We lc om e
Congratulations on your purchase of the ENSONIQ DP/Pro Professional 24-bit Effects Processor. The DP/Pro Reference Manual provides descriptions of all of the DP/Pro’s many features, and provides tips for unlocking the product’s tremendous sonic potential.
Tip: Be sure to check out ENSONIQ’s World Wide Web home page at <http://www.ensoniq.com> from time to time for the latest info on the DP/Pro and other ENSONIQ products.
P ar am e t e r s, Value s and Page s
There are three basic terms that underlie every DP/Pro activity, and which must be understood. They are:
• Parameter—A parameter is any one of the DP/Pro’s programmable attributes.
• Value—A value is a parameter’s setting.
• Page—The DP/Pro’s front-panel buttons provide access to a great many parameters, often presented one after another on sequentially arranged displays. Each display is called a “page.”
1—Introduction
Tip: A parameter is described by the button with which it’s associated. For example, if a parameter is referred as a “System/MIDI parameter,” you’ll know that it’s one of the group of parameters accessed by pressing the System/MIDI button.
N avigat ing t he DP /P r o
It’s simple to navigate the DP/Pro’s pages and perform its operations once you understand the front­panel tools central to so many of its activities:
• The Next and Previous Page buttons allow you to move forward or back, and across, the DP/Pro’s pages.
Tip: The Next and Previous Page buttons, when held down, will scroll through multiple pages.

A Note About Read-Only Displays
Each of the areas within the DP/Pro has its own set of displays, which are described in detail in the chapters of the DP/Pro Reference Manual. The DP/Pro provides a number of read-only displays for informational purposes, in addition to its many adjustable parameters. When a displayed value is

Effects
In the DP/Pro, an effect is a preset that contains all of the settings for the DP/Pro’s two processor chips, as well as the settings that determine the flow of audio into, through and out of the DP/Pro.

The DP/Pro can contain up to 387 effects. Effects are stored in the DP/Pro’s memory in four banks:
• Banks 0 and 1 are RAM banks that can be used for the storage of effects you edit and create.
• Banks 2 and 3 are ROM banks that contain effects programmed by ENSONIQ; these effects are always available and uneraseable.
Effects can be selected using the DP/Pro’s Select Effect button and the Value knob, with a foot switch (such as the ENSONIQ SW-10) or with Program Changes and Bank Select messages received via MIDI.

The DP/Pro’s Two ESP2 Processor Chips
The basic building blocks of DP/Pro effects are two of ENSONIQ’s second-generation 24-bit ESP2 custom VLSI chips. “ESP” is an acronym for “ENSONIQ Signal Processing.” The two chips are called ESP-A and ESP-B.
Each ESP uses an algorithm—a highly specialized digital signal processing program—to perform an audio processing task. The DP/Pro contains 42 different algorithms, any of which can be used by either ESP. Each algorithm offers its own set of useful presets, called variations.

Algo B Params B Mod B Bypass B
Edit
Algorithm and variation selection occurs after pressing the Algo A (for ESP-A) and Algo B (for ESP-B) buttons. Chapter 5 explains in detail the manner in which algorithms and variations are selected.
Each algorithm contains a comprehensive suite of parameters, accessed via the Params A and Params B button. Algorithms parameters are described in Chapter 6.

Algo B Params B Mod B Bypass B

In addition, each ESP contains its own set of mix-related parameters that govern the ESP’s input/output levels, stereo balances and, where applicable, its feedback settings. The mixer parameters are also found under the Params A and Params B buttons. The ESP-A and ESP-B Mixer Params are described in Chapter 8.

Fast Editing of Parameters
The DP/Pro’s Tweak parameters system offers the ability to bring your most-commonly used ESP mix and algorithm parameters up to the DP/Pro’s front panel. This provides quick access to these parameters for editing without requiring you to navigate through all of the parameters available for each ESP and algorithm. Chapter 9 describes the setup—via the Params A and Params B buttons, shown above—and use—via the Tweak button—of Tweak parameters.

The DP/Pro offers a range of bypass options that allow you to control what it means to “turn off” an ESP. These options are described in Chapter 2.
Copying and Swapping Algorithms
The DP/Pro provides a selection of tools for moving algorithms and their settings from one ESP to another, or between effects. These tools, available under the Routing button (shown below), are described in Chapter 7.

