Section 4 - Algorithms
About Presets
The complete DP / 4 setup, including the values of all unit and config parameters, is saved when
you save a Config Preset. The DP / 4 is smart about switching effects, since all sound must stop
for an instant when it changes effects.
When are New Algorithms Loaded into the ESP Chips?
• When you select an algorithm from one of the internal ROM or RAM banks, the algorithm
and its parameters will be loaded into the ESP (s), and you will hear that algorithm.
• When you select a 1, 2, 4 or Config preset, the algorithm and its parameters will be loaded
into the ESP(s).
• When you bypass the units, the algorithms will not be changed.
Whenever a new algorithm is loaded into the ESP(s), the audio output may pause briefly
(depending on the config and type of preset being selected), allowing the instructions which
create the new algorithm to be loaded into the DP / 4. If an algorithm differs only by variation in
parameter values, then this pause may not occur .
Mix and Volume Parameters
56
All of the algorithms in the DP / 4 share common Mix and Volume parameters:
01-Mix Range: 00 to 99
The Mix parameter (always parameter 01) controls the mix between the original (dry) signal and
the fully effected (wet) signal. Setting this parameter to 00 will allow only the unprocessed signal
to be heard, while a setting of 99 will eliminate the dry signal completely, with only the wet
portion remaining. Some algorithms sound best with a blend of wet and dry, whereas some are
optimized at a setting of 99.
02-Volume
Range: 00 to 99
The Volume parameter (always parameter 02) adjusts the output volume of the signal. Setting
this parameter to 00 will eliminate the signal, and any algorithms and/ or configs that follow will
also receive no signal, and will produce no sound.
