• Before connecting the device to other devices, turn off the power for all devices.

Before turning the power on or off for all devices, set all volume levels to minimum.

• Be sure to connect to a properly grounded power source. A ground screw

terminal is provided on the rear panel for safely grounding the device and

preventing electrical shock.

• Do not insert your ﬁngers or hand in any gaps or openings on the device.

•Avoid inserting or dropping foreign objects (paper, plastic, metal, etc.) into any

gaps or openings on the device. If this happens, turn off the power immediately

and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Then have the device inspected

by qualiﬁed Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not rest your weight on the device or place heavy objects on it, and avoid use

excessive force on the buttons, switches or connectors.

• This device has a built-in backup battery. When you unplug the power cord from

the AC outlet, the internal data is retained. However, if the backup battery fully

discharges, this data will be lost. When the backup battery is running low, the

LCD indicates “Low Battery!”. In this case, immediately save the data to a

computer or other external device, then have qualiﬁed Yamaha service

personnel replace the backup battery.

XLR-type connectors are wired as follows (IEC60268 standard): pin 1: ground, pin 2: hot (+), and pin 3: cold (-).

Here’s how to turn on the power of a system that includes

the SPX2000.

1 Protect your monitor system

Before you turn on the power of the SPX2000, turn off

the power of the device that is connected to the [OUT-

PUT] jacks (Y) or [AES/EBU OUT] jack (W). Also

turn the [INPUT L R] control (1) to minimize the

L/R input signal level (the inner knob controls the L

channel, and the outer knob controls the R channel).

2 Turn on the power of the SPX2000

Press the [POWER ON/OFF] button (P) to turn the

power on.

→ The front panel display and LEDs will light.

3 Turn on your external devices

Turn on the power of devices connected to the

SPX2000.

Make connections to external

devices

NOTE: If you are inputting/outputting analog signals, you must

set the [INPUT –10 dBu/+4 dBu] switch (

) and the [OUTPUT

–10dBu/+4dBu] switch (

) appropriately for the signal level of

the connected devices.

You must turn off the power of all devices before you

make connections.

Turn the power on

NOTE:To prevent high-volume noise from being out-

put from your speakers, turn on the power starting

with the device that is closest to the audio source.

Example: sound modules → mixer → SPX2000 →

power amp

Reverse this order when turning the power off.

SPX2000—Owner’s Manual 11

Operation

You will need to make several selections regarding the

input signal.

Select monaural or stereo input

Use the [INPUT MODE] button (3) to select either mon-

aural input or stereo input. Each time you press the

[INPUT MODE] button the indicator will alternate

between MONO and STEREO.

The signal ﬂow will change as follows depending on

whether the input is monaural or stereo, and on the num-

ber of inputs/outputs for the effect you recall.

Select the signal for metering

Use the [METER] button (4) to select either the pre-

effect signal or the post-effect signal for display in the level

meter (2). Each time you press the [METER] button the

indicator will alternate between INPUT and OUTPUT.

Check the status of the input signal

The following indicators will light to indicate the state of

the input signal.

• INPUT SOURCE (5):

This will indicate whether the input signal is ANALOG

or DIGITAL. If you want to change input sources, use

“INPUT SOURCE” (page 19) to select the desired input

source.

• MIDI (7):

This indicator will light when MIDI data is received.

• CLOCK (6):

This indicates the word clock source. Use “CLOCK

SOURCE” (page 18) to select the word clock source.

• kHz (8)

This indicates the word clock frequency (44.1/48/88.2/96

kHz). If you are using the SPX2000’s internal clock, you

can use “CLOCK SOURCE” (page 18) to select the fre-

quency.

Use the [INPUT L R] control (1) to adjust the analog

input signal levels (L/R); the inner knob controls the L

channel, and the outer knob controls the R channel.

Three banks

The SPX2000 has three effect banks; PRESET,

USER, and CLASSIC. These banks are organized as

follows.

PRESET bank

This bank contains a total of 97 effects; 80

effects based on new algorithms and ranging

from standard to distinctive, and 17 newly-

developed reverb (REV-X) effects.

The effects in this bank are read-only.

CLASSIC bank

This bank contains 25 simple and easy-to-use

effects based on early models of the SPX series.

The effects in this bank are read-only.

USER bank

When shipped, this bank does not contain

effects. You can edit effects from the PRESET

bank or CLASSIC bank and store them as your

own original effects in the USER bank. Once

you have stored an effect, you can recall and use

it in the same way as the effects of the PRESET

bank or CLASSIC bank.

You can store 99 effects in this bank.

Basic parameters and Fine

parameters

Each of the SPX2000’s effects consists of two types

of parameter: Basic parameters and Fine parame-

ters.

Since some effects have a rather large number of

parameters, the parameters that you will probably

need to edit most often are grouped as “Basic

parameters,” and supplementary parameters are

grouped as “Fine parameters.”

The number and type of Basic parameters and Fine

parameters will differ for each effect.

To edit a parameter, you must ﬁrst select it. The editable

parameters will differ for each effect. For details, refer to

the explanation of each parameter in the “Effects” section

(page 25 and following).

1 Select a Basic parameter or Fine parameter

Press either the [PARAMETER] button (J) or the

Setting the tempo

Some effects have a Tempo parameter. You can edit

the Tempo parameter in any of the following ﬁve

ways.

• Use the [▲ INC]/[▼ DEC] button (G)

This is the same method as when editing other

parameters.

• Use the [TAP] button (N)

When you press the [TAP] button (N) two or

more times, the average interval will be calculated

and set as the Tempo value. If you want to use this

method, set “TEMPO SOURCE” (page 23) to

specify “TAP” as the synchronization source.

• Use the foot switch

When you press the foot switch (optional) two or

more times, the average interval will be calcu-

lated and set as the Tempo value. If you want to

use this method, use the following procedure.

1. Connect an optional foot switch (e.g., FC5) to

the [FOOT SW] jack (O).

2. Set the “TEMPO SOURCE” setting (page 23)

to specify “TAP” as the synchronization source.

• Use MIDI clock

The interval of MIDI Clock messages can be used

to set the Tempo value. If you want to use this

method, set “TEMPO SOURCE” (page 23) to

specify “MIDI” as the synchronization source.

• Use MIDI control changes

The value speciﬁed by a MIDI Control Change

message can be used to set the Tempo value. By

using this method you can control the SPX2000’s

Te mpo value from a connected external MIDI

device.

SPX2000—Owner’s Manual 15

Operation

Effects and tempo synchronization

Some of the SPX2000’s effects allow you to synchronize the effect with the tempo. There are two such types of effect; delay-

type effects and modulation-type effects. For delay-type effects, the delay time will change according to the tempo. For mod-

ulation-type effects, the frequency of the modulation signal will change according to the tempo.

• Parameters related to tempo synchronization

The following ﬁve parameters are related to tempo synchronization.

1) SYNC 2) NOTE 3) TEMPO 4) DELAY 5) FREQ.

SYNC: ........................................This is the on/off switch for tempo synchronization.

NOTE and TEMPO: .................These are the basic parameters for tempo synchronization.

DELAY and FREQ.:................... DELAY is the delay time, and FREQ. is the frequency of the modulation signal. These

directly affect the way in which the effect sound will change. DELAY is relevant only

for delay-type effects, and FREQ. is relevant only for modulation-type effects.

• How the parameters are related

Te mpo synchronization uses TEMPO and NOTE to calculate a value that will be the basis for the tempo, and continues

making adjustments so that this tempo basis stays essentially the same as the DELAY (or FREQ.). This means that when

TEMPO, NOTE, and DELAY (or FREQ.) are synchronized, and you change any of these values, the other parameters will

be re-set in order to maintain the correct relationship. The parameters that are re-set and the calculation method(*

) used

are as follows.

If you turn SYNC on

→ NOTE will be set

If you edit DELAY (or FREQ.)

→ NOTE will be set

In this case, the NOTE value is calculated as follows.

NOTE = DELAY (or FREQ.)/(4 x (60/TEMPO))

If you edit NOTE → DELAY (or FREQ.) will be set

In this case, the DELAY (or FREQ.) value is calculated as follows.

DELAY (or FREQ.) = NOTE x 4 x (60/TEMPO)

If you edit TEMPO → DELAY (or FREQ.) will be set

In this case, the DELAY (or FREQ.) value is calculated as follows.

DELAY (or FREQ.) = original DELAY (or FREQ.) x (previous TEMPO/new TEMPO)

Example 1: When SYNC=ON, DELAY=250 ms, TEMPO=120, you change NOTE from 8th note to quarter note

DELAY= new NOTE x 4 x (60/TEMPO)

= (1/4) x 4 x (60/120)

= 0.5 (sec)

= 500 ms

Thus, the DELAY will change from 250 ms to 500 ms.