1—Introduction
Routing
The DP/Pro provides a variety of ways in which you can pass audio into the DP/Pro, through the ESPs, and back out again. This is referred to as signal routing.
• You can process audio sent into the DP/Pro’s left and right inputs as a single stereo feed, or as
• When you process stereo audio, you can arrange the two ESPs so that signal passes through them
• You can also determine whether the stereo outputs of the ESPs will be mixed together, presenting

Real-Time Effect Modulation
The DP/Pro provides an extensive set of tools that allow for the real-time manipulation, or modulation, of effects. The Mod A and Mod B buttons are provided for this purpose.

Routing
Algo B Params B Mod B Bypass B
The setting of any ESP mix or algorithm parameter can be controlled in real-time. Real-time modulation can be performed using any MIDI controller, a stereo foot switch, a CV pedal or the DP/Pro’s unique virtual controllers, its Tweak knobs, or mod LFOs.
The Virtual Tweak Knobs
Each effect in the DP/Pro contains two virtual controllers called Tweak Knob 1 and Tweak Knob 2. These two devices are software objects that, when enabled, are controlled by the front-panel Value knob. The tweak knobs can be used for the modulation of any ESP mix or algorithm parameters in either ESP, and can be assigned names in order to help you keep track of what it is you’ve programmed them to do.
Edit
The Mod LFOs
In addition to the LFOs available within the DP/Pro’s algorithms, two free-standing LFOs are available at all times for use as real-time modulators of ESP mix and algorithm parameter settings in either ESP: the mod LFOs. These LFOs can provide cyclical changes to parameters’ settings, as they cycle back and forth through their low-frequency waves.
Real-time effect modulation, the tweak knobs and mod LFOs are described in detail in Chapter 9.

Synchronizing Effects to a Tempo
Many of the DP/Pro’s algorithms contain elements that can be synchronized to a timing reference. The DP/Pro contains a system clock to provide such a pulse. The system clock can be set to be internally controlled or to respond to received MIDI clocks. When the system clock is not linked to an external MIDI timing source, its rate may be set manually, or by tapping the desired tempo on the front-panel Tap button. The Tap button—whose LED flashes the current system tempo—is itself highly configurable. Chapter 2 provides information on the system clock and setting up the Tap button.

Defining your DP/Pro Workspace
The DP/Pro’s overall operation is quite customizable. The System/MIDI button —shown above—provides access to the many parameters that allow you to make your DP/Pro working environment comfortable. The System/MIDI parameters are described in Chapter 2.
Important: Two Final Concepts
Downloading and Installing
In the DP/Pro, the selection of an effect, algorithm or algorithm variation does not necessarily mean that it’s ready for use:
• When an effect is selected, the DP/Pro must be instructed to download all of the effect’s algorithm settings into its ESPs, and to configure the effect’s signal routing.
• When an algorithm or algorithm variation is selected, the DP/Pro must be instructed to download all of the algorithm’s settings into the selected ESP.
The DP/Pro allows you to choose whether you’d like it to download, or install, these objects as they’re

selected, or whether you’d like the option of installing effects and/or algorithms (and variations) manually by pressing the Enter button after you’ve selected them. If you choose the latter, the Enter button will flash after you’ve selected an effect, algorithm or algorithm variation to remind you that it needs to be pressed.

Saving
When you’re editing effects in the DP/Pro—including every non-System/MIDI parameter—the changes you make are not permanent until you save the effect you’re working on. See Chapter 11 to learn how to save effects to the DP/Pro’s memory.

Powering Up the First Time
The correct procedure for powering up the DP/Pro for the first time is as follows:
1. Make sure the DP/Pro’s power button is turned off—the bottom of the button should be pressed in.
2. Plug the provided line cord into the AC line receptacle on the rear panel of the DP/Pro.
3. Plug the other end of the line cord into a grounded AC outlet.
4. Press the top of the Power button on the right side of the DP/Pro’s front panel.
Powering up the DP/Pro in a MIDI Configuration
In a series of MIDI devices, you should always turn on the device that’s transmitting MIDI data (keyboards, sequencers, etc.) before you power up the device that’s receiving MIDI data. For instance, if you’re using the DP/Pro to receive MIDI information from a keyboard or sequencer, you should turn the keyboard or sequencer on before the DP/Pro. This prevents any unwanted MIDI information

