for use with monaural input signals. In the MONO L mode a monaural signal received at the INPUT L jack is fed to both the left- and right-channel processing circuitry. MONO RIGHT INPUT MODE AND DIGITAL I/O CONFIGURATIONS The SPX1000 offers a choice of input modes as well as analog and digital input/output configurations, providing extraordinary flexibility in “adapting” to various systems and requirements. INPUT MODES The SPX1000 offers the following input modes, regardless of the selected DIGITAL I/O mode: STEREO NORMAL A monaural signal received at the INPUT R jack is fed to both the left- and right-channel processing circuitry. Selecting an Input Mode Input modes are selected using the utility-mode INPUT MODE function. 1. Press the UTILITY key twice to call the INPUT MODE function. 6 2. Use the parameter select and keys to select the desired input mode. The name of the selected input mode should now be flashing on the LCD. 3. Press the STORE key to activate the selected input mode. The name of the selected mode will stop flashing and the corresponding INPUT MODE indicator LED will light (ST NORMAL, ST REVERSE, MONO L or MONO R). In this mode the SPX1000 receives input via the analog INPUT L and R jacks. The DIGITAL IN and OUT jacks function as a post-effect insert point, allowing a second SPX1000 or other Yamaha-format digital device to be inserted into the signal path after the effect processor. Output is delivered via the analog OUTPUT L and R jacks. DIGITAL(DIGlTAL ONLY) 4. Press and hold the UTILITY key until its indicator goes out and the utility mode is exited. DIGITAL I/O MODES The SPX1000 has the following DIGITAL I/O modes which determine the operation of its analog and digital inputs and outputs. ANALOG In this mode the analog INPUT L and R jacks are inactive and the SPX1000 receives input via the DIGITAL IN connector. Both the analog OUTPUT L and R and DIGITAL OUT connectors are active so that the SPX1000’s output can be simultaneously fed to analog and digital equipment if required. Selecting a DIGITAL l/O Mode In this mode the DIGITAL IN connector is inactive and the SPX1000 receives input via the analog INPUT L and R jacks. Both the analog OUTPUT L and R and DIGITAL OUT connectors are active so that the SPX1000’s output can be simultaneously fed to analog and digital equipment if required. PRE(lNSERT PRE) In this mode the SPX1000 receives input via the analog INPUT L and R jacks. The DIGITAL IN and OUT jacks function as a pre-effect insert point, allowing a second SPX1000 or other Yamaha-format digital device to be inserted into the signal path prior to both the input selector and effect processor. Output is delivered via the analog OUTPUT L and R jacks. POST(INSERT POST) DIGITAL I/O modes are selected using the utility-mode A/D I/O MODE function. 1. Press the UTILITY key three times to call the A/D I/O MODE function. This function has two parameters: MODE and CLK (clock). The MODE parameter can be set to any of the four DIGITAL I/O modes described above: ANA (Analog), PRE, PST (Post), or DIG (Digital). When the DIG, PRE or PST mode is selected, the CLK parameter can be set to INT (Internal) or EXT (External), determining whether the digital clock signal is derived from the SPX1000’s own internal clock generator (INT) or the clock signal included in the digital input signal received via the DIGITAL IN connector (EXT). When the ANA mode is selected the CLK parameter is fixed at INT. 2. Use the parameter select and keys to select the desired DIGITAL I/O MODE. The name of the selected mode should now be flashing on the LCD. 3. If necessary, press the PARAM key to move the underline cursor to the CLK parameter and use the parameter select and keys to select the desired CLK setting. The SCROLL BACK key can be used to move the underline cursor back to the MODE parameter if necessary. 4. Press the STORE key to activate the selected DIGITAL I/O mode and CLK setting. The name of the selected mode will stop flashing and the corresponding DIGITAL I/O indicator LED will light (INSERT PRE, INSERT POST or DIGITAL ONLY). None of the DIGITAL I/O indicators will light if the ANA mode is selected. 7 5. Press and hold the UTILITY key until its indicator goes out and the utility mode is exited. CAUTION! When the SPX1000 clock (CLK) mode is switched from internal (INT) to external (EXT), or vice-versa, a noise pulse may appear at the outputs. This also occurs if the SPX1000 is switched from digital to analog input while CLK is set to EXT (CLK is automatically reset to INT in this case). Be sure to lower the volume level of equipment connected to the SPX1000 outputs when performing any of above operations. 8 3: GENERAL OPERATION SELECTING AN EFFECT/MEMORY LOCATION 1. Effects and memory locations can only be selected when the utility mode is not active (the UTILITY KEY indicator is not lit). If the UTILITY key indicator is lit, press and hold the UTILITY key until its indicator goes out and the utility mode is exited. 2. Press the program select or key to increment or decrement the memory location number shown on the LED display. Hold either of these keys down for continuous incrementing or decrementing. The name of the program corresponding to the currently selected memory location will be shown on the LCD, or "*** NO DATA ***" will be displayed if a memory location between 41 and 99 is selected into which an edited effect program has not been stored. Note that at this stage the LED memory number display is flashing, indicating that although a new location has been selected, its contents have not yet been recalled. 3. When the desired memory location/effect has been selected, press the RECALL key. The LED memory number display will stop flashing and the selected effect will be engaged. ACCESSING & EDITING THE PROGRAM PARAMETERS Each SPX1000 program has 4 different groups of parameters which are accessed by pressing the corresponding parameter select keys: KEY PARAM ACCESSES The main effect parameters for each program. These parameters will vary according the type of program. LEVEL The BALANCE and OUT LVL parameters for each program. EQ The equalization or dynamic filter parameters for each program. INT. PARAM. Special "fine control" parameters for each program. These parameters will vary according to the type of program. To call a specific group of parameters for the currently selected effect program, press the appropriate parameter select key. The next parameter within the group is called each time the parameter select key for that group is pressed. In any parameter group, the SCROLL BACK key can be used to scroll backwards through the parameters. For example, subsequent presses on the LEVEL parameter select key call the following parameters: BALANCE -> OUT LVL -> BALANCE -> etc. - blink - The complete procedure for calling and editing parameters is: 1. Select and recall the program to be edited. 2. Press the parameter select key corresponding to the group of parameters to be edited (PARAM, LEVEL, EQ or INT PARAM) and the first of the selected group's parameters will appear on the bottom line of the LCD. BYPASSING THE EFFECT There are two ways to switch the selected effect in and out: 1) with the control panel BYPASS switch and 2) with a footswitch connected to the connector-panel BYPASS footswitch jack. An optional Yamaha FC5 Footswitch can be used for foot-bypass control. In either case + when the control-panel BYPASS key or BYPASS footswitch is pressed + the LED in the BYPASS key will light to indicate that the selected program is currently being bypassed and the input signal is directly routed to the output terminals (i.e. the effect is OFF). Press the BYPASS key or footswitch a second time to turn off the BYPASS Key LED and turn the effect back ON. 3. Once the desired parameter has been called, its value can be edited using the parameter and keys. The key increases (increments) the value while the key decreases (decrements) the value. Either key can be held down for continuous incrementing or decrementing. While holding down either the or key, pressing the other key ( or ) causes the incrementing or decrementing process to be carried out more rapidly. 9 3. Press the STORE key to store the edited effect in the selected memory location. The title of the effect stored will appear on the LCD (this may later be edited to create your own effect title using the UTILITY mode TITLE EDIT function described on page 31). The LED memory number display will stop flashing and the stored memory location will become the active effect. NOTE: You CANNOT store edited data to memory locations 1 through 40. If you attempt to do this the LCD will show “*** READ ONLY ***”. NOTE: In this way you can go through and edit any number of the parameters to create the required effect. If, however, you select and recall a new program without first storing your edited parameters in a memory location between 41 and 99, any changes you have made will be lost and will have to be re-programmed. If you want to keep an edited program, use the STORE operation described below. STORING EFFECTS In order to store an edited effect for later recall you need to do the following: 1. Make sure that the SPX1000 MEMORY PROTECT function is OFF. Press the UTILITY key a few times until the MEMORY PROTECT function appears. If it is ON, press the parameter key to turn it OFF. Press and hold the UTILITY key until its indicator goes out and the utility mode is exited. 