Getting Started

Main Features

The DPS-V55 is a four channels multi–effect processor.
Four channel construction
The DPS-V55 is outfitted with four inputs (and outputs) and can
route the input signals in a variety of different ways depending on
the chosen effect algorithms and program structures.
Flexible effect algorithms and program structures
The DPS-V55 incorporates a total of 45 different effect algorithms
divided into three different types: 4ch, 2ch (stereo), and Mono-
Pair. Each effect contains several adjustable parameters and can be
easily modified. In addition 2ch and/or Mono-Pair effects can be
used in combination within a program, and the program structure
can be switched between serial and parallel, allowing you to take
full advantage of the four channel construction.
User-friendly operating environment
A primary concern when creating the DPS–V55, was to provide an
intuitive operating system for creative sound control. All effect
parameters can be accessed directly using the EDIT PARAMETER
buttons.
Large memory banks
In addition to the 200 different preset programs (numbers
001~200) created by musicians and engineers from around the
world (preset memory), there is also room for you to store up to
200 of your own original programs in the user memory (numbers
201~400). We've also included a search function so you can recall
the programs you need without having to remember their
program numbers.
Search function
The search function lets you locate programs you want by
specifying the type of effects they contain. (See page 12.)
TAP function
The TAP function lets you adjust certain parameters simply by
tapping on the ENTER (TAP) button. (See page 15.)
MIDI compatibility
The MIDI interface lets you conduct program change and data
save operations. (See page 17.)

How to Use This Manual

These operating instructions describe setup and operating
procedures for the DPS-V55 multi–effect processor.
Before using this unit we do recommend taking a glance at the
"Functional Hierarchy" chart on page 5 and reading
"Understanding Effect Algorithms and Program Structures" on
page 8 to familiarize yourself with the unit.
"Hooking Up" shows you how to make different kinds of
connections between this unit and instruments, mixers, and/or
components.
The remaining chapters show you how to operate the unit. Refer
to each as necessary.
