2000 eventide inc. important safety information ? before powering up the unit, check that the voltage selector on the back panel is set correctly. ? do not remove any covers or panels from the unit when the power is connected. ? no operator access to the internals of the unit is permitted - servicing must be performed by qualified personnel only. ? the unit must not be operated with a damaged or ungrounded power cord. ? suitable ventilation must be provided for the unit at a ll times. in particular, the rear and side vents must not be obstructed. how to use this manual ? read this first this manual covers the DSP7000 family , which currently includes the DSP7000 and dsp7500, as well as the dsp4000b+. in the text, all of these models will be referred to jointly as DSP7000. any aspects which do not refer to all members of the family will be made cl ear in the text. any references specific to the DSP7000 also apply to the dsp4000b+. each model in the family has a different set of factor y presets ? a list of these for the relevant machine will be found in the manual?s binder. the first and second chapters of this manual are the most important ones. the first is the overview and quickstart chapter. in it you will find essential informati on regarding the front panel, the back panel, and the general structure of the DSP7000. after these pre liminaries are out of the way, you?ll start using the DSP7000 and learning the basic methodologies that you will employ whenever you use the DSP7000. the overview and quickstart chapter is not meant to be complete. it?s meant to get you up and running fast, circumventing thornier issues in favor of speed. if you would like to know more about a particular topic discussed in this chapter, look to the abundant references contained ther ein. they?ll point you to ?chunkier? discussions in the remainder of the manual. ideally, we would have you read through the overview and quickstart guide with the DSP7000 in front of you, following the examples. after you finish the quickstart guide, we?d have you play with the DSP7000 for awhile. once the initial ?new box euphoria? wore off a bit, we?d have you sit down and read the opera- tion chapter. a true appreciation and mastery of th e DSP7000 cannot be obtained without reading the manual! we?d have you consult the appendices only wh en you need specific, technical information. finally, when you need to find information days, weeks, months, and years down the road, we?d have you use the comprehensive table of contents and index . note: this manual is intended for DSP7000 family un its that were manufactured after 1 april 2003 running version 3.0 software. most, but not all, of it will apply to other units as well. the DSP7000 family operating manual page 4 the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 ? 2000 eventide inc. overview and quickstart the big picture the members of the eventide DSP7000 family are prog rammable, multipurpose, 24-bit/96khz digital audio signal processors with ultrashifter ? capability and are the stereo, single-processor companion product range to the eventide?s orville. that?s a lot of adje ctives! they are the successors to a long, proud line of digital signal processors that stretches back to a ti me when most audio manufacturers didn?t know digital audio from morse code. we?ve loaded the DSP7000 with features that put it in a class by itself. the variety and depth of its programs are truly amazing, from lush reverbs, to choruses, to flanges, to delays, to pitch shifters, to dynamics, to eqs, to filters, to distortions, to synthesizers, to sa mplers, to ring modulators, and to everything in-between. most frequency and time-dependent parameters (e.g. dela ys, lfo's) synchronize to a system tempo for ease of use. and if that?s not enough, the dsp7500 boasts nearly three minutes of sample time in addition to the 40 seconds of delay time! and for the user who is interested in making his or her own programs (if the huge number of factory pro- grams aren?t enough!), the DSP7000 family continues the ?modular programming paradigm? that made the dsp4000 famous. programs are composed of individual building blocks, or ?modules,? that allow the user to create original programs. inspiration and creativity are given no bounds. . . the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 5 ? 