2. After editing the effect. select a memory location between 41 and 99 by using the program select and keys. Do not recall the selected memory location. If an edited program has previously be stored in the selected memory location. its title will be displayed on the LCD. 10 Once an effect has been stored in a memory location between 41 and 99, its parameters can be further edited in the new memory location. Such changes will be lost if a different effect is selected and recalled, however, unless the STORE function is used to store the changes. Changes may be stored to the current memory location number (41 – 99) simply by pressing the STORE key. EXTERNAL CONTROL ASSIGNMENT The SPX1000 allows two different parameters of a selected effect to be controlled by optional foot controllers (Yamaha FC7) connected to the front-panel EXT CTRL/FOOT VOL1 and 2 jacks. The EXT CTRL ASSIGN key is used to assign the desired effect parameters to the foot controllers used, and to set the required control range. External control assignments made for an effect program can be stored in the user memory area (41 – 99) along with the effect (using the STORE function described above), so that the assignments made are recalled whenever that memory location is selected. 1. Select the desired effect program. 2. Select the parameter to be assigned to an external foot controller (PARAM, LEVEL, EQ or INT PARAM parameters can be assigned). 3. Press the EXT CTRL ASSIGN key. The name of the selected effect program will remain on the upper line of the LCD, and one of the following parameters will appear on the lower line: 6. Use the “MIN” and “MAX” parameters for the appropriate controller to set the control range. If the parameter to be controlled has a range of 0 to 100%, for example, setting the MIN parameter to 20 and the MAX parameter to 80 will allow the foot controller to vary the selected parameter from 20% to 80% of its total range. NOTE: Either or both controllers may be assigned. When both controllers are used, each can be assigned a different parameter within the selected effect program. NOTE: External control assignments will be lost if a different memory location is selected without first storing the assigned effect program into one of the user memory locations (41 — 99) using the STORE function.. NOTE: MIDI control change messages received via the MIDI IN connector can also be used to control assigned parameters. See “MIDI CTRL ASSIGN” on page 63. CAUTION! When setting the range and storing it in the program, always make sure the preset values for the assigned parameters are included within the set range. When setting the range, confirm the values for MIN and MAX with the controller, and always make sure the preset values are inside the externally set values. If the preset values are outside the specified range, there may be no response to the controller when a recall operation is carried out. In the actual display, “XXXXXXXX” will be the name of the default parameter for the selected effect program. The EXT CTRL ASSIGN key can be used to scroll forward through the above parameters, and the SCROLL BACK key can be used to scroll backwards. 4. To assign the selected parameter to the EXT CTRL/FOOT VOL 1 or EXT CTRL/FOOT VOL 2 controller, use the EXT CTRL ASSIGN or SCROLL BACK key to call the “FVOL1 XXXXXXXX” or “FVOL2 XXXXXXXX” parameter. 5. Press either the parameter or key and the parameter you called within the selected effect program will be assigned to the foot controller indicated on the display (FVOL 1 or FVOL 2). 11 4: THE PROGRAMS & PARAMETERS PARAMETERS PROVIDED FOR ALL PROGRAMS LEVEL PARAMETERS (Accessed via LEVEL key) Effect/Direct Signal Balance (BALANCE): 0 – 100% This parameter adjusts the balance between the direct sound and effect signals. At 100% only the effect sound is delivered from the SPX1000 outputs, while at 0% only the direct sound is output. At a setting of 50%, the direct and effect sounds are output in approximately equal proportions. Low EQ Frequency (LOW FRQ): 32 Hz – 2.2 kHz High EQ Frequency (HIGH FRQ): 500 Hz – 16 kHz These parameters determine the center frequency for equalization in the corresponding band. In the shelving mode, these parameters represent the turn over frequency rather than the center frequencies. Low EQ Gain (LOW GAIN): -15 – + 15 dB High EQ Gain (HIGH GAIN): -15 – + 15 dB These parameters determine the amount of boost or cut applied to the corresponding EQ band. Effect Output Level (OUT LVL): 0 – 200% This parameter sets the overall output level of the effect program. This is particularly handy for matching levels between different effects. 2-CHANNEL PROGRAM (PROGRAMS 31 – 35) LEVEL PARAMETERS The level parameters available for the 2-channel programs (programs 3 1 – 35) are the same as those for the other programs, except that separate parameters are provided for the left and right channels. BALANCE 1 = 1 (Left)-channel Balance BALANCE 2 = 2 (Right)-channel Balance OUT LVL 1 = 1 (Left)-channel Output Level OUT LVL 2 = 2 (Right)-channel Output Level EQ PARAMETERS (Accessed via EQ key) When the EQ key is pressed, you are presented with three choices: “OFF” (the default setting), “EQ” (2-band parametric equalizer mode), or “D.FLT” (Dynamic Filter mode). Use the parameter and keys to select the desired mode of operation. The EQ mode provides 2-band parametric equalization, while the Dynamic Filter mode provides a filter which can be automatically swept across a specified frequency range by the SPX1000’s internal low frequency oscillator or the level of the input signal. Low EQ Bandwidth (LOW Q): 0.1 – 5.0 (PEAK mode only) High EQ Bandwidth (HI Q): 0.1 – 5.0 (PEAK mode only) These parameters determine the bandwidth of the corresponding EQ band. A setting of 5.0 produces the narrowest bandwidth (sharpest response), and the minimum setting of 0.1 produces the widest bandwidth (broadest response). Note that the “Q” parameters for the low and high bands only function when the corresponding band is set to the PEAK mode. PARAMETERS AVAILABLE IN THE “EQ" MODE Low EQ Peaking or Shelving Response (LOW EQ.): PEAK, SHLV High EQ Peaking or Shelving Response (HIGH EQ): PEAK, SHLV These parameters determine whether the corresponding band has a peaking or shelving filter response. 12 PARAMETERS AVAILABLE IN THE “D.FLT” MODE Control Type (CTL TYPE): LFO, LEVEL Determines whether the sweep of the dynamic filter is controlled by the SPX1000’s LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) or the level of the input signal to analog trigger. Filter Type (FLT TYPE): LPF, HPF, BPF, PEQ Filter Shift Direction (SHIFT): UP, DOWN Determines the response of the dynamic filter: Determines which direction the dynamic filter will sweep in from the starting point. LPF = Low Pass Filter HPF = High Pass Filter BPF = Band Pass Filter PEQ = Parametric EQ Filter Sensitivity (SENSITIVITY): 1 – 10 Adjusts the sensitivity of the dynamic filter. Higher settings create a greater degree of sweep for the same change in input level (LEVEL control type). Filter Decay (DECAY): 1 – 10 Determines the speed at which the dynamic filter will return to the starting frequency after activation. Low Frequency Oscillator Frequency (LFO FRQ): 0.1 – 10.0 Hz Sets the LFO frequency and thus the speed of dynamic filter sweep when the LFO control type is selected. 2-CHANNEL PROGRAM (PROGRAMS 31 – 35) EQ PARAMETERS The EQ parameters for the 2-channel programs (programs 31 – 35) are the same as for the other programs, except that separate EQ parameters are provided for the left and right channels when the “EQ” mode is selected. L LOW EQ = Left-channel Low EQ L LOW F = Left-channel Low Frequency L LOW G = Left-channel Low Gain L LOW Q = Left-channel Low Bandwidth L HI EQ = Left-channel High EQ L HI F = Left-channel High Frequency L HI G - Left-channel High Gain L HI Q = Left-channel High Bandwidth R LOW EQ = Right-channel Low EQ R LOW F = Right-channel Low Frequency R LOW G = Right-channel Low Gain R LOW Q = Right-channel Low Bandwidth R HI EQ = Right-channel High EQ R HI F = Right-channel High Frequency R HI G - Right-channel High Gain R HI Q = Right-channel High Bandwidth REVERB PROGRAMS Center Frequency (F CENTER): 32 Hz – 16 kHz Sets the starting center frequency of the dynamic filter. Frequency Depth (F DEPTH): 0 – 8 octaves Determines the maximum sweep range of the dynamic filter. Filter Gain (GAIN): -18, -12, -6, 6, 12, 18 dB (when FLT TYPE = PEQ only) Determines the gain of the dynamic filter when the PEQ filter type is selected. Minus values create a notch response while positive values create a peaking response. Bandwidth (Q): LOW, HIGH Sets the bandwidth of the dynamic filter. 