1—Introduction
from being “spit” out of the transmitting device during power up, which could confuse or disable your DP/Pro. If this should happen, turn off the DP/Pro, and then turn it back on.
Polarization and Grounding
Like many modern electrical devices, the DP/Pro has a three-prong power cord with earth ground to ensure safe operation. Some products have power cords with only two prongs and no earth ground. For safety, some of these products have polarized plugs which can only be inserted into an outlet the proper way.
Three-prong
PolarizedNon-polarized
Some products, such as older guitar amplifiers, do not have polarized plugs and can be connected to an outlet incorrectly. This may result in dangerous high voltages on the audio connections, which could cause you physical harm, or damage any properly grounded equipment to which they are connected, such as your DP/Pro.
To avoid shock hazards or equipment damage, we recommend the following precautions:
• If you own equipment with two-pronged power cords, check to see if they’re polarized or non­polarized. You might consider having an authorized repair station change any non-polarized plugs on your equipment to polarized plugs to avoid future problems.
• Exercise caution when using extension cords or plug adapters. Proper polarization should always be maintained from the outlet to the plug. The use of polarized extension cords and adapters is the easiest way to maintain proper polarity.
• Whenever possible, connect all products with grounded power cords to the same outlet ground. This will ensure a common ground level to prevent equipment damage and minimize hum in the audio output.
AC outlet testers are available from many electronic supply and hardware stores. These can be used to check for proper polarity of outlets and cords.
with earth ground
For more information on grounding the DP/Pro, see Chapter 12.
AC Line Conditioning
As with any computer device, the DP/Pro is sensitive to sharp peaks and drops in the AC line voltage. Lightning strikes, power drops, or sudden and erratic surges in the AC line voltage can scramble the internal memory, and in some cases, damage the unit’s hardware. Here are a few suggestions to help guard against such occurrences:
• A surge/spike suppressor—this absorbs surges and protects your gear from all but the most severe over-voltage conditions. You can get multi-outlet power strips with built-in surge/spike suppressors for little more than the cost of unprotected power strips, so purchasing one is a good investment for all your electronic equipment.
• A line conditioner—this is the best, but by far the more expensive way to protect your gear. In addition to protecting against surges and spikes, a line conditioner guards equipment against excessively high or low line voltages. If you use the DP/Pro in lots of different locations with varying or unknown AC line conditions, you might consider investing in a line conditioner.
Rack Mounting Guidelines
Because the DP/Pro uses an internal transformer, it generates a certain amount of heat. For better reliability, we don’t recommend the installation of the DP/Pro near devices that are particularly sensitive to heat, or near power amps, tube equipment, or other products that emit a lot of heat.
ENSONIQ DP/Pro Reference Manual 9
Page 18
1—Introduction
Temperature Guidelines
The DP/Pro contains computerized and electronic circuitry that can be susceptible to damage when exposed to extreme temperature changes. When the DP/Pro is brought inside after sitting in a cold climate (i.e., the back seat of your car), condensation builds up on the internal circuitry in much the same way a pair of glasses fogs up when you come inside on a cold day. If the unit is powered up as this condensation occurs, components can short out or be damaged. Excessively high temperatures also pose a threat to the unit, stressing both the internal circuits as well as the case. With this in mind, we advise you to follow these precautions when storing, mounting and setting up your DP/Pro:
• Avoid leaving the DP/Pro in temperatures of less than 50 degrees Fahrenheit or more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
• When bringing the DP/Pro indoors after travel, allow at least 20 minutes for the unit to reach room temperature before powering up. In the case of extreme outdoor temperatures (below 50 degrees Fahrenheit or above 100 degrees Fahrenheit), allow an hour or more before powering up.
• Avoid leaving the DP/Pro inside a vehicle exposed to direct sunlight.

though your DP/Pro battery should last for years, you may eventually need to have it replaced by an authorized ENSONIQ Repair Station.
The DP/Pro will tell you when its battery needs replacing. It will flash the following when you power up:
Warning! Main battery is low. See manual.
This display will appear only briefly, and then allow you to proceed normally. Make sure that everything in RAM that you’d like to keep—or any special system settings—have been safely stored on an external MIDI storage device—as described in Chapter 2—and take the DP/Pro to an authorized ENSONIQ Repair Station as soon as possible to have the battery replaced.
Reinitializing the DP/Pro
All computer-based devices—including the DP/Pro—occasionally experience signs of data corruption. If your DP/Pro begins acting oddly, you can reinitialize its software to clear out any problems lurking there.
Warning: Make sure you’ve saved any effects or system settings that you want to preserve to an external MIDI device before reinitializing. Reinitializing erases the contents of the DP/Pro’s user memory banks, and resets all System/MIDI parameters to their default values.
To Reinitialize the DP/Pro
1. Hold down the System/MIDI button.
2. While continuing to hold the System/MIDI button, press the Cancel button.
3. Let go of both buttons. The displays shows:
Press ENTER to Reinit. All data will be lost!

