[. . . ] The Base Key parameter should be used when triggering the Pitch Transposer from a MIDI keyboard. The values selected in the Base Key parameter correspond to the MIDI Key Number. Example: BASE KEY = 60, (= middle C) if a D above middle C is played, the shift amount will be set to (2). SWEPT OR MODULATED EFFECT ALGORITHMS FLANGER [FLANGER], [FLA] Parameters: :TYPE= FLANGER OFF, POST; REVERB, INV L, INV R, INV L+R, PRE; REVERB, INV L, INV R, INV L+R [POST REVERB] :WIDTH= 0 to 100 percent in % increments [71%] :SPEED= . 04Hz to 27. 3Hz [0. 84Hz] :REGENeration= 0 to 100 percent in % increments [76%] :LEVEL= 0 to 100 percent in % increments [100%] A wide range of flanging effects may be created with the SGX 2000. An inverted flanger type reverses (inverts) one output from the other. The inverted types are listed as INV L and R, where L and R are Left and Right. 26 The base delay of the Flanger is set and the sweep WIDTH and SPEED is user controlled. REGENeration may be adjusted to vary the "strength" of the processed signal. The output level of the FLANGER may be adjusted to control it's "depth" in the preset. When the Flanger TYPE= POST the flanger is positioned last in the chain. This is to assure that maximum effect and presence is maintained in all effects combinations. Using Flanger TYPE= PRE positions the FLANGER in parallel with any Reverb or DDL effect. By positioning the Flanger like this, the processed signal is not delayed or reverberated before it is flanged. CHORUS [CHORUS], [CHO] Parameters: :TYPE= OFF, POST, PRE, [POST] :WIDTH= 0 to 100 percent in % increments [34%] :SPEED= . 04Hz to 27. 3Hz [0. 84hZ] :DELAY= 0 to 47ms in 1 ms increments [30] :LEVEL= 0 to 100 percent in % increments [100%] Chorus may be used to thicken or sweeten the final processed sound. It is created by sweeping a comb filter through a base delay time and generally using between a 30 to 60 percent mix between the dry and wet signal. The base delay time plays an important role in the perception of the effect. Longer base delays are more preferable to give a deep rich sound to vocals and guitars, while shorter base delays are used for more delicate enhancement purposes. The width plays an important role in the range of perceived effect and is best used in conjunction with the speed parameter. Like the FLANGER, the effect type may either be POST or PRE located in relation to reverb or delay. The output level of the CHORUS may be adjusted to control it's "depth" in the preset. PANNER [PANNER], [PAN] Parameters: :MOD % =0 to 100 percent in % increments [100%] :SPEED= . 04Hz to 27. 3Hz [2. 16Hz] MIDI-PAN [MPN] Parameter: POSITN = 0 to 127 in 1 step increments [64] Panning automatically pans the audio image from the left to the right in the stereo sound field. By varying the MODulation, you adjust the "depth" into the stereo field (how far left and right you go). The SPEED merely controls the rate at which you do so. 27 When you choose the Panner, the signal is automatically panned by the SGX 2000 from left to right at a depth and speed you set. Choosing the MIDI-PAN allows you to assign a MIDI Controller to change the signal's position with an Expression Pedal or other MIDI device. [. . . ] The Tuner at this point is inactive, you must change the Refrnc parameter to a string value to activate the Tuner. When you set the Refrnc parameter to Auto, tuning is simplified even more. Auto enables the SGX 2000 EXPRESS to know which string you are trying to tune and automatically switch the Reference parameter to the correct string/frequency. Detune will let you change the reference frequency A 440 plus or minus 2 half steps. [. . . ]
