Patch Bay; Digital Contour; Programmable Level - Art SGX-2000 User Manual

PATCH BAY

[PATCH BAY], [PBY]
Parameters:
DRY = INPUT, POST CMP [INPUT]
LOOP1 = OUT, IN [IN]
LOOP2 = OUT, IN [IN]
Use the Patch Bay to route the input "dry" signal either pre or post compressor
to the programmable Mix control. When set to Input, only "dry" signal taken
directly after the Drive control is sent to the Programmable Mix [DRY] parameter.
When set to Post CMP, the signal first passes through the compressor and then
sent to the Programmable Mix [DRY] parameter.
To insert the Effects Loops into the preset, add the Patchbay. By adding the
Patchbay, you control whether the effect plugged into the effects loop is "in" or
"out" when the preset is selected. Setting the Loop = to IN allows the effect to
be in when the preset is recalled. You may assign a MIDI controller to change the
value between IN and OUT.
NOTE: The Master Overide switches on the front panel must be "In" for the Loops
to be active in a preset.

DIGITAL CONTOUR

[DIG CONTOUR], [DGC]
Parameters:
HI/LO SPLIT, HIGH to DGFX, LOW to ANFX, BYPASS [BYPASS]
TUNING = 110Hz, 160Hz, 230Hz, 350Hz, 560Hz, 1KHz, 2KHz [350Hz]
Adding Digital Contour to a preset allows you to control how the audio signal is
split into separate low and high frequency paths. Use this to keep your sound
distinct rather than loosing or burying it. When using Compression, Distortion,
EQ, Reverb, and Swept effects, it's a good idea to include the Digital Contour
algorithm. Set the Tuning parameter to select the crossover point of the signal.
[HI/LO SPLIT] sends only the low frequency material to the analog Mix Output and
the high frequency to the digital effects. If you are using distortion, this will
give your lower end a ballsy sound and keep your digital effects from being
muddled.
[HIGH to DGFX] sends just the high frequency material to the digital effects.
This keeps unwanted low frequency material from muddying up your digital effects.
[LOW to ANFX] sends only the low frequency material to the analog Mix Output.
Sending the higher frequency signal material to the digital effects such as
reverb or delay will keep the decays crisp and clean sounding.

PROGRAMMABLE LEVEL

[PROGR LEVEL], [LVL]
Parameter:
MASTER = 0 to 100% in 2% increments [93]
By adding Programmable Level to the effects chain, you are capable of setting the
master output level of each individual preset easily. The Programmable Level
algorithm controls the amount of signal level after the Digital Processor Input
slider and before the Digital Contour.
