Chapter 13: Using the Effects
You can use various types of the DPS16's built-in effects (optional). This chapter describes their functions and
usage.

DPS16's internal effects

The DPS16 provides four independent effect channels (FX 1–4), offering 44 types of effects (effect types), such as
reverb, chorus, and compressor. You can select different effects for FX 1–4 independently, and use the "effect
parameters" to adjust the intensity of the effects.
• Selecting effect types (→ page 145)
• Editing effect parameters (→ page 146)
• Effect types and parameters (→ page 157)
You can use the effects in the following two ways.

Applying effects using the AUX sends

You can apply effects to the INPUT MIX channels and TRACK MIX channels using four AUX sends. This is
especially useful when you wish to apply reverb or delay to multiple channels during mixdown or ping-pong
recording.
• Using effects for mixdown (→ page 148)
• Using effects during ping-pong recording (→ page 151)

Inserting effects to particular channels

You can also apply any effects (FX 1–4) to input signals or to track 1–16 playback signals by inserting them to
the INPUT MIX channels or the TRACK MIX channels respectively. This is useful when you wish to record
signals to tracks while applying the effects, or apply effects only to specified tracks during mixdown.
