  • Page 15 Effects and tempo synchronization Some of the SPX2000’s effects allow you to synchronize the effect with the tempo. There are two such types of effect; delay- type effects and modulation-type effects. For delay-type effects, the delay time will change according to the tempo. For mod- ulation-type effects, the frequency of the modulation signal will change according to the tempo.

    The SPX2000 also provides gated reverbs. These effects pass the signal through a gate so that reverb is added only while the gate is open. One way to use these effects is to add only reverb that exceeds a specified level, and close the gate to cut the slowly decaying reverberation.