Se le c t ing t he Type of Audio t o be P r oc e sse d
The first step in using the DP/Pro is determining the type of audio you’ll be sending into its input jacks. All DP/Pros can process analog audio. Any DP/Pro with an ENSONIQ DI-Pro digital I/O board installed can also process incoming digital audio in AES and S/PDIF formats.
System/MIDI Parameter 1: Input
k
Input=Analog Clock=48.000 kHz
Values: Analog; Digital, AES; Digital, S/PDIF; Ana+Dig, AES; Ana+Dig, S/PDIF Default: Analog
Note: The listed values are available when the optional DI-Pro digital I/O board is installed in
the DP/Pro. When the DI-Pro board is not present, only the Analog setting is visible.
What this Parameter Does:
The Input parameter selects the type of audio source you’ll be sending into the DP/Pro. Rear-panel combination 1/4”/XLR jacks are provided for analog signals, and the optional DI-Pro digital I/O board provides digital inputs for AES- and S/PDIF-format data.
Est ablishing the D P /P r o’ s Sam ple Rat e
The DP/Pro’s A/D and D/A converters can operate at several different sample rates. When an analog signal is being processed, the DP/Pro can operate at either 44.100 kHz or 48.000 kHz.
Both rates have their advantages and disadvantages. The 48.000 kHz provides the highest-quality signal processing. However, should you be using the DP/Pro’s digital outputs to master an analog signal to CD or some other digital medium that operates at 44.100 kHz, you’ll need to use the same sample rate in the DP/Pro.
Note: The DP/Pro’s Sample Rate LEDs—located above the auxiliary display—show the DP/Pro’s current sample rate.
System/MIDI Parameter 2: Clock
Input=Analog Clock=48.000
k
Values: 44.100 kHz (when Input=Analog); 48.000 kHz (when Input=Analog) Default: 48.000 kHz

kHz
Page 22
What this Parameter Does:
The Clock parameter sets or displays the sample rate used by the DP/Pro’s A/D and D/A converters. The behavior of this parameter is dependent on the setting of the Input parameter.
• When Input=Analog, the setting of the Clock parameter determines the operating sample rate of the DP/Pro.
System/MIDI parameters 3 through 5 are available only when a DI-Pro digital I/O board has been
installed in the DP/Pro. See the DI-Pro User’s Guide for information on these parameters.
Global MID I Se t t ings
The DP/Pro is a highly MIDI-aware device:
• DP/Pro effects can be selected via MIDI Program Change and Bank Select messages.
• Effects can be modulated in real time using any MIDI controller.
• Many aspects of DP/Pro algorithms can be synchronized to MIDI clocks.
• The DP/Pro generates and responds to System Exclusive data dumps.
• The DP/Pro can transmit control change messages generated by its virtual Tweak knobs, its Bypass buttons and its dual foot switch.
• The DP/Pro can transmit Program Change messages when effects are selected from the front panel, or by using a foot switch.
• Various elements of MIDI transmission and reception can be individually enabled or disabled; the DP/Pro also provides an overall MIDI reception on/off parameter.
• The DP/Pro’s response to Program Change messages can be re-mapped to allow any Program Change value to select any effect.
The DP/Pro uses three MIDI channels. Program Changes received on the System MIDI channel select effects, while ESP-A and ESP-B each have their own MIDI channels upon which they receive MIDI controller messages used for the real-time manipulation of their algorithms.