1. REV1 2. REV2 3. REV3 4. REV4 5. REV5 HALL ROOM VOCAL PLATE ECHO ROOM Reverberation is the warm musical “ambience” you experience when listening to music in a hall or other properlydesigned acoustic environment. The SPX1000 offers several different reverb effects, simulating types of reverberation you would experience in a hall (REV 1 HALL), in a smaller room (REV 2 ROOM), a reverb effect ideally suited to vocals (REV 3 VOCAL), the type of reverberation produced artificially by 13 a plate reverberator (REV 4 PLATE), and a special echo room (REV 5 ECHO ROOM) in which you have extensive control over the room’s dimensions and other parameters. PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY (Except 5. REV5 ECHO ROOM) Reverb Time (REV TIME): 0.3 – 480 seconds (1 REV1 HALL, 3 REV3 VOCAL) 0.1 –480 seconds (2 REV2 ROOM, 4 REV4 PLATE) The length of time it takes for the level of reverberation at 1 kHz to decrease by 60 dB + virtually to silence. In a live setting, this depends on several factors: room size, room shape, type of reflective surfaces, and others. High Frequency Reverb Time Ratio (HIGH): 0.1 – 1.0 Natural reverberation varies according to the frequency of the sound. The higher the frequency, the more sound tends to be absorbed by walls, furnishings and even air. These two parameters allow alteration of the high-frequency and lowfrequency reverb times in relation to the overall reverb time. Diffusion (DIFFUSION): 0 – 10 The complexity of the many reflections that make up reverberation varies according to the shape of the room and its contents. In the SPX1000 the term “diffusion” refers to the complexity of these reflections. If the DIFFUSION parameter is set to “0,” minimum complexity and therefore a clearer, more straightforward reverb effect is produced. As the DIFFUSION value is increased, the complexity of the reflections increases producing a thicker, richer sound. Initial Delay (INI DLY): 0.1 – 1000 milliseconds This represents the time delay between the direct sound of an instrument in a concert hall and the first of the many reflections that make up reverberation. High-pass Filter Frequency (HPF FRQ): THRU, 32 Hz – 1 kHz Permits rolling off the low-frequency content of the reverb signal above the set frequency. The HPF is OFF when set to THRU. Low-pass Filter Frequency (LPF FRQ): 1 – 16 kHz, THRU Permits rolling off the high-frequency content of the reverb signal above the set frequency. The LPF is OFF when set to THRU. 5. REV5 ECHO ROOM Reverb Time (REV TIME): 0.3 – 480 seconds The length of time it takes for the level of reverberation at 1 kHz to decrease by 60 dB + virtually to silence. In a live setting, this depends on several factors: room size, room shape, type of reflective surfaces, and others. Room Width (WIDTH): 0.5 – 100.0 meters Room Height (HEIGHT): 0.5 – 100.0 meters Room Depth (DEPTH): 0.5 – 100.0 meters These parameters make it possible to specify the main dimensions of the echo room in meters. Basically, the larger the dimensions of the room the longer the reverb sound. Wall Variance (WALL VARY): 0 – 30 Irregularity factor refers to the relationship of the wall surfaces in the echo room. At a setting of 1 all walls are parallel. Higher settings increase the angles between the wall surfaces, causing a distinct change in the reverb sound. Listening Position (LIS. POSI.): FRONT, CENT., REAR Allows position the “listener” to the front, center or rear of the echo room in relation to the source sound. High Frequency Reverb Time Ratio (HIGH): 0.1 – 1.0 Natural reverberation varies according to the frequency of the sound. The higher the frequency, the more sound tends to be absorbed by walls, furnishings and even air. These two parameters allow alteration of the high-frequency and lowfrequency reverb times in relation to the overall reverb time. Diffusion (DIFFUSION): 0 – 10 The complexity of the many reflections that make up reverberation varies according to the shape of the room and its contents. In the SPX1000 the term “diffusion” refers to the complexity of these reflections. If the DIFFUSION parameter is set to “0,” minimum complexity and therefore a clearer, more straightforward reverb effect is produced. As the DIFFUSION value is increased, the complexity of the reflections increases producing a thicker, richer sound. Initial Delay (INI DLY): 0.1 – 1000 milliseconds This represents the time delay between the direct sound of an instrument in a concert hall and the first of the many reflections that make up reverberation. High-pass Filter Frequency (HPF FRQ): THRU, 32 Hz – 1 kHz Low-pass Filter Frequency (LPF): 1 – 16 kHz, THRU Same as other reverbs. 14 Width fine: -100 – +100 Density (DENSITY): 0 – 4 This sets the value specified with WIDTH as the reference value (0) and is the parameter for fine adjustment. This parameter determines the density of the reverb reflections (i.e. the average amount of time between reflections). A setting of 1 produces minimum reverb density for a more spacious sound, while a setting of 4 produces the most dense, “tightest” reverberation. Height Fine: -100 – +100 This sets the value specified with HEIGHT as the reference value (0) and is the parameter for further fine adjustment. Trigger Level (TRG. LEVEL): 0 – 100% Depth Fine: -100 – +100 This sets the value specified with DEPTH as the reference value (0) and is the parameter for further fine adjustment. Determines the level of the input signal required to trigger “opening” of the reverb program gate. At 100% only very high-level input signals will trigger the gate, while at 1% even the tiniest input signal will trigger the gate. Wall Vary Fine (W. VARY FINE): -100 – +100 This sets each of the value specified with WIDTH, HEIGHT, DEPTH, and WALL VARY as the reference value (0) and is the parameter for further fine adjustment. Trigger Delay (TRG. DLY): -100 – +100 milliseconds Produces a delay between the time at which the gate is triggered and that at which it actually opens. W. Decay: RT x 0.1 – 1.0 Hold Time (HOLD): 1 – 24,000 milliseconds Among the REV components, this sets the reverberation time of the REV components specified with WIDTH to a multiplier value corresponding to the REV TIME. It simulates the acoustic properties of the side walls. Determines how long the gate stays open, allowing the signal to pass. H. Decay: RT x 0.1 – 1.0 D. Decay: RT x 0.1 – 1.0 Release Time (RELEASE): 3 – 24,000 milliseconds Determines how long it takes for the gate to close fully after the HOLD TIME has ended. In the same way as for W. Decay, this sets a multiplier value corresponding to REV TIME for reverberation time felt in relation to the HEIGHT (vertical direction) in the height direction and that felt for the DEPTH in the front-to-back direction. It also simulates the acoustic properties of the walls in the vertical and front-to-back disrections. Analog Trigger Level (A. TRG LVL): 0 – 100 PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM KEY Early Reflection/Reverb Balance (ER/REV BAL.): 0 – 100% This parameter determines the level balance between the early-reflection portion and final reverberation portion of the reverb sound. At 100% only the early-reflection sound will be produced. At 0% only the final reverberation sound will be produced. A setting of about 50% produces both the earlyreflection and final reverberation sounds at equal level. Reverb Delay (REV DLY): 0.1 – 300.0 milliseconds Sets the delay between the beginning of the early reflections – the initial group of sparse reflections that precede the dense reverb sound – and the beginning of the reverb sound. When an analog signal applied to the rear-panel TRIGGER 2 ANALOG jack is used to trigger the gate, this parameter determines the level of the input signal required to trigger “opening” of the reverb program gate. At 100% only very high-level input signals will trigger the gate, while at 1% even the tiniest input signal will trigger the gate. When this function is used the TRG. LEVEL parameter should be set to the highest value (100%) so that only signals applied to the TRIGGER 2 ANALOG jack will activate the gate. MIDI Trigger (MIDI TRG.): OFF, ON When this parameter is turned ON, a KEY ON EVENT message from an external MIDI keyboard can be used to trigger the gate. A KEY ON EVENT message is transmitted whenever a note on a MIDI keyboard is played. NOTE: This effect can also be triggered by the front-panel TRIGGER key or a footswitch plugged into the rear-panel TRIGGER 1 SW jack. 15 EARLY REFLECTION PROGRAMS 6. EARLY REF. 1 7. EARLY REF. 2 8. EARLY REF. 3 9. GATE REVERB 10. REVERSE GATE These effects are created using different groupings of “early reflections” – the first cluster of reflections that occurs after the direct sound but before the dense reflections that are known as reverberation begin. PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY Early Reflection Pattern Type (TYPE): EARLY REF. 1 & 2: S-HALL, L-HALL, RANDOM, REVERSE, PLATE, SPRING EARLY REF. 3: USER-A, USER-B, USER-C, USER-D GATE REVERB & REVERSE GATE: TYPE A, TYPE B In the EARLY REF. 1 and EARLY REF. 2 programs the TYPE parameter selects one of six different patterns of early reflections. S-HALL produces a typical grouping of early reflections that would occur in a performing environment such as a small hall. L-HALL