  • Page 5: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION Thank you and congratulations on your new ART purchase. The SGX 2000 combines the dazzling effects of ART's own digital VLSI technology with applied analog and tube technology. The result is an incredible preamp/analog/digiital effects processor offering a level of processing resolution with the sound quality of multiple devices.
  • Page 6: Getting Started

    SGX-2000. Follow the hookup directions for the setup you use and then start playing. After the initial thrill wears off (if that's possible!), and you want to get to know your SGX-2000 better, refer to the rest of this manual for details, hints, and examples. Till later...
  • Page 7: Installation

    Left and Right Main Output jacks. Turn the SGX-2000 on first then turn on your power amp. Adjust the level with the Stereo Master Level control.
  • Page 8: Xlr Outputs

    XLR OUTPUTS The male XLR outputs are balanced outputs for use in sending your final effects signal to a mixing board. Pin 2 is hot (+), pin 3 is negative (-), and pin 1 is ground. The Stereo Master Output control does not effect the levels present at this output.
  • Page 9: Midi Thru

    (+)9 Volts DC. Use this jack to power external devices requiring a wall mount adapter. The ART X-11 and X-15 can be powered with this power jack. The jack will accept a female connector with an inside diameter of 2.1mm. Do not plug in any external power supply such as a wall mount adapter to this jack.
  • Page 10: Seven Segment Display

    the output jacks. As you move the slider to the right the output signal level of the unit increases. When the slider is fully to the right, 100% effect output is achieved. With this slider you control the level to the Loop 2 effect send and the XLR outputs, as well as to the final output section.
  • Page 11: Rotary Controls

    indicates the effect is present in the preset but has been turned "off" from an external controller such as the X-15 ULTRAFOOT. ROTARY CONTROLS ENCODER The rotary Encoder enables you to make fast and accurate changes to presets, parameters, and values accessable in each preset or function. You will notice the encoder will turn continuously in either direction.
  • Page 12: Push Switches

    PUSH SWITCHES MASTER OVERIDE: EFX LOOP 1 Switches Effect Loop 1 in and out. When the switch is in, the effects loop is engaged. EFX LOOP 2 Switches Effect Loop 2 in and out. When the switch is in, the effects loop is engaged.
  • Page 13: Mix

    STORE button. You may also control the Mix parameters with an external MIDI controller such as the ART X-15 ULTRAFOOT using the SGX 2000's Performance MIDI. NOTE: Presets may have varying output levels due to a level control as one of their parameters.
  • Page 14: Value

    When you are in MIDI or UTILITY mode, pressing the Param button will allow you to select the available parameters with the Encoder knob or by pressing the Param button repeatedly. While you are editing a preset, the Param button may be used as a cursor left key.
  • Page 15: Edit Mode Control Buttons

    You may preview presets while in Edit Mode by engaging the PRESET button. Use the Encoder to scan through the presets. Only the titles of the presets are shown, so it is helpful to know the contents. The processed output signal is not affected. To recall the preset when you are ready, press the RECALL button.
  • Page 16: Delete Effect

    -Using the Encoder, GOTO preset 151 (the Preset LED should be lit). -Press the RECALL button [<blank title>, <no effects>]. -Press the ADD EFFECT button once -Turn the Encoder until you see [ADD:COMPRESSOR?]. -Press ENTER (you have just entered the compressor into the chain), bottom display reads [1 CMP].
  • Page 17: Store

    When you see text within the [ ] brackets, it is describing the text as it appears in the LCD. Recall preset 151. -Press the EDIT MODE button -Press the DELETE EFFECT once. [DEL:COMPRESSOR?] *Do you want to delete the compressor? NO. -Turn the Encoder knob to the right until you see [DEL:ACU ENV SIM?] *Let's delete this effect.
  • Page 18: Title Edit

    When you first recall a Sampler preset it is usually geared up and ready to record a sample. Most of the Factory Presets using the Sampler in the SGX 2000 are "record/ready". When the preset is recalled and signal is presented to the SGX 2000, recording is automatically triggered.
  • Page 19: Bypass Level

    If you are using an ART X-15 ULTRAFOOT, you can use the Bypass Jack feature on the X-15 to control one of the SGX 2000's Remote Jacks. A momentary (normally open) switch should be used in applications other than the X-15's bypass feature.
  • Page 20: Auto Pm Display

    -Press the UTILITY button. -Use the Encoder or Param and Value buttons to select screen reading [HIT RECALL FOR ART PRESET #] -Make sure the Value LED is lit. -Use the Encoder to select the preset you want to recall, i.e. Preset 96.
  • Page 21: Preset 1-110 Locked/Unlocked

    -Press the RECALL button. *Even though the title is not displayed in the LCD , the factory preset is now active, but, IT IS NOT PERMANENT. If you wish to make the preset permanent, you must STORE it. To store the preset in the first 110 locations, you must first unlock the existing preset.
  • Page 22: Midi Channel

    FX ON/OFF ENABLE (USING X-15) ON, OFF [ON] When the SGX 2000 is used with an ART X-15 ULTRAFOOT, the two devices "talk" to each other. In order for the two devices to talk, Enable must be ON. The SGX 2000 enables commands to be received from the X-15 to turn the effects in the preset on or off.
  • Page 23: Midi Event Data Monitoring Mode

