Sony DPS-D7 - Getting Started; Dps-D7

Overview
of
the
DPS-D7
S
The
DPS-D7
is
a
digital
delay unit
equipped
entirely
with
Sony’s
digital
and
audio
technology
at its
highest
level of
sophistication
which was
released
before
with the
Digital
Reverberator,
DRE-2000
and
MU-R20
1
and has
received
much
praise.
Quality-conscious
design
-
A/D
and
D/A
high
performance
converter
The
DPS-D7
converts the
incoming
analog
signal to
a
digital
signal,
passes
it
through various
effects,
then
re-converts
it
to
an
analog
singnal
before
output.
The
determinant
to the
sound
quality is the
conversion
mechanism
that
adopts
the
18-bit
oversampling
stereo
A/D
converter
and
the
pulse
D/A
converter
of
49,152
MHz.
These
account for
highly
accurate,
less
deteriorated
effects.
User-friendly
and
comfortable
operation
The
large
size
backlit
LCD of
40
characters
by 2
lines
makes
it
possible to
proceed with
smooth
operation
while
viewing
the
operating
condition in
real time.
Moreover,
the
LCD
display
incorporates
an
on-line
manual
(in
English)
which
displays
information
required
for
operation.
Abundant
preset
memory
settings
The
unit
has a
hundred
variations
of the
effects
created by
musicians,
sound
mixers
and
acoustic
engineers
around
the
world in
its
preset
memory.
This
will help
you
select
and
replay
immediately
the
desired
effects
for a
particular
purpose.
Sound
creation
of any
kind
The
EDIT
function
allows
you to
modify
the
presets
or to
create
some
individual
effects.
Besides the
preset
memory
for a
hundred
effects,
the
unit has a
so-called
user
memory
where
you
can
save up
to 256
effects you
are
going to
create.
Using
this
memory
allows
more
varicolored
play
of
effects.
Wide
range
of
effects
The
DPS-D7
is
equipped
with 7
types
of
algorithms
in
the
Delay
block;
Stereo
delay,
Feedback
delay,
Double
delay,
Tap
delay,
Long
tap
delay,
Panpot tap
delay and
Multi-delay.
In
addition,
it is
provided
with
the
Equalizer
block
and the
Auto
panner
block.
By
using these
blocks
and
algorithms,
the
DPS-D7
can
create
the
wide
range
of
effects
which no
other
existing
delay
unit
can
achieve.
Remote
control
The
remote
commander
(not
supplied)
makes it
possible to
remotely
control the
unit.
2
types of
I/O
connectors
are
provided
The
DPS-D7
has
XLR
connectors
(balanced-type)
and
phone
jacks so
that
it
can be
connected
to
instruments,
recording
equipment
or
PA
(public
address)
equipment.
Linkage
with
MIDI
equipment
The
MIDI
device
incorporated
in the
DPS-D7
can
receive
program
change
signals
from
another
MIDI
equipment
connected
so
that
the
DPS-D7
can be
controlled
by
the
MIDI
equipment
connected.
Thus
it
can
function
as
an
effector
when
connected
to
digital
instruments.
In
addition,
controls
from
PC’s
or
MIDI
sequencers
are
very
helpful
for
composition.