simulates the early reflection pattern of a larger hall. RANDOM produces an irregular series of reflections that could not occur naturally. REVERSE generates a series of reflections that increase in level – like the effect produced by playing a recorded reverberation sound backwards. PLATE produces a typical grouping of reflections that would occur in a plate reverb unit, and SPRING produces the same for spring type reverb unit. In the EARLY REF. 3 program the TYPE parameter selects one of the four user-programmed early reflection patterns: USER-A, USER-B, USER-C or USER-D. The USER early reflection patterns are programmed using the utility-mode “USER ER EDIT” function (see “USER ER EDIT” on page 31 for details). In the GATE REVERB and REVERSE GATE programs the TYPE parameter selects either TYPE-A or TYPE-B. Room Size (ROOM SIZE): 0.1 – 25 This parameter sets the time intervals between the early reflections + a feature of natural early reflections which is directly proportional to the size of the room. Liveness (LIVENESS): 0 – 10 “Liveness” refers to the rate at which the reflected sounds fade. An acoustically “dead” room is simulated by setting this parameter to zero. Increasing the value of this parameter creates an increasingly “live” sound, simulating an increasing area of reflective surfaces in the room. 16 Diffusion (DIFFUSION): 0 – 10 The complexity of the many reflections that make up reverberation varies according to the shape of the room and its contents. In the SPX1000 the term “diffusion” refers to the complexity of these reflections. If the DIFFUSION parameter is set to “0,” minimum complexity and therefore a clearer, more straightforward early reflection effect is produced. As the DIFFUSION value is increased, the complexity of the reflections increases producing a thicker, richer sound. Initial Delay (INI DLY): 0.1 – 1000 milliseconds Initial delay is the time between the beginning of the direct sound and the beginning of the early reflections. High-pass Filter Frequency (HPF FRQ): THRU, 32 Hz – 1 kHz Permits rolling off the low-frequency content of the reverb signal above the set frequency. The HPF is OFF when set to THRU. Low-pass Filter Frequency (LPF FRQ): 1 – 16 kHz, THRU Permits rolling off the high-frequency content of the reverb signal above the set frequency. The LPF is OFF when set to THRU. PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM KEY Number of Early Reflections (ER NUMBER): 1 – 19 This parameter directly sets the number of early reflections produced from 1 to 19. Feedback Delay (FB DELAY): 0.1 – 26000 milliseconds Feedback Gain (FB GAIN): -99 – +99% Feedback High-frequency Ratio (FB HIGH): 0.1 – 1.0 The feedback parameters permit thickening and/or extending the early reflection sound. Feedback causes the early reflections to generate more early reflections of themselves, thus the FB GAIN parameter determines how many times (for how long) the early reflections are repeated. The FB DELAY parameter sets a delay time between the beginning of the original early-reflections and the first of the repeats caused by feedback. Shorter FB DELAY times simply thicken the earlyreflection sound, while longer FB DELAY times can create extended or repeated early reflection effects. FB HIGH determines how much of the high-frequency content of the original early reflections is fed back. The lower the setting, the less of the original high frequencies are fed back. This causes a gradual decrease in high frequency content at each repeat. Density (DENSITY): EARLYREF.2: 1 – 3 EARLY REF. 3, GATE REVERB, REVERSE GATE: 0—3 Please note that the DENSITY parameter is not provided in the EARLY REF. 1 program. This parameter determines the density of the reverb reflections (i.e. the average amount of time between reflections). A setting of 0 or 1 produces minimum reverb density for a more spacious sound, while a setting of 3 produces the most dense, “tightest” reverberation. Feedback 1 Gain (FB1 GAIN): -99% – +99% Feedback 2 Gain (FB2 GAIN): -99% – +99% Set the amount of delay signal fed back to the input of the processor. The higher the feedback gain setting, the greater the number of delayed repeats produced by the corresponding feedback loop. High Frequency Feedback (HIGH): x0.1 – x1.0 Controls feedback in the high-frequency range. The highfrequency feedback is reduced as the value of this parameter is decreased. DELAY PROGRAM 11. DELAY L,C,R This sophisticated delay effect offers independently variable left, right and center channel delays. PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY Left Channel Delay (Lch DLY): 0.1 – 5200 milliseconds Right Channel Delay (Rch DLY): 0.1 – 5200 milliseconds Center Channel Delay (Cch DLY): 0.1 – 5200 milliseconds These parameters individually set the time between the direct sound of the instrument and the first repeat heard from the left, right and center channels. Center Channel Level (Cch LVL): -200 – +200% Adjusts the level of the center-channel delay signal. PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM KEY High-pass Filter Frequency (HPF FRQ): THRU, 32 Hz –1kHz Permits rolling off the low-frequency content of the reverb signal above the set frequency. The HPF is OFF when set to THRU. Low-pass Filter Frequency (LPF FRQ): 1 – 16 kHz, THRU Permits rolling off the high-frequency content of the reverb signal above the set frequency. The LPF is OFF when set to THRU. Feedback 1 Delay (FB1 DLY): 0.1 – 5200 milliseconds Feedback 2 Delay (FB2 DLY): 0.1 – 5200 milliseconds Two separate feedback loops are provided in the delay program, and these parameters determine the amount of delay applied to each feedback signal. ECHO PROGRAM 12. STEREO ECHO The stereo echo effect offers independently variable left and right channel initial delays and echo intervals. PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY Left Channel Feedback Delay (LFB DLY): 0.1 – 2600 milliseconds Right Channel Feedback Delay (RFB DLY): 0.1 – 26000 milliseconds 17 After the initial delay produced by the INI DLY parameters, the time between subsequent repeats is determined by the left and right channel interval parameters. The stereo flange effects produce a pleasant "swirling" sound which can effectively thicken and add warmth to the sound of an instrument. The flanging effect is produced by varying the delay between two identical signals, thus producing a complex varying "comb filter" effect. Phasing is basically a "gentler" version of the flange effect, lending a smooth, animated quality to the original sound. The tremolo effect is produced in the same way as the flange effect, but has a "bigger," more sweeping sound. The symphonic effect adds richness and life to the sound. PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY Left Channel Feedback Gain (Lch F.B): -99% — +99% Right Channel Feedback Gain (Rch F.B): -99% — +99% Individually set the amount of the left or right channel delay signal fed back to the input of the processor. The higher the feedback gain setting, the greater the number of delayed repeats produced for the corresponding channel. High Frequency Feedback (HIGH): x0.1 — x1.0 Controls feedback in the high-frequency range. The highfrequency feedback is reduced as the value of this parameter is decreased. PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM KEY Left Channel Initial (L INI DLY): 0.1— 2600 milliseconds Right Channel Initial (R INI DLY): 0.1— 2600 milliseconds These parameters individually set the time between the direct sound of the instrument and the first repeat heard from the left and right channels. High-pass Filter Frequency (HPF FRQ): THRU, 32 Hz —1.0 kHz Permits rolling off the low-frequency content of the reverb signal above the set frequency. The HPF is OFF when set to THRU. Low-pass Filter Frequency (LPF FRQ): 1 — 16 kHz, THRU Permits rolling off the high-frequency content of the reverb signal above the set frequency. The LPF is OFF when set to THRU. MODULATION PROGRAMS 13. STEREO FLANGE A 14. STEREO FLANGE B 15.CHORUS 16. STEREO PHASING 17. TREMOLO 18. SYMPHONIC 18 Please note that STEREO PHASING does not have the F.B GAIN parameter listed below, while TREMOLO and SYMPHONIC have only the MOD FRQ and MOD DEPTH parameters. Modulation Frequency (MOD. FRQ): 0.05 Hz — 40 Hz Sets the speed of modulation, and hence the rate at which the effect varies. Modulation Depth (1, 2) (MOD. DEPTH): 0% — 100% Sets the amount of delay time variation, thus adjusting the depth of the effect. Modulation Delay (1, 2) (MOD. DLY): 0.1— 100 milliseconds This sets the basic delay time from the initial direct sound to the beginning of the flange effect. Feedback Gain (F.B. GAIN): 0% — 99% Determines the amount of flange signal which is fed back to the input of the processor for further modulation. More feedback increases the overall complexity, "strength" and decay time of the effect. Phase (PHASE): -180.0 deg — +180.0deg (14. STEREO FLANGE B) Sets the phase between MOD. DLY1 and 2. Delay Time Modulation Depth (DM DEPTH): 0% — 100% (15. CHORUS) Sets the amount of the width of the shaking between L and R channel. Amplitude Modulation Depth (AM DEPTH): 