Example 2: When SYNC=ON, DELAY=250 ms, NOTE=8th note, you change TEMPO from 120 to 121

DELAY= original DELAY x (previous TEMPO/new TEMPO)

= 250 x (120/121)

= 247.9 (ms)

Thus, the TEMPO will change from 250 ms to 247.9 ms.

Rounded values are used for the calculation results.

• Ranges of the NOTE and TEMPO values

The ranges of the NOTE and TEMPO values are limited by the ranges of the DELAY or FREQ. values. You cannot set

NOTE or TEMPO values that would cause DELAY or FREQ. to exceed their maximum possible values when synchronized

to tempo. This limitation also applies even when SYNC is OFF.

• Special characteristics of the TEMPO parameter

The TEMPO parameter has the following characteristics that are unlike other parameters.

•It is a common value shared by all effects

•It cannot be stored/recalled (the value is not saved)

This means that the TEMPO value may not necessarily be the same when an effect is recalled as when that effect was

stored. Here is an example.

Store the effect: TEMPO=120 → Change TEMPO to 60 → Recall the effect: TEMPO=60

Normally when you change the TEMPO, the DELAY (or FREQ.) will be re-set accordingly. However if the DELAY (or

FREQ.) were changed, the effect would sound differently when recalled than when it was stored. To prevent the effect from

changing in this way between store and recall, the SPX2000 does not update the DELAY (or FREQ.) value when an effect is

recalled, even if the TEMPO is no longer the same as when that effect was stored.

Selecting the word clock source

NOTE: If the display indicates “WRONG WORD CLOCK!”, the

word clock signal from the external device has either been

interrupted or is a frequency to which the SPX2000 cannot

synchronize. Check whether there might be a problem with the

connection from the device supplying the word clock, or an

incorrect word clock setting.

If this occurs, the word clock source will automatically switch to

one of the SPX2000’s internal clocks until an acceptable word

clock is supplied from the external device.

NOTES:

• The SPX2000 extracts the sampling frequency from the

clock frequency. This means that the word clock frequency =

About word clock

The signal used to synchronize digital audio signal

processing is called “word clock.”

When two or more digital devices are connected in

order to send and receive digital audio signals, each

digital device must process the signal at the same

timing. Even if all connected devices are set to the

same clock frequency, the signals will not be trans-

mitted and received correctly if the processing tim-

ing does not match, or you may hear noise.

In order for digital audio signals to be synchro-

nized, one digital device must transmit the clock

(synchronization data), and the other devices must

be set to receive this clock. In such a setup, the

device that supplies the synchronization reference

clock is called the “CLOCK MASTER,” and the

receiving devices are called “CLOCK SLAVES.”

To use the SPX2000 as the clock master, set the

“CLOCK SOURCE” function (page 18) to either

INT96kHz, INT88.2kHz, INT48kHz, or INT44.1.

To use the SPX2000 as a clock slave, use either of

the following two methods.

1 Set the “CLOCK SOURCE” function

(page 18) to AES/EBU, and connect the

AES/EBU format compatible device supply-

ing the clock data to the [AES/EBU IN] jack

(X).

2 Set the “CLOCK SOURCE” function

(page 18) to WORD CLOCK, and connect

the device supplying the clock to the

[WORD CLOCK IN] jack (V). When doing

so, the device supplying the clock must be

connected one-to-one with the SPX2000.

Selecting the input source

NOTE: If the display indicates “Sync Error!” or if the DIGITAL

[INPUT SOURCE] indicator blinks, the incoming digital input

signal does not match the clock on which the SPX2000 is

operating.

SPX2000—Owner’s Manual 21

Operation

The SPX2000 uses two ports to transmit and receive MIDI

data.

One port (“MIDI PORT GENERAL”) is used to transmit

and receive conventional MIDI data, and the other port

(“MIDI PORT EDITOR”) is used for communication

between the SPX2000 and the SPX2000 Editor. You cannot

use the same setting for both ports. A port you selected for

one setting will not appear as a selection for the other set-

ting.

1 Select either the “MIDI PORT GENERAL” func-

tion or the “MIDI PORT EDITOR” function

Press the [UTILITY] button (L) several times to select

either “MIDI PORT GENERAL” or “MIDI PORT EDI-

TOR.”

will be retransmitted without change. With this set-

ting, MIDI data from the SPX2000 itself cannot be

transmitted.

• MIDI OUT:

Internal data of the SPX2000 can be bulk-dumped,

or data can be transmitted in response to a request

received from an external device.

Reverb

These effects add reverberation. Reverberation varies in a complex way according to factors such as the size of the room and

the material of the walls. You can use this type of effect to simulate these changes, producing a wide range of reverberation.

Reverberation can be divided into two categories of sound; early reﬂections and the subsequent reverberation. Early reﬂec-

tions are the sounds that reach your ear after being reﬂected only once from the walls or ceiling. The subsequent reverbera-

tion is the “wash” of sound that reaches your ear after reﬂecting multiple times from the walls and ceiling. The SPX2000

provides two types of reverb; those that allow you to independently control the early reﬂections and the reverberation, and

those that control these two as a single unit.

The SPX2000 also provides gated reverbs. These effects pass the signal through a gate so that reverb is added only while the

gate is open. One way to use these effects is to add only reverb that exceeds a speciﬁed level, and close the gate to cut the

slowly decaying reverberation.

The differences between the various types of reverb are as follows.

REV-X (PRESET bank)

These are reverbs that use a new algorithm. You can modify the enve-

lope of the reverberation.

Each aspect of the sound is controlled by the following effect parame-

ters.

Reverberation:

REV TIME, HI.RATIO, LO.RATIO, INI.DLY, DIFF., LO.FREQ., DECAY

Overall effect sound: ROOMSIZE

Filter/equalizer: HPF, LPF

Output level: OUT LVL, MIX BAL.

Parameter name Range Explanation

REV TIME 0.10—46.92s

Time over which the reverberation will decay and disappear.

HI.RATIO 0.1—1.0

Length of the high-frequency or low-frequency reverberation. These times are speciﬁed as a pro-

portion of the REV TIME. If this value is set to 1.0, the length will be the same as REV TIME.

You can use these values to simulate the absorptiveness of the walls and ceiling. HI.RATIO indi-

cates the decay of the high-frequency range, and LO.RATIO indicates the decay of the low-fre-

quency range.

LO.RATIO 0.1—1.4

INI.DLY 0.0—125.0 ms

Delay of the reﬂections relative to the original sound.

DIFF. 0—10

Density and left/right diffusion of the reverberation. Increasing this value will increase the density,

and produce a stronger sense of spaciousness.

ROOMSIZE 0—28

Size of the reverberant space. Increasing this value simulates a larger space. You can use this to sim-

ulate the absorptiveness of the walls and ceiling. Changing this value will change the REV TIME

value.

Output level after the original sound and effect sound have been mixed. Decrease this value if you

want to lower the output. At a setting of 0% there will be no output.

HPF Thru, 22.0 Hz—8.00 kHz

A ﬁlter that cuts the low-frequency portion of the effect. Frequency components lower than the

frequency speciﬁed here will be cut. With a setting of Thru this ﬁlter will do nothing. This ﬁlter

does not affect the original sound.

LPF 1.00—18.0 kHz, Thru

A ﬁlter that cuts the high-frequency portion of the effect. Frequency components above the fre-

quency speciﬁed here will be cut. With a setting of Thru this ﬁlter will do nothing. This ﬁlter does

not affect the original sound.

LO.FREQ. 22.0 Hz—18.0 kHz

The frequency that will be the basis for the LO.RATIO (Basic parameter). Frequencies lower than

the value speciﬁed here will be affected by LO.RATIO.

DECAY 0—53

Shapes the envelope of the reverberation. This changes the way in which the reverberation decays.

Reverb

Reverb (CLASSIC bank)

These reverbs are based on effects of earlier models in the SPX series.

There is no distinction between early reﬂections and subsequent

reverberation.

Each aspect of the sound is controlled by the following effect parame-

ters.

Reverberation: REV TIME. HI.RATIO, DELAY

Filter/equalizer: HPF, LPF

Output level: OUT LVL, MIX BAL.

Parameter details

■Basic parameters

Effect list

The following table show the default parameter values for the effects belonging to the Reverb type (CLASSIC bank).

Parameter name Range Explanation

REV TIME 0.3—99.0 s

Reverb time. This is expressed as the time over which reverberation at 1 kHz will decay by 60 dB.

HI.RATIO 0.1—1.0

Reverb time for the high-frequency range, expressed as a proportion of REV TIME. If this value is

0.1 the time will be 1/10th the REV TIME; if it is 1.0 the time will be the same as the REV TIME.

You can adjust these values to simulate the absorptiveness of the walls or ceiling. HI.RATIO is the

decay of the high-frequency range.

DELAY 0.0—500.0 ms

Delay of the reverberation relative to the original sound.