What this Parameter Does:
When this page is displayed, pressing the Enter button causes the DP/Pro to transmit a System Exclusive (SysEx) data dump of the object selected on the lower line of the display. This provides an opportunity to store the contents of the DP/Pro’s memory in an external MIDI storage device.
Note: Since SysEx data records the MIDI Device ID number of the sending device, make sure to note the setting of the MIDI Device ID parameter (System/MIDI parameter 6) when performing the dump. In order to successfully reload the data back into the DP/Pro at a later date, this Device ID number must match the one embedded in the SysEx data. In addition, the Accept SysEx Msgs System/MIDI parameter (12) must be set to “Yes” in order for the DP/Pro to reload SysEx data transmitted from an external source.
Se t t ing U p a R e f e r e nc e for Tim e - Base d Ef f e c t s
Many of the DP/Pro’s algorithms contain time-based elements—LFOs and delays, for example—that can be synchronized to a timing reference. This provides a high degree of timing control of those elements. The DP/Pro provides its own internal clock for such purposes, or it can synchronize its algorithms to MIDI clocks received from and external MIDI device.
Tip: The algorithm parameter charts in Chapter 6 of the DP/Pro Reference Guide show which algorithm elements are capable of synchronization. Any parameter with the letter “T” (for “Time”) in its Attributes column can be synchronized.
The DP/Pro’s internal clock can be set by manually adjusting the System/MIDI System Tempo parameter, or by tapping out the desired tempo on the Tap button. The DP/Pro can be set to respond to Tap button strikes in a variety of ways.

The DP/Pro allows you to group effects together as songs—a DP/Pro song is a list of effects meant to be selected one after the other. A song can use any of the effects in the DP/Pro, arranged in any order. There can be up to 10 steps in each song—each step being associated with a single effect—and up to 10 songs in the DP/Pro’s memory at any given time. You can move forward or back through the list by pressing the pedals on a dual foot switch—such as an ENSONIQ SW-10 (see the System/MIDI L Ftsw Cntlr and R Ftsw Cntlr parameters below).

D e signat ing R e al- Tim e Cont r olle r s
Every parameter in each of the DP/Pro’s algorithms can be manipulated in real time, allowing for the creation of highly animated effect processing. The DP/Pro supports the use of a wide variety of control mechanisms, ranging from the two virtual Tweak knobs, to foot switches, to all 121 MIDI controllers.
The first step in setting up real-time control of the DP/Pro’s effects is to establish of suite of up to 16 control mechanisms that you’d like to have available for this purpose—these are referred to as DP Cntlrs 1 through 16. You can use any of the 16 for real-time control of any algorithm parameter.
To learn more about real-time control of the DP/Pro’s effects, see Chapter 10.

2—System/MIDI Parameters
What these Parameters Do:
The L Ftsw Cntlr and R Ftsw Cntlr parameters assign tasks to the two foot switches on a dual foot switch.
MIDI Transmission from the Foot Switches
Whenever the System/MIDI Transmit Cntlr Msgs parameter (14) is on, pressing a foot switch pedal transmits MIDI data. The kind of data transmitted depends on the current job to which the pedal is assigned:
• When the foot switch is being used for the selection of effects, a Program Change value equivalent to each selected effect is transmitted. This occurs when foot switch is set to Inc Effect, Dec Effect, Inc Step or Dec Step.
• When the foot switch is set to Bypass A or Bypass B , it mimics the pressing of the appropriate Bypass button. As a result, the DP/Pro will transmit an On (127) or Off (0) value for the controller currently selected for turning the ESP’s bypass on and off via MIDI (see “Bypassing ESPs with MIDI” later in this chapter).
• When a foot switch is set to DP Cntlr, Tap Tempo, Inc Song or Dec Song and pressed, the DP/Pro transmits a value of 127 for MIDI controllers 70 (the left pedal) or 71 (the right pedal). When the pedal is released, a 0 value for the same controller is transmitted. These controllers are understood as left and right Patch Select button-presses by ENSONIQ products that have Patch Select buttons.

This allows you to record real-time tweaks into a MIDI sequencer, which can reproduce the tweaks on playback by transmitting the data back to the DP/Pro. Both Tweak Knob 1 and 2 can be set to transmit and respond to any MIDI controller.
Tip: To learn more about the DP/Pro Tweak knobs, see Chapter 10.
System/MIDI Parameter 60: Twk 1 Cntlr System/MIDI Parameter 61: Twk 2 Cntlr