0% — 100% (15. CHORUS) Sets the amount of the width of amplitude variation. PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM KEY High-pass Filter Frequency (HPF FRQ): THRU, 32 Hz – 1.0 kHz Permits rolling off the low-frequency content of the reverb signal above the set frequency. The HPF is OFF when set to THRU. Low-pass Filter Frequency (LPF FRQ): 1 – 16 kHz, THRU Permits rolling off the high-frequency content of the reverb signal above the set frequency. The LPF is OFF when set to THRU. NOISE GATE 19. ADR-NOISE GATE This program uses a “gate” to pass or shut off the input signal in a number of ways. It can be used to pass just a short segment of a longer input signal, or it can be set up to pass only signals that exceed a specified level. In the latter case this program functions as a “noise gate.” It is also possible to create reverse gate type effects in which the gain increases gradually after the effect is triggered. PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY Trigger Level (TRG. LEVEL): 0 – 100% Hold Time (HOLD): 1 – 24000 milliseconds Determines how long the gate stays open, allowing the signal to pass at the DECAY LEVEL, after the first decay and prior to beginning of the RELEASE TIME. Release Time (RELEASE): 3 – 24000 milliseconds Determines how long it takes for the gate to close fully after the HOLD TIME has ended. Analog Trigger Level (A. TRG LVL): 0 – 100% When an analog signal applied to the rear-panel TRIGGER 2 ANALOG jack is used to trigger the gate, this parameter determines the level of the input signal required to trigger “opening” of the gate. At 100% only very high-level input signals will trigger the gate, while at 1% even the tiniest input signal will trigger the gate. When this function is used the TRG. LEVEL parameter should be set to the highest value (100%) so that only signals applied to the TRIGGER 2 ANALOG jack will activate the gate. MIDI Trigger (MIDI TRG.): OFF, ON When this parameter is turned ON, a KEY ON EVENT message from an external MIDI keyboard can be used to trigger the gate. A KEY ON EVENT message is transmitted whenever a note on a MIDI keyboard is played. NOTE: This effect can also be triggered by the front-panel TRIGGER key or a footswitch plugged into the rear-panel TRIGGER 1 SW jack. Determines the level of the input signal required to trigger “opening” of the gate. At 100% only very high-level input signals will trigger the gate, while at 0% even the tiniest input signal will trigger the gate. Trigger Delay (TRG. DLY): -100 – +100 milliseconds Produces a delay between the time at which the gate is triggered and that at which it actually opens. If a minus value is programmed, the input signal is delayed so that, effectively, the gate opens before the signal appears. Trigger Mask (TRG. MSK): 3 – 24000 milliseconds This parameter makes it impossible to re-trigger the gate function until the programmed time has elapsed. PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM KEY Attack Time (ATTACK): 3 – 24000 milliseconds Determines how long it takes for the gate to open fully from the time it begins to open. Decay Time (DECAY): 3 – 24000 milliseconds Determines the length of time it takes for the gate envelope to fall to DECAY LEVEL after it is fully open. Decay Level (DECAY LVL): 0 – 100% Determines the level at which the gate remains open for the HOLD TIME. The lower the value, the lower the HOLD gate level. High-Pass Filter Frequency (HPF FRQ): THRU, 32 Hz – 1.0 kHz Low-Pass Filter Frequency (LPF FRQ): 1 – 16 kHz, THRU PITCH CHANGE TYPE PROGRAMS 20. PITCH CHANGE 1 2 1 . PITCH CHANGE 2 22. PITCH CHANGE 3 39. STEREO PITCH 19 PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY 20. PITCH CHANGE 1 PITCH CHANGE 1 makes it possible to produce two independently pitch-shifted output notes in addition to the direct signal, so you can create three-part harmonies with a single input note. Both pitch-shifted notes appear at the center of the stereo sound field. 1st Pitch Shift (1 PITCH): -24 – +24 2nd Pitch Shift (2 PITCH): -24 – +24 Set the pitch of the first or second pitch-shifted note between two octaves below (-24) and two octaves above (+24) the input note. 1st Fine Tuning (1 FINE): -100 – +100 2nd Fine Tuning (2 FINE): -100 – +100 Permit fine tuning of the first or second pitch-shifted note in l-cent steps. 1st Delay Time (1 DLY): 0.1 – 2300 milliseconds 2nd Delay Time (2 DLY): 0.1 – 2300 milliseconds Determines the time delay between input of the original note and output of the first or second pitch-shifted note. Left Pitch Shift (L PITCH): -24 – +24 Right Pitch Shift (R PITCH): -24 – +24 Set the pitch of the left or right channel pitch-shifted note between two octaves below (-24) and two octaves above (+24) the input note. Left Fine Tuning (L FINE): -100 – +100 Right Fine Tuning (R FINE): -100 – +100 Permit fine tuning of the left or right channel pitch-shifted note in l-cent steps. Left Delay Time (L DLY): 0.1 – 2300 milliseconds Right Delay Time (R DLY): 0.1 – 2300 milliseconds Determine the time delay between input of the original note and output of the left or right channel pitch-shifted note. Left Feedback Gain (L.F.B.): -99 – +99 Right Feedback Gain (R.F.B.): -99 – +99 When this parameter is set to 0, only a single pitch-shifted sound is produced after the DELAY time has elapsed. As the value of this parameter is increased, however, more and more delayed repeats are produced, each pitch-shifted up or down from the previous repeat according to the setting of the PITCH parameter. 1st Feedback Gain (1 F.B.): -99 – +99 2nd Feedback Gain (2 F.B.): -99 – +99 When this parameter is set to 0, only a single pitch-shifted sound is produced after the DELAY time has elapsed. As the value of this parameter is increased, however, more and more delayed repeats are produced, each pitch-shifted up or down from the previous repeat according to the setting of the PITCH parameter. 1st Level (1 LEVEL): 0 – 100% 2nd Level (2 LEVEL): 0 – 100% These parameters determine the levels of the first and second pitch-shifted notes. 22. PITCH CHANGE 3 PITCH CHANGE 3 offers the “thickest” and most complex sound by allowing the creation of three pitch-shifted notes in addition to the direct sound. 1st Pitch Shift (1 PITCH): -24 – +24 2nd Pitch Shift (2 PITCH): -24 – +24 3rd Pitch Shift (3 PITCH): -24 – +24 Set the pitch of the first, second or third pitch-shifted note between two octaves below (-24) and two octaves above (+24) the input note. 21. PITCH CHANGE 2 Like the PITCH CHANGE 1 program, PITCH CHANGE 2 produces 2 pitch-shifted notes in addition to the original input note. In this program, however, the two pitch-shifted notes are independently fed to the left and right channel outputs (the direct sound is positioned at the center of the stereo sound field) for a true stereo harmony effect. 20 1st Fine Tuning (1 FINE): -100 – +100 2nd Fine Tuning (2 FINE): -100 – +100 3rd Fine Tuning (3 FINE): -100 – +100 Permit fine tuning of the first, second or third pitch-shifted note in l-cent steps. 1st Delay Time (1 DLY): 0.1 – 4600 milliseconds 2nd Delay Time (2 DLY): 0.1 – 4600 milliseconds 3rd Delay Time (3 DLY): 0.1 – 4600 milliseconds Determines the time delay between input of the original note and output of the first, second or third pitch-shifted note. 1st Level (I LEVEL): 0 – 100% 2nd Level (2 LEVEL): 0 – 100% 3rd Level (3 LEVEL): 0 – 100% These parameters determine the levels of the first, second and third pitch-shifted notes. 39. STEREO PITCH The STEREO PITCH program produces a smooth pitch shift effect rather than an abrupt shift from note to note. The parameters affect both the left and right channels simultaneously. PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM KEY Base Key (BASE KEY): OFF, C1 – C6 This parameter sets the “BASE KEY” for an external MIDI synthesizer used to control the PITCH parameter (the MIDI OUT terminal of the synthesizer must be connected to the SPX1000 MIDI IN terminal, and the SPX1000 must be set to receive on the MIDI channel on which the synthesizer is transmitting). If, for example, the BASE KEY parameter is set to C4, pressing the C3 key on the synthesizer (C3 is one octave lower than C4) will set the pitch change value to -12. Pressing D4 on the keyboard would produce a pitch increase of one whole-tone (+2). When two keys are pressed, the highest note determines the pitch of the 1 PITCH or L PITCH sound, and the lower note determines the pitch of the 2 PITCH or R PITCH sound. With the STEREO PITCH program the last note pressed takes priority. If a key more than two octaves higher or lower than the BASE KEY is pressed, the resultant pitch change setting will still be within the -24 to +24 range, as shown in the illustration below. If the BASE KEY parameter is set OFF, pitch cannot be controlled via the MIDI IN terminal. FREEZE PROGRAMS Pitch Shift (PITCH): -24 – +24 Set the pitch of the pitch-shifted note between two octaves below (-24) and two octaves above (+24) the input note. Fine Tuning (PITCH FINE): -100 – +100 Permit fine tuning of the pitch-shifted note in l-cent steps. Delay Time (DELAY): 0.1 – 2300 milliseconds Determine the time delay between input of the original note and output of the pitch-shifted note. Feedback Gain (FB GAIN): -99 – +99 When this parameter is set to 0, only a single pitch-shifted sound is produced after the DELAY time has elapsed. As the value of this parameter is increased, however, more and more delayed repeats are produced, each pitch-shifted up or down from the previous repeat according to the setting of the PITCH parameter. 