HPF THRU, 32 Hz—1.0 kHz

A ﬁlter that cuts the low-frequency portion of the effect. Frequency components lower than the

frequency speciﬁed here will be cut. With a setting of THRU this ﬁlter will do nothing. This ﬁlter

does not affect the original sound.

LPF 1.0—11 kHz, THRU

A ﬁlter that cuts the high-frequency portion of the effect. Frequency components above the fre-

quency speciﬁed here will be cut. With a setting of THRU this ﬁlter will do nothing. This ﬁlter does

not affect the original sound.

Reverb time. This is expressed as the time over which reverberation at 1 kHz will decay by 60 dB.

HI.RATIO 0.1—1.0

Reverb time for the high-frequency range, expressed as a proportion of REV TIME. If this value is

0.1 the time will be 1/10th the REV TIME; if it is 1.0 the time will be the same as the REV TIME.

You can adjust these values to simulate the absorptiveness of the walls and ceiling. HI.RATIO is the

Delay of the reverberation relative to the original sound.

HPF THRU, 32 Hz—1.0 kHz

A ﬁlter that cuts the low-frequency portion of the effect. Frequency components lower than the

frequency speciﬁed here will be cut. With a setting of THRU this ﬁlter will do nothing. This ﬁlter

does not affect the original sound.

LPF 1.0 —11 kHz, THRU

A ﬁlter that cuts the high-frequency portion of the effect. Frequency components above the fre-

quency speciﬁed here will be cut. With a setting of THRU this ﬁlter will do nothing. This ﬁlter does

not affect the original sound.

TRG. LVL 1—61

The level at which the gate is triggered. Increasing this value will raise the level of original sound

required to open the gate.

48 kHz: 6—29400 ms

88.2 kHz: 3—16000 ms

96 kHz: 3—14700 ms

The release time of the gate. This is the time from when the gate begins to close until it is com-

pletely closed. Higher settings of this value will make the gate close more slowly; i.e., the volume

that passes through the gate will decrease more slowly.

MIDI TRG ON, OFF

Speciﬁes whether MIDI messages will be used to trigger the gate. If this is ON, the gate will open

when a Note-on message with note number C1 or higher is received. In order to enable MIDI mes-

sage reception, you must specify the MIDI port and MIDI channel. For details, refer to “Prepara-

tions for using MIDI” on page 88.

What is a Gate?

A “gate” is a device or circuit that passes or blocks a signal. Gates are provided on the SPX2000’s Reverb (PRE-

SET bank) and Reverb & Gate (CLASSIC bank) effects, and can be used to control the reverberation.

For example you can use a gate to apply reverberation only to signals that exceed a speciﬁed level, or to suddenly

cut the decaying “tail” of the reverberation so that the reverberation ends suddenly.

The various gate-related parameters are explained below.

• Threshold Level

This is the signal level at which the gate will open. The

gate will open when the input signal exceeds this level,

and will remain open as long as the signal remains above

this level.

On the SPX2000, this is controlled by parameters such

as GATE LVL, TRG.LVL.

• Attack Time/Release Time (Decay Time)

To prevent sudden “jumps” in the sound when the input signal exceeds or falls below the threshold level, you

can make the gate open or close gradually over a speciﬁed length of time. The time from when the gate begins

to open until it opens completely is called the Attack Time, and the time from when it begins to close until it

closes completely is called the Release Time (or Decay Time).

On the SPX2000, the Attack Time is controlled by parameters such as ATTACK, and the Release Time is con-

trolled by parameters such as DECAY, RELEASE.

• Hold Time

This is the time that the gate will remain open after the signal falls below the threshold level.

If the level of the signal changes irregularly, the gate will open and close at short intervals. This will cause the

sound to be alternately interrupted and passed, making it sound unsteady and jumpy.

In such cases, you can adjust the Hold Time so that the gate will remain open for a time even after the signal

falls below the threshold level; this will prevent the gate from opening and closing so frequently. However, be

aware that if you set the Hold Time longer than necessary, the gate will remain open all the time, and will

therefore have no effect on the sound.

On the SPX2000, the Hold Time is controlled by the HOLD parameter.

Early Reﬂection

These effects add early reﬂections. Early reﬂections are the sounds that reach your ear after being reﬂected only once from the

walls or ceiling. In contrast, the “wash” of sound that reaches your ear after reﬂecting multiple times from the walls and ceil-

ing is called “subsequent reverberation.” In nature, early reﬂections will be followed by subsequent reverberation, but the

Early Reﬂection effects omit this, producing a tighter sound. These effects can produce interesting results when applied to

drums, percussion, or guitar.

The differences between the effects are summarized below.

Early Reﬂection, Gate Reverb, Reverse Gate (PRESET bank)

Early Reﬂection is the basic effect of this type, and Gate Reverb is

based on the popular effect of the same name. Reverse Gate is also

known as “backwards reverb.”

Each aspect of the sound is controlled by the following effect parameters.

Early reﬂections: TYPE, ROOMSIZE, LIVENESS, INI.DLY, DIFF.,

DENSITY, ER NUM, FB.GAIN, HI.RATIO

Filter/equalizer: HPF, LPF

Output level: OUT LVL, MIX BAL.

*a. For Early Reflection effects, choose from S-Hall, L-Hall, Random, Revers, Plate, and Spring.

For Gate Reverb and Reverse Gate effects, choose from Type-A and Type-B.

The pattern of early reﬂections; this determines the basic character of the effect. The characteristics

of the early reﬂections will depend on the type you select here.

ROOMSIZE 0.1—20.0

Size of the reverberant space. Increasing this value simulates a larger space. You can use this to sim-

ulate the absorptiveness of the walls and ceiling.

LIVENESS 0—10

Decay characteristics of the early reﬂections. Increasing this value will reduce the decay, causing the

repeats to continue. You can use this to simulate the absorptiveness of the walls and ceiling.

INI.DLY 0.0—500.0 ms

Delay of the early reﬂections relative to the original sound.

DIFF. 0—10

Diffusion of the sound to left and right. Increasing this value will make the reverberation more

spaciousness.

DENSITY 0—100%

Density of the early reﬂections. Increasing this value will make the reverberation smoother. You

can create unique effects by lowering this value.

Parameter name Range Explanation

MIX BAL. 0—100%

Balance between the original sound and effect sound. At a setting of 0% only the original sound

will be output; at a setting of 100% only the effect sound will be output.

OUT LVL 0—100%

Output level after the original sound and effect sound have been mixed. Decrease this value if you

want to lower the output. At a setting of 0% there will be no output.

ER NUM. 1—19

The number of early reﬂections. Increasing this value will increase the number of reﬂections.

HPF Thru, 21.2 Hz—8.00 kHz

A ﬁlter that cuts the low-frequency portion of the effect. Frequency components lower than the

frequency speciﬁed here will be cut. With a setting of Thru this ﬁlter will do nothing. This ﬁlter

does not affect the original sound.

LPF 50.0 Hz—16.0 kHz, Thru

A ﬁlter that cuts the high-frequency portion of the effect. Frequency components above the fre-

quency speciﬁed here will be cut. With a setting of Thru this ﬁlter will do nothing. This ﬁlter does

not affect the original sound.

FB.GAIN –99%—+99%

Amount of feedback for the early reﬂections. This indicates the ratio by which the level is reduced for

each repetition of the effect. For example with a setting of +50, the level of the reﬂections will decay

to 50% → 25% → 12.5% as they are repeated. Negative (–) values invert the phase of the feedback.

HI.RATIO 0.1—1.0

Amount of feedback for the high-frequency portion of the reﬂections. This is speciﬁed as a propor-

tion of FB.GAIN. If this value is 0.1, the feedback amount will be 1/10th of FB.GAIN; if this value is

1.0, the feedback amount will be the same as FB.GAIN.

Delay, Echo

These effects add one or more delayed sound. Karaoke echo is a typical example, used to add depth to the sound. The delay

can repeat while diminishing. Some of these effects let you synchronize the delay to the tempo.

The differences between the effects are summarized below.

Mono Delay (PRESET bank)

These are basic delay effects. A monaural delayed sound will follow the original sound.

Each aspect of the sound is controlled by the following effect parameters.

Delay sound: DELAY, FB.GAIN, HI.RATIO

Tempo synchronization: SYNC, NOTE, TEMPO

Filter/equalizer: HPF, LPF

Output level: OUT LVL, MIX BAL.

Modulation

These effects modulate the input signal in various ways. Using one signal to vary another signal is called “modulation.” The

signal that is being varied is called the “carrier,” and the signal that is creating the modulation is called the “modulator.” Mod-

ulation-type effects can vary the volume, the pitch, or the delay time of the effect sound to produce “swooshing” or “twisting”

sounds (ﬂanger, phaser) or cyclic changes in volume (tremolo) or position (auto pan). The SPX2000 can use the signal of an

oscillator as the modulator to apply cyclic change, or use the input signal itself or MIDI messages to apply change.