Values: Off; All MIDI controllers Defaults: Twk 1 Cntlr: FXCtrl1 #12; Twk 2 Cntlr: FXCtrl2 #13
What these Parameters Do:
The Twk 1 Cntlr and Twk 2 Cntlr parameters allow you to assign any MIDI controller to be transmitted from the DP/Pro when the Tweak LED is lit and the Tweak Knob1 or Tweak Knob2 pages are displayed. The Tweak knobs will also respond to this controller at all times—even when the Tweak LED is off—as long as the System/MIDI Accept MIDI Msgs parameter is set to “Yes.”
Note: The Tweak knobs send and receive MIDI data on the System MIDI channel (see the description of the System MIDI Channel parameter earlier in this chapter).
M ID I Bypassin g of t he ESP s
The DP/Pro allows you to bypass its ESPs by sending MIDI controllers of your choice on the DP/Pro’s system MIDI channel. This feature acts in the same manner as pressing the Bypass A and/or Bypass B buttons on the DP/Pro’s front panel. When the DP/Pro receives a value of 64 or above for a selected controller, it switches on the target ESP’s bypass function. Values of 64 or below turn the bypass off.
When the System/MIDI Transmit Cntlr Msgs parameter is set to “On,” pressing the front panel Bypass buttons transmits either a 127 (when bypass is switched on) or 0 (when bypass is switched off) value for the selected controller from the DP/Pro’s MIDI Out jack.
Note: The nature of the bypass is determined by the setting of the System/MIDI ESP-A Bypass Btn and ESP-B Bypass Btn parameters, described later in this chapter.
System/MIDI Parameter 62: Byp A Cntlr System/MIDI Parameter 63: Byp B Cntlr
16 ENSONIQ DP/Pro Reference Manual
Page 36
2—System/MIDI Parameters
Byp A Cntlr=Off Byp B Cntlr=Off
Values: Off; All MIDI controllers Defaults: Off
What these Parameters Do:
The Byp A Cntlr and Byp B Cntlr parameters allow you to designate a MIDI controller for each ESP that can be used to toggle the ESP’s bypass function on or off. An On (127) or Off (0) value for the MIDI controller will also be transmitted from the DP/Pro each time one of the Bypass buttons is pressed.
D e t e r m ining What Happe ns Whe n You Bypass an ESP
The DP/Pro provides a Bypass button for each ESP as a way to quickly disable it. You can also use a dual foot switch or a MIDI controller to switch the Bypass buttons on and off (see “Setting Up Foot Switch Controls” earlier in this chapter, and “MIDI Bypassing of the ESPs” above).
The DP/Pro allows you to determine exactly what will occur when an ESP is bypassed. There are several possibilities, useful for different situations.

What this Parameter Does:
The ESP-A Bypass Btn and ESP-B Bypass Btn parameters let you control precisely the behavior of the ESPs when they’re bypassed.
Tip: Double-clicking either Bypass button sets the selected ESP to All Mute, regardless of the setting of ESP-A Bypass Btn or ESP-B Bypass Btn parameters.

finish sounding in a natural manner Out Mute—stops the output of the ESP, instantly cutting off all audio. This setting allows you to
continue sending audio into the ESP, so that when you deactivate the bypass, any audio currently being processed will be heard.
All Mute—stops both the input to and the output from the ESP.

The Mono Input Src parameter allows you to route only the audio present at either the left or right input into the DP/Pro’s ESPs.
Se t t ing t he Global We t /D r y Mix
Many of the DP/Pro’s algorithms contain a wet/dry mix parameter to provide control of the interaction between dry signal and the audio processing provided by the algorithm. In addition, each ESP offers an additional wet/dry mix—located among its Mixer Params—to help achieve a balance between the result of the ESP’s processing and the original uneffected signal. Finally, the DP/Pro allows you set an overall global balance between the original dry signal received at the DP/Pro’s inputs and the mix produced by the outputs of its ESPs.
System/MIDI Parameter 73: Global Wet Mix
Mono Input Src=Off Global Wet
k
Values: Full Dry through 100% Wet Default: 100% Wet
What this Parameter Does:
The Global Wet Mix parameter allows you to set a balance between the dry signal present at the DP/Pro’s inputs and the audio produced at the outputs of its two ESPs.

P e r sonaliz ing EQ Low F r e que nc y and High Gain Lim it s
The DP/Pro allows you to establish low-frequency and maximum boost limits when editing algorithms that contain EQ (equalization). Given the DP/Pro’s wide dynamic range, judicious settings for this parameter can help prevent damage to your ears and/or equipment.
The algorithm parameter charts in Chapter 6 show which parameters are affected by these limits. If a parameter has an “L” in its Attributes column, it’s affected by the Set Min Freq parameter. If it has a “G,” it’s affected by the Set Max Gain parameter.