23. FREEZE 1 24. FREEZE 2 40. STEREO FREEZE The FREEZE programs allow sampling (digital recording) and playback of sounds received at the SPX1000’s inputs. The FREEZE 1 and FREEZE 2 programs permit sampling for a maximum of 5.8 seconds, while the STEREO FREEZE program allows sampling for a maximum of 2.9 seconds. The FREEZE 1 and FREEZE 2 programs differ only in the playback functions provided. PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY 23. FREEZE 1 The FREEZE 1 program allows single playback of the sampled sound, with adjustable start and end points. Record Mode (REC. MODE): MANUAL, AUTO Determines how sampling is to be triggered. If MANUAL is selected, sampling is initiated either by pressing the parameter key, the TRIGGER key, or a footswitch connected to the rear-panel TRIGGER 1 SW jack. If AUTO is selected, sampling is automatically triggered by any input signal of sufficient level. 21 Trigger Delay (TRG. DLY): -5800 – +1000 milliseconds This parameter sets a delay between triggering and actual initiation of the sampling process. If a negative value is specified, input signals are temporarily stored and the sound is sampled from the specified time before the trigger occurs. Overdub Ready (OVERDUB): RECORD (see above) is used to sample a new sound. OVERDUB is used to record a new sound over a previously recorded sound. Call the OVERDUB display and begin overdubbing by using either the MANUAL or AUTO method described above. The display changes to “ ” while overdubbing is in progress, and then to “OK” when overdubbing is complete. OVERDUB can be repeated as many times as necessary. The initially recorded and overdubbed sound can now be played back by pressing the TRIGGER key or a footswitch connected to the rear-panel TRIGGER 1 SW jack. Playback can also be triggered by an input signal of sufficient amplitude if the INPUT TRG parameter is on or by a signal applied to the rear-panel trigger 2 analog jack if the analog trg parameter is on (see PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM KEY). Pitched playback of the sampled sound is possible by transmitting MIDI note ON messages to the SPX1000’s MIDI IN connector from a MIDI keyboard or other device (e.g. play a key on the keyboard). Record Ready (RECORD): The RECORD display must be called before sampling can begin. With the RECORD display showing, press the parameter key and display will change to RECORD READY. Sampling can now be starting using either the MANUAL or AUTO method described above. The display changes to “- - - - - -” while sampling is in progress, and then to “OK” when sampling is complete. Any previous data in the freeze memory is erased when the RECORD function is executed. The sampled sound can now be played back by pressing the TRIGGER key or a footswitch connected to the rear-panel TRIGGER 1 SW jack. Playback can also be triggered by an input signal of sufficient amplitude if the INPUT TRG parameter is ON OR BY A SIGNAL APPLIED TO THE REAR-PANEL TRIGGER 2 ANALOG JACK IF THE ANALOG TRG PARAMETER IS ON (see PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM KEY). Pitched playback of the sampled sound is possible by transmitting MIDI note ON messages to the SPX1000’s MIDI IN connector from a MIDI keyboard or other device (e.g. play a key on the keyboard). 22 Playback Start Point (START): 0 – 5800 milliseconds Total sample time is 5800 milliseconds (5.8 seconds). This parameter determines at what point playback will begin when a trigger occurs. Playback End Point (END): 0 – 5800 milliseconds This parameter determines at what point playback will end. If the END point is set to a time earlier than the START point (above), the sampled sound will be played back in reverse. Playback Pitch (PITCH): -24 – +24 Determines the pitch of the playback sound in semitone increments. PITCH can be varied from two octaves below (-24) to two octaves above (+24) the original pitch of the sampled sound. 40. STEREO FREEZE STEREO FREEZE has the same parameters as the FREEZE 1 program, but has shorter TRG. DLY, START and END parameter ranges to allow independent sampling of left and right channel signals. Playback Pitch Fine Tuning (PITCH FINE): -100 – +100 Permits fine tuning of the playback pitch in one-cent increments (a cent is 1/100th of a semitone). 24. FREEZE 2 The FREEZE 2 program allows looped playback of the sampled sound. The REC. MODE, TRG. DLY, RECORD, OVERDUB, START, END, PITCH and PITCH FINE parameters of the FREEZE 2 program are exactly the same as those of the FREEZE 1 program. Only the following parameters are different. Playback Loop Point (LOOP): 0 – 5800 milliseconds As in the END parameter of FREEZE 1, this parameter sets the end point of the sampled sound, but in the FREEZE 2 program playback is immediately resumed from the START point as soon as the LOOP point is reached. The sampled sound will therefore play continuously as long as the trigger is held ON. TRG. DLY: -2900 – +1000 milliseconds START, END: 0 – 2900 milliseconds PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM KEY Please note that the FREEZE 2 program has only the BASE KEY internal parameter. Input Trigger (INPUT TRG): OFF, ON Determines whether playback can be triggered by an input signal of sufficient level. Analog Trigger (ANALOG TRG): OFF, ON Determines whether playback can be triggered by an analog signal applied to the rear-panel TRIGGER 2 ANALOG jack. Loop Fine Adjust (LOOP FINE): -200 – +200 This parameter allows fine adjustment of the LOOP end point, making it possible to create the smoothest transition between the LOOP and START points. Trigger Mask (TRG. MSK): 3 – 30000 milliseconds This parameter makes it impossible to re-trigger playback function until the programmed time has elapsed. Base Key (BASE KEY): OFF, C1 – C6 This parameter sets the “BASE KEY” for an external MIDI synthesizer used to control pitched playback of the sampled sound (the MIDI OUT terminal of the synthesizer must be connected to the SPX1000 MIDI IN terminal, and the SPX1000 must be set to receive on the MIDI channel on which the synthesizer is transmitting). If, for example, the BASE KEY parameter is set to C4, pressing the C3 key on the synthesizer (C3 is one octave lower than C4) will cause the sampled sound to play one octave lower than its normal pitch. If a key more than two octaves higher or lower than the BASE KEY is pressed, the resultant pitch change setting will still be within the -24 to +24 range, as shown in the illustration below. If the BASE KEY parameter is set OFF, pitch cannot be controlled via the MIDI IN terminal. PAN PROGRAMS 25. PAN 26. TRIGGERED PAN There are two Pan Programs: 23 PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY Trigger Mask (TRG. MSK): 3 – 24000 milliseconds This parameter makes it impossible to re-trigger the effect until the programmed time has elapsed. 25. PAN This is a very sophisticated pan program that allows creation of “rotary” pan in addition to straightforward pan effects. Attack Time (ATTACK): 3 – 24000 milliseconds Determines how rapidly the panning effect begins. Pan Type (TYPE): L R-TURN R, L R, L R, L-TURN, Determines the direction in which the sound sweeps across the stereo sound field. The L-TURN and R-TURN parameters produce a pan which seems to rotate toward and away from the listener in the specified direction. Panning Time (PANNING): 3 – 24000 milliseconds Determines how long it takes to complete the main portion of the pan. Release Time (RELEASE): 3 – 24000 milliseconds Determines the speed of the end of the pan. Pan Speed (PAN SPEED): 0.05 – 40 Hz Sets the speed of the PAN effect (i.e. how rapidly the signal sweeps from channel to channel). Pan Direction (DIRECTION): L R, L R Determines the direction in which the sound sweeps across the stereo sound field. Front/Rear Depth (F/R DEPTH): 0 – 100% When the L-TURN or R-TURN pan type is selected, this parameter sets the apparent depth of the sweep from front to rear. Left/Right Depth (L/R DEPTH): 0 – 100% Sets the “depth” of the pan sweep from left to right and right to left. Left/Right Channel Balance (L/R BALANCE): 0 – 100% Determines the maximum extent of the pan sweep. For example, a setting of 100% produce a full pan from the extreme left to right or vice versa, while a setting of 50% a pan that is more restricted in its width across the stereo sound field. Analog Trigger Level (A. TRG LEVEL): 0 – 100% When an analog signal applied to the rear-panel TRIGGER 2 ANALOG jack is used to trigger the pan effect, this parameter determines the level of the input signal required to trigger the effect. At 100% only very high-level input signals will trigger the effect, while at 1% even the tiniest input signal will trigger the effect. When this function is used the TRG. LEVEL parameter should be set to the highest value (100%) so that only signals applied to the TRIGGER 2 ANALOG jack will activate the effect. MIDI Trigger (MIDI TRG.): OFF, ON 26. TRIGGERED PAN When triggered, this program automatically pans the sound image between left and right or right and left in the stereo sound field – with programmable attack, pan and release rates. Trigger Level (TRG. LEVEL): 1 – 100% Determines the level of the input signal required to trigger the panning effect. At 100% only very high-level input signals will trigger the pan, while at 0% even the tiniest input signal will trigger the pan. Trigger Delay (TRG. DLY): -100 – +100 milliseconds Produces a delay between the time at which the effect is triggered and that at which it actually begins. If a minus value is programmed, the input signal is delayed so that, effectively, the effect begins before the signal appears. 