Kill
Limiter
Glossary
The last
parameter
of a Config Preset gives
you
two
choices of
how
to
mute
effects.
When
set
to
"kill," pressing
two
times
on
a Unit
button
(red
LED lit) will
cause
the
effect
processing
and
dry
signal for
that
unit
to
be
temporarily silenced so
that
you
hear
nothing. "Bypass" is the other choice (see Bypass).
A device
that
will prevent a source signal from going
above
a pre-set
level/threshold.
A
compressor
with
a high compression ratio.
MIDI
Musical
Instrument
Digital Interface. A communication protocol for musical
instruments. MIDI has
expanded
the ability of the electronic musician
by
allowing
control, editing,
and
manipulation of
products
from different manufacturers
through
a
single communication protocol! network.
Mixed
Stereo
An
output
routing option of the
DP
/ 4
that
allows
two
separate
stereo
output
signals to
be digitally combined into a single stereo
output
. The levels of
the
two
signals
are
controllable
in
the
DP
/
4.
Modulation
The
term
used
to described a real-time change to a source signal
or
algorithm
parameter.
Modulation can
be
introduced within
an
algorithm, via MIDI events,
or
by
using
external
input
devices such as the CVP-l
pedal.
An
important feature
in
creating
new
and
evocative sounds.
Multi-Effect
Algorithm
An
algorithm
that
contains
more
than
one effect type. For example, EQ-
. Chorus-DDL.
Parallel Processing A system
with
multiple processors working simultaneously to achieve
greater
speed, efficiency,
and
reliability.
In
the DF /
4,
four
units
are available to
work
in
parallel,
possibly
running
different algorithms,
and
perhaps
different
input
sources.
Parameter
Any
setting of the
DP
/4
which can be changed or modified is called a
parameter.
The
DP
/4
uses a multi-function
panel
through
which
parameters
of
many
different
types
can
be selected
and
controlled. There are four basic types of parameters:
Algorithm parameters System and MIDI parameters for each unit
Config parameters
System (Global) parameters
Parameters are available to be
edited
in
Edit
mode
(for Algorithm
and
Config
parameters)
and
SystemeMIDI
mode
(for System
and
MIDI parameters).
Generally,
in
either of these
two
modes,
you
use the Left
and
Right
Arrow
buttons
to
scroll to the parameter
you
want
to modify,
then
use
the
Data
Entry
Knob
to
change
the
parameter's value.
Parametric EQ
An
algorithm
that
raises or lowers specified frequency regions
in
program
material. A
parametric EQ has variable center frequency, gain,
and
"Q"
-
the
ratio of center frequency
to bandwidth.
Phaser
XVIII
Originally conceived as
an
approximation to the flange effect. Allpass filters
are
used
in
place of the delay lines. Allpass filters introduce delay
by
modifying
signal
phase,
hence
the name.