2000 eventide inc. knobs, keys, and jacks if this is your first time learning the DSP7000, don?t be put off by some of the rather in-depth descriptions that will follow; they exist for your future reference ( once you understand the DSP7000 and need a quick bit of information ). for now, concentrate on what th e various knobs and jacks are called . their use will be explained progres- sively throughout the rest of this manual. the front panel a) level meters these measure the signals at the analog inputs, the digital inputs, the input and out- put of the processor, the analog outputs, and the digital outputs. the highest led indicates a clipped signal, and every led below that falls off at -3db per decrement, with the exception of the bottom one, which indicates the presence of any signal. see the level meters on page 28. b) system sampling rate and external sync indicator. the top four leds display the system sampling rate of the DSP7000: 96 khz, 88.2 khz, 48 khz, or 44.1 khz. when solidly lit, they indicate that the system sampling rate is exact ( +/- 0.05% ). when blinking, they indicate that the system sampling rate is between one of the fixed rates ( the led corresponding to the nearest sampling rate blinks ). the bot- tom led, ext , reflects the current external sync status ( it blinks if there?s a problem ). see understanding the ?system sampling rate and exte rnal sync indicator? when using the inter- nal clock on page 35. see understanding the ?system sampling rate and exte rnal sync indicator? when using the exter- nal clock on page 37. c) bypass press this key to bypass or, depending on how you have your DSP7000 set up, mute the machine. see bypassing and muting on page 37. d) soft keys these four keys select the menus or ev ents described on the bottom line of the dis- play. see understanding the display and soft keys on page 13. the DSP7000 family operating manual page 6 the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 ? 2000 eventide inc. e) the display the display tells you what?s going on. the top line displays the currently running program and the display area you?re working in. the bottom line is dedicated to the four soft keys directly below the display. th e middle section of the display changes depending on what you?re doing! see understanding the display and soft keys on page 13. f) cursor keys press these keys to move the cursor on the display. see using the cursor keys, th e select key, the numeric keypad, and the knob on page 15. g) program press this key briefly to access program functions such as loading, saving, deleting, etc. see program load, save, delete, etc. on page 56. press and hold this key for one second to access the setup storage area where ?setup configurations ? are loaded and saved . see storing and loading setups on page 66. h) parameter press this key briefly to access parameters for the program that is running. press and hold this key for one second to access the patch editor. see the separate programmer?s manual for patch editor information. j) select press this key briefly to select something highlighted by the cursor. press and hold this key for one second to set up a remote control for whatever pa- rameter is highlighted on the display. see remote controlling parameters on page 53. to change the ?one second hold time,? alter th e ?key hold? parameter on the [misc] menu page in the setup area (you may have to press the setup key several times to find it). k) the knob spin the knob to change the value of whatever parameter is highlighted. see using the cursor keys, the select ke y, the numeric keypad, and the knob on page 15. l) the numeric keypad use the numbers, decimal point, and minus sign to enter numeric values or to enter numeric text in a text field. use the cxl key to ?cancel? the last entered digit ( like a backspace key on a computer ). use the inc/dec keys to increment or decrement a parame- ter?s value. use the ent key after you?ve entered a numeric value. see using the cursor keys, the select ke y, the numeric keypad, and the knob on page 15. m) busy led if a memory card is in place, this led illuminates when data is being written to the card. don?t remove the memory card if this led is lit! if no memory card is in place, this illuminates when data is present at the midi in port or at the serial port. use the latter feature to troubleshoot communication problems between the DSP7000 and the rest of the world. the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 7 ? 2000 eventide inc. n) memory card slot insert a memory card here to add new prog rams or to save your own. press the re- lease to the right of the slot to remove the card ( but not when the busy led is lit! ). see memory cards on page 26. o) levels pressing this key accesses menus for metering and levels. see controlling levels on page 28. p) setup pressing this key accesses menus for digita l configuration, midi configuration, ser- vice utilities, data dump utilities, and program advance options. q) power flip this switch to bring the DSP7000 to life! when the power is off the unit is by- passed, i.e., each audio input is conne cted to its corresponding audio output. the DSP7000 family operating manual page 8 the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 ? 