24 When this parameter is turned ON, a KEY ON EVENT message from an external MIDI keyboard can be used to trigger the pan. A KEY ON EVENT message is transmitted whenever a note on a MIDI keyboard is played. NOTE: This effect can also be triggered by the front-panel TRIGGER key or a footswitch plugged into the rear-panel TRIGGER 1 SW jack. DISTORTION PROGRAM 27.DISTORTION The distortion program is capable of producing an extremely broad range of distortion sounds. In all cases the first parameter display allows turning each effect ON or OFF. Use the PARAM and SCROLL BACK keys to move the underline cursor to the desired effect, then use the parameter or key to turn the effect ON of OFF: PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY Distortion (DISTORTION): 0 – 100% This parameter sets the “degree” of distortion produced. A setting of 0 produces a perfectly clean sound, while a setting of 100 produces the most heavily distorted sound. Midrange EQ Frequency (MID FRQ.): 250 Hz – 5.6 kHz Sets the mid-frequency range to be boosted or cut using the next parameter: MID GAIN. = OFF. = ON. In this example display COMPRESSOR (CO), CHORUS (CH) and REVERB (RV) are ON, while DISTORTION (DI) is OFF. Once the desired effects have been selected, use the PARAM key to move on to the main parameters. Only parameters for effects that are turned ON will appear. Midrange EQ Gain (MID GAIN): - 12 – +12 dB Boosts or cuts response in the frequency range set by the MID FRQ parameter (above). A setting of 0 produces no boost or cut. Minus settings (e.g: -6 dB) cut response in the selected frequency range, while plus settings (e.g: +12 dB) boost response. Treble Boost/Cut (TREBLE): -12 – +12 dB Permits boosting or cutting the high-frequency range. Minus settings (e.g: -6 dB) reduce the high-frequency content of the sound, while plus settings (e.g: +6 dB) emphasize the highfrequencies. Distortion Delay (DELAY): 0.1 – 1000 milliseconds Sets the delay between the direct sound and the beginning of the distortion effect. PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM KEY Trigger Level (TRG. LEVEL) : 0 – 100 The level of the input signal which allows the gate to open (or applies a trigger, in other words) can be set. The larger the value, the larger the input signal needed to open the gate. If this is not specified, the gate will not open. Release Time (RELEASE) : 3ms – 2400ms Tis is the time between the point where the gate begins to close and the point where it is fully closed. The larger the value, the smoother the cut-off of the reverberation sound becomes. MULTI-EFFECT PROGRAMS 28. MULTI (CHO&REV) 29. MULTI (SYM+REV) 30. MULTI (EXC&REV) The SPX1000 multi-effect programs combine compressor, distortion, equalizer or dynamic filter (access via EQ key), reverb and chorus or exciter effects. Refer to the effect configuration diagram for each program to understand how the various effects are “connected.” PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM KEY All of the multi-effect programs have both COMPRESSOR and DISTORTION: however, all parameters for these are accessed through the INT PARAM key.

When MONO x 2 is selected the left and 28 Determines the starting phase of the 2-channel pan (PAN 2) in relation to the left-channel pan (PAN 1). PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAM KEY NOT AVAILABLE Expansion Threshold (EXPAND THRS): -72 – -30 dB Expansion Ratio (RATIO): 1–5 These parameters can be used to cut out low-level noise. Expansion is applied to signal levels below the set expander threshold. COMPRESSOR & EXPANDER PROGRAMS 36. COMPRESSOR This extremely versatile compressor program allows creation of a wide range of compression and limiting effects. It can simply be used to reduce the dynamic range of a signal, to smooth out the sound of an electric bass or add sustain to an electric guitar. It can help to reduce volume fluctuations as a vocalist moves closer to or away from a microphone, or limit the maximum level of a signal to prevent overloading certain types of amplification of recording equipment. The COMPRESSOR program is a stereo compressor in which the higher signal level + left- or right-channel + is used for gain control. PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE PARAM KEY Attack Time (ATTACK): 1 – 40 milliseconds Determines how long it takes for full compression to be reached after the effect is triggered (i.e. the THRESHOLD level is exceeded). The right ATTACK setting is essential to preserve the natural initial attack sound of the instrument used — or modify it as desired. Initial Delay Time (DELAY): 0.1 – 2300 milliseconds Determines the time delay between the direct sound and the compressed effect sound. Detect Delay (DET. DLY): -50 – +50 milliseconds This parameter sets an initial delay between the time the input signal begins (the time the THRESHOLD level is exceeded) and the time the compression effect begins. This delay can be used to allow the initial attack of an instrument to come through completely unaffected while the rest of the signal is compressed. A minus DET DLY setting causes the compressed sound to appear before the direct instrument sound. Release Time (RELEASE): 10 – 2,000 milliseconds Determines how long it takes for compression to be released after the input signal drops below the THRESHOLD level. The RELEASE setting is important to preserve the natural release sound of the instrument used. Too short a RELEASE setting will cause the sound to be cut off unnaturally. Threshold Level (THRESHOLD): -48 – -6 dB Determines the level of the input signal at which the compression effect begins. Set at a low level (-48 dB) all input signals will be compressed. At a higher level, only those signals exceeding the THRESHOLD level will be compressed, thus producing a limiting effect. The THRESHOLD level must be set to match the level and characteristics of the instrument being used, as well as the desired effect. Compression Ratio (RATIO): 1 – 20 This parameter sets the “amount” of compression applied to the input signal. A setting of 1.0 produces no compression, while a setting of 20 produces maximum compression. PARAMETERS ACCESSED BY THE INT PARAMETER KEY Detector High Pass Filter Frequency (DET. HPF): THRU, 500 Hz – 8 kHz Allows compression to be applied to a specific range of frequencies. Compression is only applied to frequencies higher than the set DET. HPF frequency. Compression is applied to all frequencies when this parameter is set to THRU. 29 37. LO LVL EXPANDER The EXPANDER program allows efficient suppression of low-level noise, contributing to a cleaner-sounding overall signal. This i a stereo expander in which the highest signal level – left- or right-channel - is used for gain control. NOTE: The EXPANDER program has no internal parameters. STEREO PROGRAMS 39. STEREO PITCH Described under “PITCH CHANGE PROGRAMS” on page 21. 40. STEREO FREEZE Described under “FREEZE PROGRAMS” on page 23. Expansion Threshold (THRESHOLD): -72 – -30 dB Sets the expansion threshold. Expansion will be applied to all signal levels below the set threshold. Expansion Ratio (RATIO): 1 – 5 Determines the degree of expansion applied. A setting of 1 produces no expansion, while the maximum setting of 5 produces the greatest degree of expansion (i.e. greatest attenuation of signals below the threshold). Initial Delay Time (DELAY): 0.1 – 2300 milliseconds Determines the time delay between the direct sound and the beginning of expander operation. EXCITER PROGRAM 38. EXCITER This program artificially adds appropriate harmonics to the input signal, adding luster and effectively bringing “buried” sounds to the foreground. HPF FRQ: 500Hz – 16kHz Determines the range of high harmonics added to the input sound. The smaller the value, the greater the range of high harmonics applied. ENHANCE: 0 – 100% Sets the level of the harmonics added to the input sound. The higher the value, the greater the exciter effect. Exciter/Direct Sound Mix (MIX L VL): 0 – 100% Sets the mixture or balance between the direct input sound and the applied harmonics. DELAY: 0.1 – 1000.0ms 30 5: UTILITY FUNCTIONS The SPX1000 UTILITY key provides access to a number of important functions.