Effect Finder
Effect Finder™ can locate effects that meet specified criteria. There are three types of criteria:
• Routing—Effect Finder can search for effects that use the specified type of signal routing.
• FX—Effect Finder can search for effects that employ a specified type of algorithm.
• App—Effect Finder can search for effects that are designated as being used for a specified type of application.
You can perform an Effect Finder Find procedure utilizing one, two or three of these criteria simultaneously. Obviously, you can search with a high degree of specificity by using all three criteria in a single search.
The DP/Pro “knows” the routing of each of its effects, and automatically assigns the appropriate Routing value to each effect. An effect’s FX and App values are manually assigned when the effect is saved to memory (see Chapter 11). You can assign as many FX or App values to each effect as you wish. As you assign these values, you can conform to the below-listed meanings for the different values to the degree you see fit.
The Effect Finder Criteria
3—Selecting and Finding Effects
The “All” Setting for an Effect Finder Criterion
Each of the three Effect Finder criteria offers an “All” setting that instructs Effect Finder to accept any effect that matches any of the criterion’s possible values—the net result of this setting is to turn off the criterion as a factor in a search. Therefore, whenever a criterion is not a factor in a search, set it to “All.”
The Routing Criterion
The possible Effect finder choices for the Routing criterion are:
• All—Use this value if the relationship between the DP/Pro’s ESPs is irrelevant.
• S: Serial—will limit the search to effects that employ the Stereo: Serial routing.
• S: Feedback—will limit the search to effects that employ the Stereo: Feedback routing.
• S: Parallel-S—will limit the search to effects that employ the Stereo: Parallel-S routing.
• S: Parallel-M—will limit the search to effects that employ the Stereo: Parallel-M routing.
• M: Dual Mono—will limit the search to effects that employ the 2-Mono: Dual Mono routing.
• M: Stereo Mix—will limit the search to effects that employ the 2-Mono: Stereo Mix routing.
Note: To learn more about the DP/Pro routings, see Chapter 4.
The FX Criterion
The possible Effect finder choices for the FX criterion are:
• All—Use this value if the algorithm used by the effect you seek are irrelevant to your search.
• Reverb—will limit the search to effects using any type of reverb algorithm.
• Room—will limit the search to effects using room simulation algorithms.
• Hall—will limit the search to effects using concert hall simulation algorithms.
• Plate—will limit the search to effects using plate reverb simulation algorithms.
• Non-Lin—will limit the search to effects using non-linear reverb algorithms.
• Delay—will limit the search to digital delay algorithms.
• PitchMod—will limit the search to pitch-modulation algorithms, such as pitch shifters, choruses, flanger and phasers.

• Spatial—will limit the search to algorithms that create or alter stereo imaging.
• Dynamics—will limit the search to algorithms that perform amplitude shaping, such as compressors, limiters, expanders and gates.
• EQ/Filtr—will limit the search to equalization and frequency filtering algorithms.
• Amp/Spkr—will limit the search to algorithms that simulate amplifiers, speaker enclosures and rotary speakers.
• Utility—will limit the search to algorithms used for special purposes, such as tone generation.
The App Criterion
The possible Effect finder choices for the App criterion are:
• All—Use this value if the way the effect you seek is usually used is irrelevant to the search.
• *Demo—will limit the search to effects designed to show off the capabilities of the DP/Pro.
• Live PA • Guitar-E

One of two things can occur when you attempt to find effects using Effect Finder: either you’ll find an effect—or effects—that match your criteria, or you won’t.
If Effect Finder locates any effects, the lowest-numbered effect will be displayed. You can turn the Value knob to browse through the found effects. Once you’ve found the effect you seek, you can install it by press the Enter button.
The list of found effects will be available until you:
• press the Select Effect button, at which point the entire list of the DP/Pro’s effects will be presented.
• press the Find Effect button, which will initiate a new Find process.
If Effect Finder finds no effects matching your criteria, the display will show:
No Match Found
You can perform as many Find procedures as you wish. Consider adjusting your criteria, or broadening the search by setting one or more of the criteria to “All.”

