[. . . ] Incidentally, the default value is MC 4 which happens to be the Left Foot Controller on the X15. The MIDI DataMONITOR may be selected for use in this screen to display MIDI data being sent. The third screen displays the LOW value (minimum value) of the parameter's range. The fourth screen displays the HIGH value (maximum value) of the parameter's range. These parameters may be "swapped" to make the value change in a reverse or opposite direction. Change the value until the bottom of the screen displays MIDI DataMONITOR. (turn the Encoder counterclockwise) You are allowed to change between MIDI controllers on the device you are sending MIDI data from (keyboards, X-15, etc. ) and view the corresponding data in this screen. The top half of the display will show the numerical value of the MIDI data being received by the SGX 2000. Displayed in the bottom half is the actual MIDI controller being used. When you change the controller, its MIDI data will be displayed in the top half of the LCD. DESCRIPTION OF ALGORITHMS The SGX 2000 offers over seventy effects selections for you to choose from. Each effect may have several types to select for specifically narrowing down the particular sound you are looking for. These are: Analog Effects, Signal Frequency Shaping, Swept or Modulated Effect, Natural Reverberation, Gated Reverberation, Delay, and Utility/Level. 20 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. Some parameters were specificly tuned to be used with foot controllers. Specificly, all compressor output, envelope filter tuning, and any threshold, attack, release or range parameter and the Distortion output when using TURBO, or JAZZ TUBES, SOLID WARM or TUBE STACK. The algorithm name and abbreviation are shown in brackets [ ] under the effect title i. e. Default settings for each parameter are shown in brackets [ ] at the end of the Parameter Values i. e. NOTE: When setting up your own presets, select the digital effect you want most in your effects chain first. By doing this, you are able to determine what other effects may be combined with the selected effect. ANALOG EFFECT ALGORITHMS COMPRESSOR [COMPRESSOR], [CMP] Parameters: DRIVE: 0 to 100% in 2% increments [78] SLOPE: 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 10:1, LIMIT, RVRS1, RVRS2 [4:1] ATTACK: 2, 3, 4, 7, 14, 30, 50ms [4ms] RELEASE: 200, 300, 350, 500, 750ms, 1, 2 sec [750ms] OUTPUT: 0 to 100% in 2% increments [94%] The compressor in the SGX has all the controls you need for dynamics processing. The Attack automatically adjusts to the audio and you can set it from 2 to 50mSec.