TITLE EDIT This function makes it possible to create original titles for programs you edit and store in memory locations 41 through 99. The TITLE EDIT function is the first one to appear when the UTILITY key is pressed. The "TITLE EDIT" function name appears on the bottom line of the LCD, and an underline cursor appears at the first character position on the top line. The PARAM and SCROLL BACK keys are used to move the cursor back and forth, while the parameter and keys are used to select a new character for the current cursor position. Simply move the cursor to each character position in turn, selecting the appropriate characters at each position. The available characters are as follows: A/D I/O MODE Described under DIGITAL I/O MODES" on page 15. DIGITAL IN ATT. This function makes it possible to vary the input level of the digital input from 0dB to -60dB. USER ER EDIT This function makes it possible to create up to four original ER (Early Reflection) patterns — A, B, C and D — that can be selected and used by the EARLY REF. 3 effect program. Each pattern is comprised of up to 19 separate reflections. The delay, level a stereo position (pan) of each reflection can be individually programmed. 1. Use the UTILITY key to call the USER ER EDIT function. 2. Use the parameter and keys to select the pattern you wish to edit: A, B, C or D. 3. Press the PARAM key to call the "# 1 DLY=" parameter, and use the parameter and keys to program the delay. time for the first early reflection. 4. Press the PARAM key to call the "# 1 LVL=" parameter, and use the parameter and keys to program the level for the first early reflection. 5.

The SCROLL BACK key can be used at any time to scroll backwards through the USER ER EDIT parameters. NOTE: If you attempt to use the TITLE EDIT function while a ROM memory location (1—40) is selected, the "RAM (41—99) ONLY" display will appear on the top line of the LCD and title editing will not be possible. INPUT MODE Described under "INPUT MODES" on page 14. 31 MEMORY PROTECT The MEMORY PROTECT function must be OFF prior to performing a STORE operation. If you attempt to execute a STORE while MEMORY PROTECT is ON, the “PROTECTED” display will appear and the STORE operation will be aborted. 1. Press the UTILITY key a few times until the MEMORY PROTECT function appears. 2. MEMORY PROTECT can be turned ON by pressing the parameter key and off by pressing the parameter key. Bank Selection and MIDI Channel Programming 1. Press the UTILITY key until the MIDI CONTROL function appears. 2. The underline cursor should be under the BANK parameter. Use the parameter and keys to select the bank you wish to program. 3. Move the cursor to the “ch=” parameter by pressing the PARAM key, then use the parameter and keys to set the receive MIDI channel (1 + 16), the OMNI mode (all channels can be received), or turn MIDI reception OFF for the selected bank. The underline cursor can be moved back to the BANK parameter if necessary by pressing the SCROLL BACK key. Assigning Effects to MIDI Program Change Numbers MIDI CONTROL & MIDI PGM CHANGE The SPX1000 makes it possible to select specific programs via external MIDI control. You can set up the SPX1000 for example, so that when you select a voice on a synthesizer the most appropriate effect for that voice is automatically selected. This is accomplished because each time you select a voice on your MIDI synthesizer it transmits the corresponding MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE NUMBER. The SPX1000 receives this PROGRAM CHANGE NUMBER and selects the effect program that you have assigned to it using the MIDI PROG CHANGE function which will be described below. The SPX1000 also accepts MIDI KEY ON EVENT messages to trigger some of the gate effects, and MIDI KEY ON NUMBERS to set the PITCH parameter of the PITCH CHANGE effects. The SPX1000 actually can be programmed with four completely independent sets of MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE NUMBER/MEMORY NUMBER assignments. Each of these is contained in a different “bank”: A, B, C or D. Each BANK may also be programmed to receive on a different MIDI channel. An example of the way the four banks may be programmed with different receive channels and program number/memory number assignments is given below: 32 1. Select the MIDI PGM CHANGE function using the UTILITY key or program select and keys. The underline cursor should be under the PGM parameter. 2. Use the parameter and keys to select the program change number to which a new SPX1000 memory location number is to be assigned. The range of available program change numbers is from 1 to 128. 3. Move the underline cursor to the MEM parameter by pressing the PARAM key. Use the parameter and keys to select the memory location number containing the effect which is to be assigned to the currently selected program change number. 4. Move the underline cursor back to the PGM parameter and repeat the above steps to assign as many program change numbers as necessary. NOTE: The program number/memory number assignments made are stored in the BANK selected in the previous MIDI CONTROL function. To program the program change/ memory number assignments for a different BANK, return to the MIDI CONTROL function, select the desired BANK, then program the required assignments.

Use the UTILITY key to call the MIDI CTRL ASSIGN function. 2. The underline cursor should be under the ASS (Assign) parameter. Use the parameter and keys to select either ASS 1 for control of the parameter assigned to FVOL1, or ASS2 for control of the parameter assigned to FVOL2. 3. Press the PARAM key to move the cursor to the right parameter and select the MIDI control change message you will use to control the assigned parameter by using the program select and keys.

The cursor can be moved back to the ASS parameter if necessary by pressing the SCROLL BACK key. BULK OUT 1 & BULK OUT 2 This function permits dumping program data and/or BANK MIDI assignments via the MIDI OUT terminal (The MIDI THRU/OUT terminal must be switched to MIDI). This permits transferring data to a second SPX1000 or storing the data on a MIDI data recorder. The SPX1000 automatically reloads data received from a MIDI data recorder into the appropriate memory locations. * The BULK OUT 1 function permits dumping all SPX1000 memory data (ALL), independent memory locations (MEM), and independent program change assignment banks (BANK). The BULK OUT 2 function permits dumping user early reflection patterns (USER.ER) or all system data (SYSTEM, current system status). 1. Use the UTILITY key to select the BULK OUT 1 or BULK OUT 2 function. 2. Use the PARAM and SCROLL BACK keys to select the data group to be dumped (ALL, MEM, BANK, USER.ER or SYSTEM). 3. If you selected ALL or SYSTEM, simply press the STORE key to execute the bulk dump. 4. If you select MEM, BANK or USER.ER, use the parameter and keys to select the desired memory location number, bank or user reflection pattern, then press STORE to execute the BULK DUMP operation. Selecting instead of a number will cause all the memories, all the banks, or all the user reflection patterns to be transmitted. 33 F.SW MEMORY RCL RANGE 50 TO 60 * A bulk dump will only be received by the SPX1000 if its MEMORY PROTECT function is OFF and the MIDI channel is the same as that of the transmitting equipment. Since bulk data from a second SPX1000, for example, is loaded into the memory location(s) that it was transmitted from, make sure that those locations do not cantain important data that will be overwritten. If, for example, the RANGE parameter is set to “50 TO 60” as shown in the LCD illustration above, each time the footswitch is pressed the next highest memory location will be selected until the last number in the specified range is reached. After the last number in the specified range, the first (lowest) number is selected and the process repeated. F.SW MEMORY RCL RANGE 44 TO 41 F.SW MEMORY RCL Reverse sequences can be programmed by entering the highest number in the range before the lowest, as shown below. The SPX1000 permits memory selection via an optional Yamaha FC5 footswitch connected to the “INC/DEC” footswitch jack. The F.SW MEMORY RCL function permits setting the range of memory location numbers that will be selected when the footswitch is pressed. 1. Use the UTILITY key to call the F.SW MEMORY RCL function. The underline cursor should be located under the first memory number in the range. 2. Use the parameter in the range. and keys to enter the first number 3. Press the PARAM key to move the cursor to the second number in the range. 4. Use the parameter in the range. 34 and keys to enter the second number In this case the selection sequence is: 44 44, etc. 43 42 41 6: DATA & SPECIFICATIONS ROM CONTENTS AND CONTROLLABLE PARAMETERS Add-1 Add-2 Add-3 Add-4 Add-5 Add-6 Add-7 Add-8 Add-9 Add-10 Add-11 Add-12 Add-13 Add-14 MIDI DATA FORMAT 1.Transmitting Conditions 2.Transmitting Data 2 . 1 System information 1 ) System Exclusive Messages MEMORY BULK DATA MIDI DATA FORMAT Transmission is enabled on the MIDI channel of the currently selected bank.
