Introductions
Thank you very much for having purchased the Fostex DE-10.
This unit is a completely independent two channel Multi Effect Processor that employs the A. S. P.+
(Fostex Advanced Signal Processing Technology), which is newly developed by Fostex.
It provides high quality ambient effects almost equivalent to a professional effect processor.
In addition to the typical Reverbs, it offers not only various practical algorithms such as Delay,
Chorus, Flanger and Pitch Bend, but some combinations of these are also available, e.g.,
Delay+Reverb.
Also, the DE-10 offers three operation modes as "Dual Mode", "Single 1 Mode" and "Single 2 Mode."
The "Dual Mode" works twice as much as an independent single channel Multi Effect Processor,
which configures as 1 Input - 2 Output times two. The "Single (1 and 2) Mode" works as a 2 Input -
2 Output Multi Effect Processor.
You can use the unit by connecting it to the AUX Send and AUX Return of an Audio Mixer for a
recording. Also you can directly connect the output from your musical instruments (Line Level
only) to the unit so that it will be a useful aid in your live performance.
To fully exploit all of its many useful features and functions, we recommend you read this manual
first before you start using the DE-10.

    These things may cause electrical shock or short circuit the DE-10, and damage it. If the DE-10 should become wet, unplug the power cable from the AC outlet, and contact your authorized service station.
  • Page 4: Digital Effect Functions

    Combining the ambience effect technology established through the development of "A.P.S." with acoustic theories accumu- lated through the development of transducers such as monitor speakers for many years, Fostex developed a unique simula- tion algorithm engine called "A.S.P.+", which performs overwhelmingly realistic microphone/amplifier simulation.
  • Page 5: The Details Of The Preset Effects

    The Details of the Preset Effects The DE-10 has 11 preset Effect Types available on both the Dual Mode and Single 1/2 Mode. Each Effect Type further offers a maximum of 11 variations. See Operations on page 18 and 19 for how to set up the Preset Effects.

    3. A main parameter for each effect can be edited from the preset value. The following shows the example of using the dual mode, in which the DE-10 is connected between the AUX SEND and AUX RTN jacks for applying the desired effect to a sound.
  • Page 19: How To Use The Single (1 And 2) Mode

    The following shows the examples of using the single mode for a live performance, in which a guitar, keyboard and microphone are directly connected to the DE-10, while the effect outputs of the DE-10 are connected to a keyboard amplifier or guitar amplifier.
  • Page 20 MISC G. MULTI 1 When you change the position of the MODE, EFFECT TYPE, CHORUS G. MULTI 2 or VARIATION switch, the DE-10 resets the internal DSP PITCH B. MULTI and the output signal disappears momentarily. This is FLANGER VO. MULTI due to not a malfunction.
