the
K2000's
collection
of
digital
signal
processing
functions
are
what
give
the
Variable
Architecture
Synthesis
system
its
flexibility.
Within
each
layer's
algorithm,
you
can
select
from
a
long
list
of
DSP
functions
like
filters,
EQ,
oscillators,
and
a
few
that
are
unique
to
the
K2000.
Each
DSP
function
has
a
corresponding
page
which
enables
you
to
assign
numerous
control
sources
to
define
how
the
DSP
functions
affect
the
sound
of
the
program
being
edited.
The
starting
condition
of
a
system.
The
settings
for
the
K2000's
parameters
are
at
their
defaults
when
you
unpack
it,
and
they
stay
there
until
you
change
them.
A
hard
reset
will
erase
RAM
and
restore
all
parameters
to
their
defaults.
A
page
which
prompts
you
to
enter
information
that
the
K2000
needs
in
order
to
execute
an
operation.
Dialogs
appear,
for
example,
when
initiating
a
Save
or
Delete
operation.
A
term
used
widely
in
electronics-related
fields
to
describe
a
method
of
representing
information
as
a
series
of
binary
digits
(bits)
-
Is
and
Os.
Digital
computers
process
these
strings
of
Is
and
Os
by
converting
them
into
an
electrical
signal
that
is
always
in
one
of
two
very
definite
states:
"on"
or
"off."
this
is
much
more
precise
than
the
analog
method,
therefore
digital
computers
can
operate
at
speeds
unattainable
by
analog
devices.
Digital
synthesizers
like
the
K2000
are
actually
computers
which
process
vast
strings
of
digital
information
signals,
eventually
converting
them
(at
the
audio
output)
into
the
analog
signals
which
flow
into
PAs
and
other
audio
systems.
See
also
Analog.
The
only
difference
between
a
drum
program
and
an
ordinary
program
is
the
drum
program
can
contain
up
to
32
layers
instead
of
the
usual
maximum
of
three.
Since
each
layer
has
its
own
keyrnap
and
algorithm
(not
to
mention
all
the
other
control
sources),
this
gives
you
enormous
control
over
whatever
sounds
assigned
tot
he
layers
in
a
drum
program.
Digital
Signal
Processing;
this
term
refers
to
a
vast
range
of
functions,
all
of
which
have
in
common
the
fact
that
they
act
upon
an
electric
current
as
it
flows
through
a
circuit
or
group
of
circuits.
A
simple
form
of
signal
processing
is
the
distortion
box
used
by
many
guitarists.
Digital
signal
processing
refers
to
similar
processes
which
are
performed
by
digital
circuitry
as
opposed
to
analog
circuitry.
Many
of
the
effects
devices
available
today
use
digital
signal
processing
techniques.
