Introduction
Welcome!
Congratulations,
and
thank
you
for
your
purchase of the ENSONIQ DP / 4 Parallel Effects
Processor. The
DP
/ 4 is a great
sounding
24-bit digital effects processor combining
four
independent
effects processors,
and
four independent inputs
and
outputs
featuring full
mixdown
capabilities. The DP / 4 is equally
at
home
in
a recording studio,
home
studio, guitar rig, MIDI
setup,
or
PA
system.
The Effects
The ENSONIQ DP
/4
Parallel Effects Processor has over
40
high fidelity fully
programmable
digital effect algorithms. Various reverb, chorusing, flanging, delay, distortion, pitch shifting
and
an
assortment
of other
programs
are
provided
with
dynamic control over
many
of
the
settings.
There
are
400 effect presets; 200 ROM (Read Only Memory)
and
200 additional RAM
(Random
Access Memory) presets for
you
to create
and
edit.
Parallel Processing
While
other
so-called multi-effects processors only allow one
input
signal to be "effected,"
the
DP
/
4'
s four-in, four-out design permits processing of four parallel channels (multi-processing).
There is
only
one
user
interface,
but
up
to four different
input
signals can each go to a
separate
internal signal processor. Multiple
inputs
and
outputs also allow for special types of digital
effects, like vocoding
and
ducking
.
The
DP
/ 4
can
be
used
as one
huge
effects box,
or
two stereo-in effects boxes,
or
three effects
boxes,
or
four separate effects boxes. The routing between the four processing units is completely
programmable,
allowing for
any
combination of serial
and
parallel effects. The DP / 4 also offers
paths
to
feedback the signal,
and
side-chain capability. The variable architecture
and
rich
assortment
of algorithms
provide
for
unusual
effect structures
not
found
in
fixed
routing
systems. The
unique
output
mixing capability can also save
you
mixer return channels
by
mixing
the
stereo
outputs
of the four effects
units
down
to a single stereo
pair
(outputs 1
and
2).
