Sony DPS-R7 Operating Instructions Manual page 13

This block processes the incoming signals from the Input
block then outputs them to the Reverberation block. Signal
processing in this block uses 6 types of specific algorithms
for the preset memories.
When editing a preset memory, examine which algorithm is
used in the preset memory. Parameters also varies as the
algorithm changes.
What is the side chain?
The side chain is a line by which signals are directly output
from the Pre-effect block to the Post-effect block. This is
effective when you have chosen the gate (Algorithm 6 GTE)
or the auto panner (Algorithm 7 APN) in the Post-effect
block. In other words, as shown in the diagram below,
By bypassing the Reverberation block (that is, By sending
the signals directly from the Pre-effect block to the Post-
effect block), a well responsed gate effect can be obtained
without any signal processing in the Reverberation block.
(With the gate incorporated in the DPS-R7, you can select
input signals for the gate processing. Therefore, signals
output from the Reverberation block can be also selected as
an input source to the gate processing.)