Flanger (PRESET bank)

These effects add a “swooshing” character that is reminiscent of a jet

airplane taking off and landing.

For delay-type effects, the delay time relative to the original sound does

not change; however for a ﬂanger, the delay time is modulated cycli-

cally. It is this change in the delay time that produces the “swooshing”

character of a ﬂanger.

Each aspect of the sound is controlled by the following effect parame-

ters.

Modulation signal: FREQ., DEPTH, WAVE

Effect sound: MOD.DLY, FB.GAIN

Tempo synchronization: SYNC, NOTE, TEMPO

Filter/equalizer: LSH G, LSH F, EQ G, EQ F, EQ Q, HSH G, HSH F

This effect changes the pitch. When an audio signal such as music is played back at a higher speed, its pitch will be higher.

Conversely if the audio is played back at a lower speed, its pitch will be lower. This effect simulates this in a more sophisti-

cated way. Some of these effects can add two effect sounds at different pitches, or synchronize the effect sound to the tempo.

The differences between the various Pitch Change effects are as follows.

of the PRESET bank, but have a simpler parameter structure than the PRESET bank effects. Since MIDI note-on messages

can be used to change the pitch, you can connect a MIDI keyboard and change the pitch according to your accompaniment.

Each aspect of the sound is controlled by the following effect parameters.

Effect sound: PITCH, FINE, DELAY, F.B.GAIN

MIDI control: BASE KEY

Output level: OUT LVL, MIX BAL.

Parameter details

■Basic parameters

Effect list

The following table shows the default parameter values for the effects belonging to the Pitch Change A, D types (CLASSIC

bank).

■Basic parameters

Parameter name Range Explanation

PITCH –12—+12

Amount of pitch change, set in semitone steps. Positive (+) settings make the pitch higher than the

original sound, and negative (–) settings make it lower.

FINE –50—+50

Amount of pitch change, set in cents (1/100th of a semitone). Positive (+) settings make the pitch

higher than the original sound, and negative (–) settings make it lower.

DELAY 0.0—1000.0 ms

Delay of the effect sound relative to the original sound.

F. B .GAIN 0%—99%

Amount of feedback for the effect sound. Raising this value will increase the amount of feedback,

emphasizing the pitch change. Negative (–) settings will invert the phase of the feedback.

BASE KEY OFF, C 1—C 6

Base key for when receiving MIDI note-on messages. When a MIDI Note-on message with note

number C1 or higher is received, its distance from this setting will be used to update the PITCH

value. For example if you set this parameter as C4, a received note-on message of C3 will cause

PITCH to be set to –12, making the effect sound one octave lower than the original pitch. If you set

this parameter as C2, a received note-on message of D2 will cause PITCH to be set to +2, making

the effect sound two semitones higher than the original pitch. If this parameter is OFF, MIDI note-

on messages will not be received.

OUT LVL 0—100%

Output level after the original sound and effect sound have been mixed.

Decrease this value if you want to lower the output. At a setting of 0% there will be no output.

MIX BAL. 0—100%

Balance between the original sound and effect sound. At a setting of 0% only the original sound

will be output; at a setting of 100% only the effect sound will be output.

The pattern of early reﬂections; this determines the basic character of the effect. The characteristics

of the early reﬂections will depend on the type you select here.

ROOMSIZE 0.1—20.0

Size of the reﬂective space. Increasing this value simulates a larger space. You can use this to simu-

late the absorptiveness of the walls and ceiling.

LIVENESS 0—10

Decay characteristics of the early reﬂections. Increasing this value will reduce the decay, causing the

repeats to continue. You can use this to simulate the absorptiveness of the walls and ceiling.

INI.DLY 0.0—500.0 ms

Delay of the early reﬂections relative to the original sound.

DIFF. 0—10

Diffusion of the sound to left and right. Increasing this value will make the reﬂections more spa-

ciousness.

DENSITY 0—100%

Density of the early reﬂections. Increasing this value will make the sound smoother. You can create

unique effects by lowering this value.

delay.

FB.DLY 0.0—1000.0 ms

Delay added when the signal is fed back. The delay from the original sound to the ﬁrst delay is set

by the DELAY L and DELAY R values, but the delay of subsequent repeats will be each DELAY +

FB.DLY.

FB.GAIN –99%—+99%

Amount of feedback for the delay sound. This indicates the ratio by which the level is reduced for

each repetition of the effect. For example with a setting of +50, the level of the delay will decay to

50% → 25% → 12.5% as it is repeated. Negative (–) values invert the phase of the feedback.

HI.RATIO 0.1—1.0

Amount of feedback for the high-frequency portion of the delay. This is speciﬁed as a proportion

of FB.GAIN. If this value is 0.1, the feedback amount will be 1/10th of FB.GAIN; if this value is 1.0,

Multi-band Dynamics Processor (PRESET bank)

This effect splits the signal into three frequency bands, and individually controls the dynamic range of each band. It lets you

use three types of processor — a compressor, expander, and limiter — in combination. The signal is sent through the

expander, compressor, and limiter in that order.

Compressor: CMP.THRE, CMP.RAT, CMP.ATK, CMP.REL, CMP.KNEE, CMP.BYP

Expander: EXP.THRE, EXP.RAT, EXP.REL, EXP.BYP

Limiter: LIM.THRE, LIM.ATK, LIM.REL, LIM.BYP, LIM.KNEE

Applicable to Compressor, Expander, and Limiter: PRESENCE, LOOKUP

Filter/equalizer: LOW GAIN, MID GAIN, HI. GAIN, L-M XOVR, M-H XOVR, SLOPE

Output level: CEILING, MIX BAL., SOLO LOW, SOLO MID, SOLO HI

Parameter details

■Basic parameters

Parameter name Range Explanation

LOW GAIN –96.0—+12.0 dB

Low range gain. Raising this value will boost the low-frequency range.

MID GAIN –96.0—+12.0 dB

Mid range gain. Raising this value will boost the mid-frequency range.

HI. GAIN –96.0—+12.0 dB

High range gain. Raising this value will boost the high-frequency range.

PRESENCE –10—+10

This setting varies the effect separately for each range. Positive (+) settings of this value will lower the

high-frequency threshold level and raise the low-frequency. Negative (–) settings will raise the high-fre-

quency and lower the low-frequency. With a setting of 0, all ranges will have the same threshold level.

CMP.THRE –24.0—0.0 dB

Compressor threshold level. When the level of the input signal (original sound) exceeds this level,

the portion above this level will be compressed by the CMP.RAT.

CMP.RAT 1:1—20:1

Compression ratio. When the input signal level exceeds CMP.THRE, the portion of the signal

above that level will be compressed by this ratio.

CMP.ATK 0—120 ms

Compressor attack time. This is the time from when the input signal level exceeds CMP.THRE

until the maximum compression is reached.

You can use this when you want to retain the attacks of the original signal.

CMP.REL

*a. The range of this parameter depends on the sampling frequency at which the SPX2000 is operating.

44.1 kHz: 6 ms—46.0 s

48 kHz: 5 ms—42.3 s

88.2 kHz: 3 ms—23.0 s

96 kHz: 3 ms—21.1 s

Compressor release time. The original signal level is not resumed the instant the input signal falls

below CMP.THRE; the signal will gradually return to its original level over the duration of this

value.

CEILING –6.0—0.0 dB, OFF

Upper limit of the output level. Signals that exceed this value will be restricted to this value. If you

select OFF, this restriction will be defeated.

EXP.THRE –54.0—–24.0 dB

Expander threshold level. When the input signal falls below this level, it will be compressed by the

EXP.RATIO.

EXP.RAT 1:1—∞:1

Expander ratio. When the input signal level falls below EXP.THRE, it will be compressed by this ratio.

EXP.REL

44.1 kHz: 6 ms—46.0 s

48 kHz: 5 ms—42.3 s

88.2 kHz: 3 ms—23.0 s

96 kHz: 3 ms—21.1 s

Expander release time. This is the time from when the input signal falls below EXP.THRE until the

maximum expander effect is reached.

LIM.THRE –12.0—0.0 dB

Limiter threshold level. When the input signal (original sound) exceeds this level, it will be

restricted to this value.

LIM.ATK 0—120 ms

Limiter attack time. This is the time from when the input signal exceeds LIM.THRE until maxi-

mum limiting is reached.

You can use this when you want to retain the attacks of the original signal.

LIM.REL

44.1 kHz: 6 ms—46.0 s

48 kHz: 5 ms—42.3 s

88.2 kHz: 3 ms—23.0 s

96 kHz: 3 ms—21.1 s

Effect list

The following tables show the default parameter values for the effects belonging to the Multi-band Dynamics Processor type

(PRESET bank).

■Basic parameters

■Fine parameters

Parameter name Range Explanation

MIX BAL. 0—100%

Balance between the original sound and effect sound. At a setting of 0% only the original sound

will be output; at a setting of 100% only the effect sound will be output.