    REVERB DELAY PITCH TRANSPOSER FLANGE/CHORUS SPECIAL EFFECTS *The default status is On when the effect is selected. MIDI Event data Monitoring Mode When you select this Mode, MIDI information is displayed in either easy to read and understand or technical terms. The LCD displays certain MIDI events as they occur, regardless of which MIDI channel is selected.
  • Page 24: Description Of Algorithms

    Presets in the SGX 2000 are set up to be controlled by Performance MIDI via the ART X-15 ULTRAFOOT. See the section "Operating the Multiverb SGX 2000 with the X- 15 ULTRAFOOT" further on in this manual for more information. Don't let MIDI scare you.
  • Page 25: Analog Effect Algorithms

    There are some digital categories that cannot be combined together. Rather than tell you which effects cannot be combined, the SGX 2000 automatically selects (or defaults) to which algorithms may be combined and displays them in the LCD when you are "ADDing an EFFECT". All of the analog and digital effects parameters including the Mix Control parameters are controlable via the X-15.
  • Page 26: Expander

    1) If you add the compressor and set its' slope to 1:1 you get a programmable level control on the input of the analog signal chain. This works great as a variable distortion drive, or volume pedal effect. 2) The Compressor can be re-patched and replace the input signal on the "DRY" portion of the mix.
  • Page 27: Harmonic Exciter

    NOTES: 1) The Tube Drive Contour control on the front panel does not do anything when a tube distortion is not part of the effect chain. 2) The Bite parameter of the distortion effect does not do anything when a tube only distortion is present in the effects chain.
  • Page 28: Noise Gate

    2) Using a Distortion with the Envelope Filter adds some harmonic interaction to the sound. 3) The release time is fixed at 200ms. 4) If you use the X-15 Ultrafoot, you must assign a Performance MIDI controller to the Threshold parameter. NOISE GATE [NOISE GATE], [NGT] Parameter:...

  • Page 31: Chorus

    The base delay of the Flanger is set and the sweep WIDTH and SPEED is user controlled. REGENeration may be adjusted to vary the "strength" of the processed signal. The output level of the FLANGER may be adjusted to control it's "depth" in the preset.
  • Page 32: Tremolo

    When you choose the Panner, the signal is automatically panned by the SGX 2000 from left to right at a depth and speed you set. Choosing the MIDI-PAN allows you to assign a MIDI Controller to change the signal's position with an Expression Pedal or other MIDI device.

    Since this delay algorithm has the characteristic of being in parallel with a reverb program if used with one, it can be used to add a small amount of depth, or wrap-around effect to the sound. A "hard reverb" effect may be achieved by using longer delay and a moderate amount of regeneration.

If insufficient audio level prevents the unit from making measurements the LED window will look like Display 1 . When you are more than a half step (100 cents) sharp or flat the LED window will look like Display 2 or 3.
  • Page 42: Midi Data Monitor

    MIDI DATA MONITOR The SGX 2000 has 2 MIDI features collectively called "MIDI DATA MONITORing". These include the Performance MIDI(tm) Data Monitor, referred to as [DM] and the MIDI EVENT MONITOR, referred to as [MEM]. PERFORMANCE MIDI Data Monitor [DM] This Data Monitor allows a user, while viewing a Performance MIDI (PM) controller's definition under Edit Mode, to see the data associated with the MIDI event selected to control an effect's parameter unaltered.

  • Page 48: Building Your Own Presets

    APPENDIX A HELPFUL HINTS Building Your Own Presets Building presets is easy, really. Don't let all those effects possibilities scare you. What we suggest is to start by modifying existing presets. By doing this, you'll become familiar with how presets are built, what's in them and most importantly the level settings.
  • Page 49: Using Your Head (Amplifier)

    3) Whenever you add an effect that has gain (ie. compressor or distortion), add the Expander first and if the noise is still high, add the Noise Gate also. 4) Limit the maximum gain in a preset. If you add compressor and distortion, you can have as much as 90dB of gain! This will bring up the noise of the guitar to ear shattering levels.
  • Page 50: Miscellaneous Suggestions

    Miscellaneous Suggestions It is not suggested to use a microphone plugged directly into the SGX 2000. Even though the device will function properly with some types of microphones you may encounter level mismatch or level problems. Some type of preamplifier is required since the input sensitivity of most microphones is less than -40dB.
  • Page 51: Examples

    COPYING A PRESET You may copy a preset from any location into another easily. (If you want to copy a factory preset into another factory preset location, you must first Unlock the destination preset.) To copy a factory preset into one of the 90 user presets follow these steps.
  • Page 52: Editing The Mpt With A Keyboard Or External Controller

    NOTE: Don't forget, many foot pedals are configured for their preset 1 to recall MIDI program 0. This example allows for this and preset 1 is recalled when the foot pedal preset 1 is recalled. EXAMPLE 2: Editing the MPT with a keyboard or external controller. Using this method of editing, you select the desired patch on the keyboard or foot pedal, and then select the desired PRESET on the SGX 2000 for that sound.
