Selecting Presets; How The Config Affects Selecting Presets - ENSONIQ DP/4 Musician's Manual

Section 2 - Getting Started
Selecting Presets
The DP / 4 has 400 Presets in its memory, but you can't get to all of them at anyone time. This is
because:
• 100 of the presets are Config Presets which change the config set-up as well as loading new
effects algorithms; and
• of the remaining 300 presets, the type(s) of presets available for viewing and selecting
depends on the current config.
If you're not clear on how configs work, we suggest you review the discussion earlier in this
section.
How the Config Affects Selecting Presets

As we discussed earlier, the four different config types effectively turn the DP /4 into 1,2,3, or 4
independent effects devices, with a varying number of DP /
4
Units per "device":
A 1
Source Config
turns the DP / 4 into one giant
multi-effects processor with 4 effects units all
processing the same input signal.
A 2
Source Config
turns the DP / 4 into two
multi-effects processors, with 2 effects
units applied to each input signal.

A 4
Source Config
turns the DP / 4 into four
independent effects processors; each of the
four Units processes a different input signal
and is treated as a separate device.

If you think of the shaded rectangles in the above illustration as different" devices," you'll notice
that each of these configs creates a number of "devices" that are either 1,2, or 4 Units "wide."
This, in fact determines what presets you can select at any given time. The DP / 4 has 1 Unit, 2
Unit, and 4 Unit presets, and you can only select presets of the type(s) allowed by the current
config.