CMP.KNEE 0—5

Compressor knee. If this is set to 0, compression will begin immediately when the input signal

exceeds CMP.THRE; i.e., the level will begin changing suddenly. With a setting of 1 or above, com-

pression will begin before the point at which the signal exceeds CMP.THRE, so that the compres-

sion produces a smoother change in level. This will produce a less obtrusive transition for the level

change produced by the compressor.

LOOKUP 0.0—100.0 ms

Lookup delay. Normally you will leave this at 0.0 ms. If you want the input signal to be read ahead

of time so that the level can be controlled more quickly, set this to a value of 0.1 ms or greater; the

compressor, expander, and limiter will begin functioning ahead of the input signal.

CMP.BYP ON, OFF

Compressor bypass. If this is ON, the compressor will be bypassed, and will not do anything.

L-M XOVR 21.2 Hz—8.00 kHz

Crossover frequency between the low and mid ranges. This parameter speciﬁes the frequency that

will be the boundary between the low-frequency and mid-frequency ranges.

M-H XOVR 21.2 Hz—8.00 kHz

Crossover frequency between the mid and high ranges. This parameter speciﬁes the frequency that

will be the boundary between the mid-frequency and high-frequency ranges.

SLOPE –6 dB, –12 dB

Attenuation of the ﬁlter that divides the frequency bands. –12 dB produces greater attenuation

than –6 dB, dividing the frequency bands more sharply.

EXP.BYP ON, OFF

Expander bypass. If this is ON, the expander will be bypassed, and will not do anything.

LIM.BYP ON, OFF

Limiter bypass. If this is ON, the limiter will be bypassed, and will not do anything.

LIM.KNEE 0—5

Limiter knee. If this is set to 0, limiting will begin immediately when the input signal exceeds

LIM.THRE; i.e., the level will begin changing suddenly. With a setting of 1 or above, limiting will

begin before the point at which the signal exceeds LIM.THRE, so that the limiting produces a

smoother change in level. This will produce a less obtrusive transition for the level change pro-

duced by the limiter.

will be output; at a setting of 100% only the effect sound will be output.

ACCEL 0—10

Rate of acceleration when switching between rotation speeds (SLOW, FAST). With higher settings,

the transition between speeds will occur more quickly. Since an actual rotary speaker must acceler-

ate or decelerate an object (the speaker) that has a given amount of mass, a certain length of time is

required for the change to occur. This parameter simulates this phenomenon.

MIDI

You can use MIDI to remotely control the SPX2000. This chapter explains how to make

preparations for using MIDI, what you can do using MIDI, and the MIDI data format.

Preparations for using

MIDI

In order to use the SPX2000’s MIDI functionality, you

must make the following preparations.

1 Connect your MIDI device

Connect your device using either of the following con-

nectors.

• [MIDI IN] connector (T) and [MIDI OUT/THRU]

connector (S)

•[TO HOST USB] connector (U)

2 If you are using the [MIDI OUT/THRU] connec-

tor, set it to “MIDI OUT” (page 21)

3 Select the MIDI port that you want to use

Use the Utility setting “MIDI PORT GENERAL” to

make this selection (page 21).

4 Select the MIDI channel that you want to use

(page 21).

5 Enable MIDI message reception (page 23)

What you can do using

MIDI

On the SPX2000 you can use MIDI to do the following six

things.

• Recall effects

You can remotely select/recall effects from a MIDI device

connected to the [MIDI IN] connector (T) or [TO

HOST USB] connector (U).

In order to do this, you must ﬁrst create a MIDI pro-

gram change table on the SPX2000. For details, refer to

“Editing the MIDI program change table” (page 22).

MIDI messages used:

Control change (Bank select) + Program change

• Control parameters

You can control the SPX2000’s effect parameters from a

MIDI device connected to the [MIDI IN] connector

(T) or [TO HOST USB] connector (U).

The control method and content will depend on the

MIDI messages you use.

MIDI messages used:

Note on/off, Control change, Parameter change

• Bulk dump SPX2000 internal data

You can transmit the SPX2000’s data to a MIDI device

connected to the [MIDI OUT/THRU] connector (S) or

[TO HOST USB] connector (U) (page 23). Conversely,

the SPX2000 can receive data from a MIDI device con-

nected to the [MIDI IN] connector to overwrite the

SPX2000’s internal data.

MIDI messages used: Bulk dump

• Synchronize with another MIDI device

The SPX2000 can synchronize to MIDI Clock messages

received from a MIDI device connected to the [MIDI

IN] connector (T) or [TO HOST USB] connector (U).

In order to do this, you must set the tempo synchroniza-

tion source to “MIDI CLOCK” (page 23).

MIDI messages used: MIDI clock

• Check the MIDI connection status

The SPX2000 can check whether there is a correctly

functioning connection with a MIDI device connected

to the [MIDI IN] connector (T), [MIDI OUT/THRU]

connector (S), or [TO HOST USB] connector (U).

MIDI messages used: Active sensing

• Initialize MIDI communication

You can initialize MIDI communication, for example if a

communication error has occurred.

MIDI messages used: Reset

Bulk Dump messages are used to bulk dump SPX2000 data to a con-

nected MIDI device (see page 23) , or to receive data from a connected

MIDI device to overwrite internal settings of the SPX2000.

Bulk Dump Request messages request a bulk dump of data from the

SPX2000.

• Reception conditions

This message is received if the following two conditions are satisﬁed.

1) The “MIDI RECEIVE” setting (page 23) is “SYSEX BLKDMP = ON”.

2) The device number within the MIDI message matches the

SPX2000’s MIDI channel, or the SPX2000’s MIDI channel is set to

OMNI.

•Transmission conditions

This message is transmitted when either of the following conditions

are met.

•The “BULK OUT (ALL)” function is executed to perform a bulk

dump.

•A Bulk Dump Request message is received.

• Data conversion

The data portion is handled by converting seven words of 8-bit data

into eight words of 7-bit data.

[Converting actual data into bulk data]

d[0~6]: Actual data

b[0~7]: Bulk data

b[0] = 0;

for( I=0; I<7; I++){

■ 2.8.2.18 Parameter change (Remote Meter)

When the SPX2000 receives a Parameter Request (Remote Meter) mes-

sage, it will transmit this message. The content is data for the speciﬁed

meter. This is transmitted at 50 msec intervals for ten seconds. If you

want meter data to continue being transmitted, you must transmit a

Request message at intervals of less than ten seconds. However if the port

is being used for other communication, transmission of meter data may

be interrupted.

The device number used when transmitting meter data will be the MIDI

channel of the SPX2000. If the MIDI channel is OMNI, the device num-

ber will be 1.

When the SPX2000 receives a Request message with an Address UL =

0x7F, transmission of all meter data will be halted immediately. Transmis-

sion will also stop if the power is turned off and on again while transmit-

ting meter data, or if the MIDI port setting is changed.

Troubleshooting

If the SPX2000 does not function as you expect, or if you suspect a problem, please check the following points.

Power does not turn on

•Is the power cable connected to an AC outlet of the correct voltage?

•Is the POWER switch turned ON?

The input sound is not sent from

the outputs

•Is your external equipment correctly connected with the SPX2000?

•Could the cables connected to/from your external equipment be broken?

•Is a signal being input from your external device?

•Is the [INPUT L R] control (1) set to an appropriate level?

•Is the INPUT SOURCE set appropriately? (For details, refer to page 19.)

•Is the CLOCK SOURCE set appropriately? (For details, refer to page 18.)

•Could output-related parameters such as OUT LVL and LEVEL be set to 0%?

•Is the signal output when you turn the [BYPASS] button (M) on? (Some

effects do not output a signal at all times.)

Noise is heard in the output • Is the CLOCK SOURCE set appropriately? (For details, refer to page 18.)

Signal level does not match the

external device

•Are the rear panel [OUTPUT –10 dBu/+4 dBu] switch and the [INPUT –10

dBu/+4 dBu] switch set correctly?

Some buttons are inoperable

•Could the [UTILITY] button be on (LED lit)? (see page 8)

•Could the [COMPARE] button be on (LED blinking)? (see page 16)

TEMPO and NOTE settings do not

produce the timing you expect

•Is the SYNC setting turned on? (For details, refer to page 15.)

Can’t transfer MIDI data

•Have you made the correct preparations for using MIDI? (see page 88)

•Is the MIDI cable (USB cable) connected correctly?

•Could the MIDI cable (USB cable) be broken?

PRESET bank This bank contains a total of 97 effects; 80 effects based on new algorithms and ranging from standard to distinctive, and 17 newlydeveloped reverb (REV-X) effects. The effects in this bank are read-only. CLASSIC bank This bank contains 25 simple and easy-to-use effects based on early models of the SPX series. The effects in this bank are read-only. USER bank When shipped, this bank does not contain effects. You can edit effects from the PRESET bank or CLASSIC bank and store them as your own original effects in the USER bank. Once you have stored an effect, you can recall and use it in the same way as the effects of the PRESET bank or CLASSIC bank. You can store 99 effects in this bank.