5—Selecting Algorithms and Variations
Variations
Each algorithm is pre-programmed with a collection of variations—presets based on the algorithm. The variations show off the possibilities inherent in each algorithm; they can also serve as starting points for your own programming. The number of variations supplied with each algorithm varies; they’re numbered in the DP/Pro’s auxiliary display for your convenience.
The Special *User Variation*'
When you first begin editing an effect’s algorithms or variations, the DP/Pro shows the current parameters settings for each of its algorithms as a special variation called the *User Variation*. The *User Variation* is a temporary variation for holding the last-saved settings for an algorithm’s parameters, and any algorithm parameter edits you make.
Note: If you select another variation, the *User Variation* will become unavailable except by re-installing the effect with which you’ve been working. Re-installing the effect—and the *User Variation*— will restore the last-saved algorithm parameter settings. Your recent edits, however, will have been discarded.
The Algorithm-and Variation Selection Displays
When the AlgoA or AlgoB button has been pressed, the DP/Pro’s main display shows the algorithm­selection page. The top line of the display shows the currently selected algorithm, while the bottom line shows the selected variation:
The currently selected algorithm

ESP-A=Spatial Delays Var=*User Variation*

A Note About Algorithm Mix Parameters
The DP/Pro provides a three-pronged approach to setting the wet/dry balance between an audio signal as it is before and then after processing:
1. The System/MIDI Global Wet Mix parameter allows you to set an overall wet/dry balance for all of the effects in the DP/Pro (see Chapter 2).
2. Both of the ESPs in each effect also offer their own wet/dry mix parameters to provide control over the balance between signal before in enters and after it leaves each of the ESPs. See Chapter 8 for more information on the ESP Mixer params.
3. Finally, many of the DP/Pro algorithms themselves contain a Mix parameter that allows you to control the wet/dry mix within the algorithm. This is especially helpful in algorithms that offer level-sensitive audio processing.

2 Mastering Limiter
Description: A brick wall peak limiter designed to maximize headroom with no objectionable
distortion. As the threshold is decreased, signal level increases (by up to 96 dB). Peaks that exceed the threshold are re-shaped—not clipped—producing a master-quality result.
Notes: Set the release time just long enough for smooth level changes to occur. The peak-shaping circuit requires a minimum lookahead delay (at least 25 ms). This amount can be increased to correspond to standard frame rates for film applications.

Description: Records and plays samples. Playback speed can be decreased to near zero or can be increased to up to 1600 times the original rate. Samples can be played both forwards and backwards (hence positive and negative speeds), and the end of a sample can be spliced to the beginning with an adjustable fade-in/out time. Audio-triggering modes allow sample playback to be keyed by an audio source and allow recording to begin automatically when the source level exceeds a threshold.
I/O Characteristics: Mono-in, mono-out.

Description: A stereo flanger driven by a flexible stereo LFO. The LFO features a variety of selectable waveshapes (described at the beginning of this chapter), modulation rate from the sub-audio through the audio range, left-to-right phase offset, and a randomization function.
Notes: When LFO Shape is Samp/Hold, the LFO S/H Ratio param appears in the list. The two fields of this param control the long-term variation and repetition period, respectively, of the sample-and-hold waveform. When LFO Shape is Pulse, the LFO Pulse Width param appears in the list. This param controls the duty cycle of the pulse waveform. The LFO L/R Phase sets the phase offset between the left LFO and the right LFO (increasing this param can produce a stereo signal from a mono source). LFO Rand Amount controls the amount of waveform randomization. When the param is set to 100%, the waveshape is purely random, regardless of the setting of LFO Shape. LFO Rand Rate controls the rate of the randomizer (the effect of this param can be heard only when LFO Rand Amount is nonzero). The Flanger also features low and high shelving EQ, modulatable delays, and filtered regeneration and cross-regeneration. The algo can be tapped after the flanger or after the regen delay (the latter setting allows the wet signal to be delayed with respect to the dry).
I/O Characteristics: Stereo-in, stereo-out.

Description: A stereo phaser driven by a flexible stereo LFO (see Flanger for LFO description). Features low and high shelving EQ, modulatable delays, and filtered regeneration and cross­regeneration.
Notes: Add some regen, set a very short delay, then cut high and low regen shelves to get plucked­string and drum-like effects (try the LFO Pulse shape with a touch of randomization). The algo can be tapped after the phaser or after the regen delay (the latter setting allows the wet signal to be delayed with respect to the dry).

Description: A 12-dB/octave crossover drives low and high rotors. A toggle switch lets you change speeds on the fly, at a selected acceleration determined by the inertia setting.
Notes: Crank up the drive control for a distorted sound (set the level and bandwidth to tame those harmonics). The FM and AM controls set the amount of Doppler and tremolo to your liking, while two stereo voices per rotor simulate microphone placement. This algo doubles as a two-speed, four-voice ring modulator (set FM amounts to zero, AM amounts to 100%, and set slow and fast speeds to somewhere in the audio range).
I/O Characteristics: Mono-in, stereo-out.
