Dsp Effects Menu - Cortex HDC-3000 Setup Manual

Section Fourteen: DSP Menu
DSP (Digital Signal Processing) effects are available at any time on the
HDC3000 to alter your music in any way you choose. From filtering out
certain frequencies, adding an echo or reversing audio, the only limit
really is your creativity.
All HDC3000 effects can be divided into 2 categories. Category one
includes all effects available without entering a menu-Scratch, Reverse,
Master Tempo and Key Adjust. Category two includes the following-
" Filter (Low/Band/Highpass types selectable)
" Flanger
" Echo
" Delay
" Decimator
" Vocoder
" Vibrato
" Phaser
" Transform
" AutoPan
" Brake
" Chorus
To engage an effect, first engage the DSP menu by pressing the DSP
button. This will enter the DSP menu. From here, scroll down to the effect
of your choice and press Enter. This will enter the DSP edit menu.
Depending on which effect you choose, you can alter various parameters
such as "frequency", "type", and "tempo" . The only shared parameter is
"Dry/Wet" which controls the ratio between the original material and
the effected signal.
DSP Effects can also be created/edited from the Play screen. To go into
DSP mode in the Play screen, press the DSP button twice. You will see a
small "DSP" symbol on the play screen. Creating/editing/deleting loops
in this mode is the same as in the edit screen-the main difference is you
cannot edit in/out points unless you re-enter the Edit mode. To exit DSP
mode while in the play screen simply press the Play Button above the
screen (not the main Play/Pause button!). To stay in DSP mode but turn
off the selected DSP effect use the Left/Right arrow buttons to sellect
"Pass" on the screen and press Enter.
All changes made to the default FX values are saved to the MSD and
re-loaded upon start up of the unit. To discard these values and reset to
the factory defaults, enter the Main Edit Menu and select "Restore
Default".