NOTE: If the display indicates “NO FINE PARAMETER,” an effect from the CLASSIC bank is recalled. The effects of the CLASSIC bank do not have Fine parameters. Use the [PARAMETER] button to select the Basic parameters. Setting the tempo Some effects have a Tempo parameter. You can edit the Tempo parameter in any of the following five ways. • Use the [▲ INC]/[▼ DEC] button (G) This is the same method as when editing other parameters. • Use the [TAP] button (N) When you press the [TAP] button (N) two or more times, the average interval will be calculated and set as the Tempo value. If you want to use this method, set “TEMPO SOURCE” (page 23) to specify “TAP” as the synchronization source. • Use the foot switch When you press the foot switch (optional) two or more times, the average interval will be calculated and set as the Tempo value. If you want to use this method, use the following procedure. 1. Connect an optional foot switch (e.g., FC5) to the [FOOT SW] jack (O). 2. Set the “TEMPO SOURCE” setting (page 23) to specify “TAP” as the synchronization source. • Use MIDI clock The interval of MIDI Clock messages can be used to set the Tempo value. If you want to use this method, set “TEMPO SOURCE” (page 23) to specify “MIDI” as the synchronization source. • Use MIDI control changes The value specified by a MIDI Control Change message can be used to set the Tempo value. By using this method you can control the SPX2000’s Tempo value from a connected external MIDI device. 14 SPX2000—Owner’s Manual Effects and tempo synchronization Some of the SPX2000’s effects allow you to synchronize the effect with the tempo. There are two such types of effect; delaytype effects and modulation-type effects. For delay-type effects, the delay time will change according to the tempo. For modulation-type effects, the frequency of the modulation signal will change according to the tempo. • Parameters related to tempo synchronization The following five parameters are related to tempo synchronization. 1) SYNC 2) NOTE 3) TEMPO 4) DELAY 5) FREQ. Operation SYNC: ........................................ This is the on/off switch for tempo synchronization. NOTE and TEMPO: ................. These are the basic parameters for tempo synchronization. DELAY and FREQ.:................... DELAY is the delay time, and FREQ. is the frequency of the modulation signal. These directly affect the way in which the effect sound will change. DELAY is relevant only for delay-type effects, and FREQ. is relevant only for modulation-type effects. • How the parameters are related Tempo synchronization uses TEMPO and NOTE to calculate a value that will be the basis for the tempo, and continues making adjustments so that this tempo basis stays essentially the same as the DELAY (or FREQ.). This means that when TEMPO, NOTE, and DELAY (or FREQ.) are synchronized, and you change any of these values, the other parameters will be re-set in order to maintain the correct relationship. The parameters that are re-set and the calculation method(*a) used are as follows. If you turn SYNC on → NOTE will be set If you edit DELAY (or FREQ.) → NOTE will be set In this case, the NOTE value is calculated as follows. NOTE = DELAY (or FREQ.)/(4 x (60/TEMPO)) If you edit NOTE → DELAY (or FREQ.) will be set In this case, the DELAY (or FREQ.) value is calculated as follows. DELAY (or FREQ.) = NOTE x 4 x (60/TEMPO) If you edit TEMPO → DELAY (or FREQ.) will be set In this case, the DELAY (or FREQ.) value is calculated as follows. DELAY (or FREQ.) = original DELAY (or FREQ.) x (previous TEMPO/new TEMPO) Example 1: When SYNC=ON, DELAY=250 ms, TEMPO=120, you change NOTE from 8th note to quarter note DELAY= new NOTE x 4 x (60/TEMPO) = (1/4) x 4 x (60/120) = 0.5 (sec) = 500 ms Thus, the DELAY will change from 250 ms to 500 ms. Example 2: When SYNC=ON, DELAY=250 ms, NOTE=8th note, you change TEMPO from 120 to 121 DELAY= original DELAY x (previous TEMPO/new TEMPO) = 250 x (120/121) = 247.9 (ms) Thus, the TEMPO will change from 250 ms to 247.9 ms. *a Rounded values are used for the calculation results. • Ranges of the NOTE and TEMPO values The ranges of the NOTE and TEMPO values are limited by the ranges of the DELAY or FREQ. values. You cannot set NOTE or TEMPO values that would cause DELAY or FREQ. to exceed their maximum possible values when synchronized to tempo. This limitation also applies even when SYNC is OFF. • Special characteristics of the TEMPO parameter The TEMPO parameter has the following characteristics that are unlike other parameters. • It is a common value shared by all effects • It cannot be stored/recalled (the value is not saved) This means that the TEMPO value may not necessarily be the same when an effect is recalled as when that effect was stored. Here is an example. Store the effect: TEMPO=120 → Change TEMPO to 60 → Recall the effect: TEMPO=60 Normally when you change the TEMPO, the DELAY (or FREQ.) will be re-set accordingly. However if the DELAY (or FREQ.) were changed, the effect would sound differently when recalled than when it was stored. To prevent the effect from changing in this way between store and recall, the SPX2000 does not update the DELAY (or FREQ.) value when an effect is recalled, even if the TEMPO is no longer the same as when that effect was stored. = 1/48 = 1/24 = 1/16 = 1/12 = 3/32 = 1/8 = 1/6 = 3/16 = 1/4 = 3/8 = 1/2 = 3/4 = 1/1 = 2/1 SPX2000—Owner’s Manual 15 Check the edited effect Press the [COMPARE] button (I) to compare the original effect with the edited version. → Each time you press this button, the [COMPARE] LED will alternate between lit and blinking.

WHITE CYAN MAGENTA YELLOW GREEN Selecting the Utility function Press the [BACK] button NOTE: If the display indicates “WRONG WORD CLOCK!”, the word clock signal from the external device has either been interrupted or is a frequency to which the SPX2000 cannot synchronize. Check whether there might be a problem with the connection from the device supplying the word clock, or an incorrect word clock setting. If this occurs, the word clock source will automatically switch to one of the SPX2000’s internal clocks until an acceptable word clock is supplied from the external device. You can choose one of the following six word clock sources. • WORD CLOCK: Clock data received from the • AES/EBU: • INT44.1kHz: • INT48kHz: to move to the preceding function. • INT88.2kHz: Press and hold the [BACK] button • INT96kHz: to continue moving through the preceding functions. Press the [NEXT] button or [UTILITY] button to move to the following function. Press and hold the [UTILITY] button to continue moving through the functions. * For some functions, the [BACK] button and [NEXT] button are used to move the cursor. 18 SPX2000—Owner’s Manual [WORD CLOCK IN] jack (V) Clock data received from the [AES/ EBU IN] jack (X) Internal clock (44.1 kHz) Internal clock (48 kHz) Internal clock (88.2 kHz) Internal clock (96 kHz) NOTES: • The SPX2000 extracts the sampling frequency from the clock frequency. This means that the word clock frequency = the sampling frequency. • When INT44.1 kHz–INT 96 kHz is selected, noise may occur or the output may be muted if the word clock and the input signal cannot be synchronized correctly The signal used to synchronize digital audio signal processing is called “word clock.” When two or more digital devices are connected in order to send and receive digital audio signals, each digital device must process the signal at the same timing. Even if all connected devices are set to the same clock frequency, the signals will not be transmitted and received correctly if the processing timing does not match, or you may hear noise. In order for digital audio signals to be synchronized, one digital device must transmit the clock (synchronization data), and the other devices must be set to receive this clock. In such a setup, the device that supplies the synchronization reference clock is called the “CLOCK MASTER,” and the receiving devices are called “CLOCK SLAVES.” To use the SPX2000 as the clock master, set the “CLOCK SOURCE” function (page 18) to either INT96kHz, INT88.2kHz, INT48kHz, or INT44.1. To use the SPX2000 as a clock slave, use either of the following two methods. 1 Set the “CLOCK SOURCE” function (page 18) to AES/EBU, and connect the AES/EBU format compatible device supplying the clock data to the [AES/EBU IN] jack (X). 2 Set the “CLOCK SOURCE” function (page 18) to WORD CLOCK, and connect the device supplying the clock to the [WORD CLOCK IN] jack (V). When doing so, the device supplying the clock must be connected one-to-one with the SPX2000. Selecting the input source Here’s how to select either the signal from the [INPUT] jacks ([) or the signal from the [AES/EBU IN] jack (X) as the input source. 1 Select the “INPUT SOURCE” function Press the [UTILITY] button (L) several times to select “INPUT SOURCE.” INPUT SOURCE *ANALOG DIGITAL 2 Select the input source Press the [▲ INC] button (G) to select DIGITAL ([AES/EBU IN] jack), or press the [▼ DEC] button (G) to select ANALOG ([INPUT] jacks).

