Sony DPS-V55 - Getting Started: Unit Introduction; Key Features of the DPS-V55

Qe
Getting Started
The DPS-V55 is a four channets multi effect processor.
Four channel construction
The DPS-V55 is outfitted with four inputs (agd outputs) and can
route the input signals ina variety of different wavs depending on
the chosen effect algorithms and program structures
Flexible effect algorithms and program structures
The DPS-V585 incorporates a total of 45 different effect algorithms
divided into three different types: deh, 2ch (stereo), and Mono-
Pair. Each effect contains several adjustable parameters and can be
easily modified. Inaddition 2ch and/or Mono-Pair effects can be
used in combination within a program, and the program structure
can be switched between serial and parallel, allowing vou to take
full advantage of the four channel construction.
User-friendly operating environment
A primary concern when creating the DPS-V55, was to provide an
intuitive operating system for creative sound control. All effect
parameters can be accessed directly using the EDET PARAMETER
buttons.
Large memory banks
In addition to the 200 different preset programs (numbers
001~200) created by musicians and engineers from around the
world (preset memory), there is also,room for you to store up to
200 of your own original programs in the user memory (Numbers
201~400). We've also included a search Function so you can recall
the programs you need without having to remember their
program numbers.
Search function
The search function lets you locate programs you want by
specifying the tvpe of effects they contain. (See page 12.)
TAP function
The TAP function lets you adjust certain parameters or trigger
certain effects simply by tapping on the ENTER (TAP) button. (See
page 15.)
MIDI compatibility
The MIDI interface lets you conduct program change and data
save operations. (See page 17.)
How to Use This Manual
These operating instructions describe setup and operating
procedures for the DPS-V55 multi-eftect processor.
Before using this unit we do recommend taking a glance at the
“Functional Hierarchy” chart on page 5 and reading
“Understanding Effect Algorithms and Program Structures” on
page § to familiarize vourselt with the unit.
“Hooking Up” shows vou how to make different kinds of
connections between this unit and instruments, mixers, and/or
components.
The remaining chapters show vou how to operate the unit. Refer
to cach as necessary.
For specific information regarding the individual effects and
parameters, refer to the separate “Effect Parameter Guide.” For
information regarding the preset memory, refer to the separate
“Preset Memory Catalog.”