Reverberation varies in a complex way according to factors such as the size of the room and the material of the walls. You can use this type of effect to simulate these changes, producing a wide range of reverberation. Reverberation can be divided into two categories of sound; early reflections and the subsequent reverberation. Early reflections are the sounds that reach your ear after being reflected only once from the walls or ceiling. The subsequent reverberation is the “wash” of sound that reaches your ear after reflecting multiple times from the walls and ceiling. The SPX2000 provides two types of reverb; those that allow you to independently control the early reflections and the reverberation, and those that control these two as a single unit. The SPX2000 also provides gated reverbs. These effects pass the signal through a gate so that reverb is added only while the gate is open. One way to use these effects is to add only reverb that exceeds a specified level, and close the gate to cut the slowly decaying reverberation. The differences between the various types of reverb are as follows.

The value shown in the table is for fs = 96 kHz. 32 SPX2000—Owner’s Manual Reverb & Gate (CLASSIC bank) This is a gated reverb (also called gate echo). You can use this effect to add only a portion of the reverberation. Each aspect of the sound is controlled by the following effect parameters. Reverberation: REV TIME, HI.RATIO, DELAY Gating: TRG. LVL, HOLD, RELEASE, MIDI TRG Filter/equalizer: HPF, LPF Output level: OUT LVL, MIX BAL. Parameter details Parameter name Range Explanation REV TIME 0.3—99.0 s HI.RATIO 0.1—1.0 Reverb time. This is expressed as the time over which reverberation at 1 kHz will decay by 60 dB. Reverb time for the high-frequency range, expressed as a proportion of REV TIME. If this value is 0.1 the time will be 1/10th the REV TIME; if it is 1.0 the time will be the same as the REV TIME. You can adjust these values to simulate the absorptiveness of the walls and ceiling. HI.RATIO is the decay of the high-frequency range. Delay of the reverberation relative to the original sound. A filter that cuts the low-frequency portion of the effect.

SPX2000—Owner’s Manual 33 Reverb ■Basic parameters What is a Gate? A “gate” is a device or circuit that passes or blocks a signal. Gates are provided on the SPX2000’s Reverb (PRESET bank) and Reverb & Gate (CLASSIC bank) effects, and can be used to control the reverberation. For example you can use a gate to apply reverberation only to signals that exceed a specified level, or to suddenly cut the decaying “tail” of the reverberation so that the reverberation ends suddenly. The various gate-related parameters are explained below. • Threshold Level This is the signal level at which the gate will open. The gate will open when the input signal exceeds this level, and will remain open as long as the signal remains above this level. On the SPX2000, this is controlled by parameters such as GATE LVL, TRG.LVL. Level Original sound Effect sound Threshold level Hold time Release time (Decay time) Time • Attack Time/Release Time (Decay Time) To prevent sudden “jumps” in the sound when the input signal exceeds or falls below the threshold level, you can make the gate open or close gradually over a specified length of time. The time from when the gate begins to open until it opens completely is called the Attack Time, and the time from when it begins to close until it closes completely is called the Release Time (or Decay Time). On the SPX2000, the Attack Time is controlled by parameters such as ATTACK, and the Release Time is controlled by parameters such as DECAY, RELEASE. • Hold Time This is the time that the gate will remain open after the signal falls below the threshold level. If the level of the signal changes irregularly, the gate will open and close at short intervals. This will cause the sound to be alternately interrupted and passed, making it sound unsteady and jumpy. In such cases, you can adjust the Hold Time so that the gate will remain open for a time even after the signal falls below the threshold level; this will prevent the gate from opening and closing so frequently. However, be aware that if you set the Hold Time longer than necessary, the gate will remain open all the time, and will therefore have no effect on the sound. On the SPX2000, the Hold Time is controlled by the HOLD parameter. 34 SPX2000—Owner’s Manual Early Reflection These effects add early reflections. Early reflections are the sounds that reach your ear after being reflected only once from the walls or ceiling. In contrast, the “wash” of sound that reaches your ear after reflecting multiple times from the walls and ceiling is called “subsequent reverberation.” In nature, early reflections will be followed by subsequent reverberation, but the Early Reflection effects omit this, producing a tighter sound. These effects can produce interesting results when applied to drums, percussion, or guitar. The differences between the effects are summarized below. Type Bank Early Reflection, Gate Reverb, Reverse Gate PRESET Early Reflection, Gate Reverb, Reverse Gate CLASSIC No. of INs/OUTs 1IN/2OUT Explanation Parameters can be controlled in detail Simpler operation; fewer controllable parameters than the PRESET bank effects Early Reflection, Gate Reverb, Reverse Gate (PRESET bank) Level Original sound INI.DLY Time ER Early Reflection is the basic effect of this type, and Gate Reverb is based on the popular effect of the same name.

Using one signal to vary another signal is called “modulation.” The signal that is being varied is called the “carrier,” and the signal that is creating the modulation is called the “modulator.” Modulation-type effects can vary the volume, the pitch, or the delay time of the effect sound to produce “swooshing” or “twisting” sounds (flanger, phaser) or cyclic changes in volume (tremolo) or position (auto pan). The SPX2000 can use the signal of an oscillator as the modulator to apply cyclic change, or use the input signal itself or MIDI messages to apply change.

Amount of pitch change for the playback, in units of one cent (1/100th of a semitone). Positive (+) settings will make the playback pitch higher than the original pitch, and negative (–) settings will lower it. This specifies the base key for incoming MIDI note-on messages. When a note-on message is received, the PITCH value will be set by the difference between this setting and the value of the note-on. For example if you set BASE KEY as C4, a received note-on message of C3 will cause PITCH to be set to –12, making the sample play one octave lower than the original pitch. If you set this parameter as C2, a received note-on message of D2 will cause PITCH to be set to +2, making the sample play two semitones higher than the original pitch. If this parameter is OFF, MIDI noteon messages will not be received. Output level after the original sound and effect sound have been mixed. Decrease this value if you want to lower the output.

Raising this value will boost the high-frequency range. This setting varies the effect separately for each range. Positive (+) settings of this value will lower the high-frequency threshold level and raise the low-frequency. Negative (–) settings will raise the high-frequency and lower the low-frequency. With a setting of 0, all ranges will have the same threshold level. Compressor threshold level. When the level of the input signal (original sound) exceeds this level, the portion above this level will be compressed by the CMP.RAT. Compression ratio. When the input signal level exceeds CMP.THRE, the portion of the signal above that level will be compressed by this ratio. Compressor attack time. This is the time from when the input signal level exceeds CMP.THRE until the maximum compression is reached. You can use this when you want to retain the attacks of the original signal.

At a setting of 0% only the original sound will be output; at a setting of 100% only the effect sound will be output. Compressor knee. If this is set to 0, compression will begin immediately when the input signal exceeds CMP.THRE; i.e., the level will begin changing suddenly. With a setting of 1 or above, compression will begin before the point at which the signal exceeds CMP.THRE, so that the compression produces a smoother change in level. This will produce a less obtrusive transition for the level change produced by the compressor. Lookup delay. Normally you will leave this at 0.0 ms. If you want the input signal to be read ahead of time so that the level can be controlled more quickly, set this to a value of 0.1 ms or greater; the compressor, expander, and limiter will begin functioning ahead of the input signal. Compressor bypass. If this is ON, the compressor will be bypassed, and will not do anything. Crossover frequency between the low and mid ranges. This parameter specifies the frequency that will be the boundary between the low-frequency and mid-frequency ranges. Crossover frequency between the mid and high ranges. This parameter specifies the frequency that will be the boundary between the mid-frequency and high-frequency ranges. Attenuation of the filter that divides the frequency bands. –12 dB produces greater attenuation than –6 dB, dividing the frequency bands more sharply. Expander bypass. If this is ON, the expander will be bypassed, and will not do anything. Limiter bypass. If this is ON, the limiter will be bypassed, and will not do anything. Limiter knee. If this is set to 0, limiting will begin immediately when the input signal exceeds LIM.THRE; i.e., the level will begin changing suddenly. With a setting of 1 or above, limiting will begin before the point at which the signal exceeds LIM.THRE, so that the limiting produces a smoother change in level. This will produce a less obtrusive transition for the level change produced by the limiter. These are Solo settings. Only the bands that are turned ON will be output.

This chapter explains how to make preparations for using MIDI, what you can do using MIDI, and the MIDI data format. Preparations for using MIDI What you can do using MIDI In order to use the SPX2000’s MIDI functionality, you must make the following preparations. On the SPX2000 you can use MIDI to do the following six things. 1 Connect your MIDI device • Recall effects You can remotely select/recall effects from a MIDI device connected to the [MIDI IN] connector (T) or [TO HOST USB] connector (U). In order to do this, you must first create a MIDI program change table on the SPX2000. For details, refer to “Editing the MIDI program change table” (page 22). Connect your device using either of the following connectors. • [MIDI IN] connector (T) and [MIDI OUT/THRU] connector (S) • [TO HOST USB] connector (U) 2 If you are using the [MIDI OUT/THRU] connector, set it to “MIDI OUT” (page 21) 3 Select the MIDI port that you want to use Use the Utility setting “MIDI PORT GENERAL” to make this selection (page 21). 4 Select the MIDI channel that you want to use (page 21). 5 Enable MIDI message reception (page 23) MIDI messages used: Control change (Bank select) + Program change • Control parameters You can control the SPX2000’s effect parameters from a MIDI device connected to the [MIDI IN] connector (T) or [TO HOST USB] connector (U). The control method and content will depend on the MIDI messages you use. MIDI messages used: Note on/off, Control change, Parameter change • Bulk dump SPX2000 internal data You can transmit the SPX2000’s data to a MIDI device connected to the [MIDI OUT/THRU] connector (S) or [TO HOST USB] connector (U) (page 23). Conversely, the SPX2000 can receive data from a MIDI device connected to the [MIDI IN] connector to overwrite the SPX2000’s internal data. MIDI messages used: Bulk dump • Synchronize with another MIDI device The SPX2000 can synchronize to MIDI Clock messages received from a MIDI device connected to the [MIDI IN] connector (T) or [TO HOST USB] connector (U). In order to do this, you must set the tempo synchronization source to “MIDI CLOCK” (page 23). MIDI messages used: MIDI clock • Check the MIDI connection status The SPX2000 can check whether there is a correctly functioning connection with a MIDI device connected to the [MIDI IN] connector (T), [MIDI OUT/THRU] connector (S), or [TO HOST USB] connector (U). MIDI messages used: Active sensing • Initialize MIDI communication You can initialize MIDI communication, for example if a communication error has occurred. MIDI messages used: Reset 88 SPX2000—Owner’s Manual MIDI data format 1. Format summary 2. Format details 'tx' indicates that the SPX2000 can transmit the message.

However if the port is being used for other communication, transmission of meter data may be interrupted. The device number used when transmitting meter data will be the MIDI channel of the SPX2000. If the MIDI channel is OMNI, the device number will be 1. When the SPX2000 receives a Request message with an Address UL = 0x7F, transmission of all meter data will be halted immediately. Transmission will also stop if the power is turned off and on again while transmitting meter data, or if the MIDI port setting is changed. • Format STATUS ID No. 11110000 01000011 SUB STATUS 0001nnnn GROUP ID MODEL ID ADDRESS 00011110 00001001 00100001 0mmmmmmm 0mmmmmmm 0mmmmmmm 0ddddddd 0ddddddd : 11110111 DATA EOX F0 43 mm mm mm dd dd F7 System exclusive message Manufacture’s ID number (YAMAHA) 1n n=0-15 (Device number=Device No-1) 1E MODEL ID (signal processor) 09 SPX2000 21 Remote meter ADDRESS UL ADDRESS LU ADDRESS LL Data1 H Data1 L : End of exclusive ■ 2.8.2.19 Parameter request (Remote Meter) • Format STATUS ID No. 11110000 01000011 SUB STATUS 0011nnnn GROUP ID MODEL ID ADDRESS 00011110 00001001 00100001 0mmmmmmm 0mmmmmmm 0mmmmmmm 0ccccccc 0ccccccc 11110111 EOX 94 F0 43 1E 09 21 mm mm mm ch cl F7 System exclusive message Manufacture’s ID number (YAMAHA) 3n n=0-15 (Device number=Device No-1) MODEL ID (signal processor) SPX2000 Remote meter ADDRESS UL ADDRESS LU ADDRESS LL Count H Count L End of exclusive SPX2000—Owner’s Manual MIDI Control Change Parameter Assignment Table PRESET bank CC # REV-X Stereo reverb Reverb Early Reflection Mono delay Stereo delay Modulation delay Delay L,C,R 1 REV TIME REV TIME INI.DLY TYPE DELAY DELAY L DELAY DELAY L 2 INI.DLY REV TYPE REV TIME ROOMSIZE DELAY C DELAY R 3 HI.RATIO INI.DLY HI.RATIO LIVENESS FB.GAIN FB.G L FB.GAIN 4 LO.RATIO HI.RATIO LO.RATIO INI.DLY HI.RATIO FB.G R HI.RATIO 5 DIFF.

After you have saved the data, contact your Yamaha dealer to have the backup battery replaced. MIDI Framing Error! A MIDI framing error has occurred. Press any button to cancel the error message. Then try transmitting the MIDI data once again. MIDI OUT is NOT Selected! Since the “MIDI OUT/THRU” connector (S) is set to “THRU,” MIDI messages cannot be transmitted. If you want to transmit MIDI messages, use the “MIDI OUT SETUP” (page 21) function to set the [MIDI OUT/ THRU] connector to “OUT.” MIDI Overrun Error! A MIDI overrun error has occurred. Press any button to cancel the error message. Then try transmitting the MIDI data once again. MIDI Parity Error! A MIDI parity error has occurred. Press any button to cancel the error message. Then try transmitting the MIDI data once again. MIDI Rx Buffer Full! The MIDI reception buffer is full. Press any button to cancel the error message. Then try transmitting the MIDI data once again. If the error occurs again, try increasing the spacing between the MIDI data that is transmitted, or take other measures to prevent a large amount of MIDI data from being transmitted at once. NO FINE PARAMETER This effect has no Fine parameters. Effects of the CLASSIC bank have no Fine parameters; this message will appear if you press the [FINE PARAM] button for an effect of the CLASSIC bank. Use the [PARAMETER] button to select Basic parameters. Not Available in Compare Mode! You pressed an unavailable button while comparing the effect (while the [COMPARE] LED is blinking). Press the [COMPARE] button to defeat Compare before you perform the desired operation. Operation Locked! The button etc. you attempted to operate has been disabled by the “OPERATION LOCK” function. Defeat the restriction as necessary. For details, refer to “Restricting operation of the SPX2000” on page 19. PORT GENERAL is Selected OFF! MIDI messages cannot be transmitted because the MIDI port (GENERAL) is turned OFF. If you want to transmit MIDI messages, set the “MIDI PORT GENERAL” setting (page 21) to the port that you want to use for MIDI message transmission and reception. U## Program is Empty! There is no effect to recall. Please re-select an effect to recall. Sync Error! The clock of the received digital input signal differs from the SPX2000’s operating clock. For details, refer to “About word clock” (page 19). This BANK is Protected! You selected the PRESET bank or CLASSIC bank as the effect store-destination. Since the PRESET bank and CLASSIC bank are read-only, you cannot change store to these effects, or change the effect name, protect setting, or display background color. Press any button to cancel the error message. Then select a store-destination from the USER bank. This Program is Protected! The effect store-destination is protected. Press any button to cancel the error message. Then defeat the protect setting as desired. For details, refer to “Protecting an effect” on page 17. USB Rx Buffer Full!

WRONG WORD CLOCK! The word clock signal from an external device has been interrupted, or is a frequency to which the SPX2000 cannot synchronize. Check whether there are any problems with the connection from the device supplying the word clock, and verify that the word clock settings are correct. For details, refer to “About word clock” (page 19). SPX2000—Owner’s Manual 97 Troubleshooting If the SPX2000 does not function as you expect, or if you suspect a problem, please check the following points. Power does not turn on The input sound is not sent from the outputs • Is the power cable connected to an AC outlet of the correct voltage? • Is the POWER switch turned ON? • • • • • • • • Is your external equipment correctly connected with the SPX2000? Could the cables connected to/from your external equipment be broken? Is a signal being input from your external device? Is the [INPUT L R] control (1) set to an appropriate level? Is the INPUT SOURCE set appropriately? (For details, refer to page 19.) Is the CLOCK SOURCE set appropriately? (For details, refer to page 18.) Could output-related parameters such as OUT LVL and LEVEL be set to 0%? Is the signal output when you turn the [BYPASS] button (M) on? (Some effects do not output a signal at all times.) Noise is heard in the output • Is the CLOCK SOURCE set appropriately? (For details, refer to page 18.) Signal level does not match the external device • Are the rear panel [OUTPUT –10 dBu/+4 dBu] switch and the [INPUT –10 dBu/+4 dBu] switch set correctly? Some buttons are inoperable • Could the [UTILITY] button be on (LED lit)? (see page 8) • Could the [COMPARE] button be on (LED blinking)? (see page 16) TEMPO and NOTE settings do not produce the timing you expect Can’t transfer MIDI data 98 SPX2000—Owner’s Manual • Is the SYNC setting turned on? (For details, refer to page 15.) • Have you made the correct preparations for using MIDI? (see page 88) • Is the MIDI cable (USB cable) connected correctly? • Could the MIDI cable (USB cable) be broken?