2000 eventide inc. 3 2 1 the back panel a) ac voltage selector line up the dot with the triangle so that your preferred voltage is up . it is absolutely essential that you select the voltage corresponding to your local ac power! b) fuse holder a 1-amp slow blow fuse. always re place it with the correct value. c) ac port connect an iec standard 3-prong ac power cord here. the center post is chassis ground. d) analog audio inputs the DSP7000?s analog inputs accept either unbalanced 1/4? con- nectors or balanced xlr connectors. the DSP7000?s xlr input connectors are female. pin #1 is ground. pin #2 is +phase (hot) and pin #3 is -phase. to ?unbalance? the xlr jack, use both pins #1 and #3 as ground and use pin #2 as ?hot.? if either pins #2 or #3 are uncon- nected, you will get more noise and hum than signal ! these may be used as both line and guitar inputs, depending on the input level set- ting. e) analog audio outputs the DSP7000?s xlr analog audio output jacks are male. pin #1 is ground. pin #2 is +phase (hot) and pin #3 is -phase. to ?unbalance? the jack, use pins #1 and #3 as ground and use pin #2 as ?hot.? if either pins #2 or #3 are unconnected, you will get more distortion than signal ! see controlling the level of the analog and digital inputs on page 29. do not connect these outputs to a phantom powered microphone input ?damage may be caused to either the 7000 or to the phantom power supply. the peak output level from the DSP7000 will probably be too high for a low-level microphone input. aes/ebu digital audio in put/output (professional) use these connectors to connect professional digital audi o gear to the DSP7000. these cables are differen- 3 2 1 1/4" the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 9 ? 2000 eventide inc. tial with a shielded twisted pair. eventide recomme nds the use of purpose-manufactured digital audio ca- bles, which have low capacitance and a contro lled impedance, for carrying aes signals. ordinary microphone cables will usually work at 48khz, but are likely to reduce range and add jitter and possible distortion to the signal. it is unlikely that microphone cable will prove sa tisfactory for 96khz opera- tion. f) aes/ebu input jack if the parameter dig in on the clock menu page in the setup area is set to aes/ebu , then digital inputs are accepted at this jack. g) aes/ebu output jack if the parameter dig out on the clock menu page in the setup area is set to aes/ebu , then both the aes/ebu and s/p dif outputs will use the ?pro fessional? digital format. s/p dif digital audio input/output (consumer) s/p dif is a consumer digital audio standard, with two audio channels encoded into a single connector. use these connectors to hook up the DSP7000 to cd players, dat recorders, and other audio gear using this format. the connecto rs are two-conductor rca jacks. your plug should have the shield connected to the sleeve with the single shielded conduc- tor connected at the tip. eventide recommends the use of professional quality cabl es made of rg-59/u coaxial cable. ordinary "hi- fi" type leads will probably prove inadequate, especially at the higher sample rates. h) s/p dif input/output jacks if the parameter dig in on the clock menu page in the setup area is set to s/p dif , then digital inputs are accepted at the s/p dif input jack. if the parameter dig out on the clock menu page in the setup area is set to s/p dif , then both the aes/ebu and s/p dif outputs will use the ?consumer? digital format. see s/p dif & aes/ebu on page 33. j) wordclock in and out use these jacks to sync the DSP7000 to wordclock or to output wordclock. see using an external clock on page 36. k) foot pedal jacks 1 and 2 stereo 1/4? connectors. the sleeve is ground reference, the ring is +5 volts (source), and the tip is an analog signal from 0 to 5 volts. connect either foot switches, foot pedals, or control voltage sources to these inputs to modulate parameters or to trig- the DSP7000 family operating manual page 10 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ? 2000 eventide inc. ger events (including remote program loads). see foot pedals 1 and 2 on page 39. m) relay jack two relays are connected to this stereo 1/4" connector. they can be controlled from suitable programs, allowing the dsp7 000 to drive real-world equipment, and can switch up to 1.0a at 30v dc. relay #1 is connected between ring and sleeve, while relay # 2 is connected between ring an d tip. all of these connections are elec- trically isolated from the DSP7000. see the separate programming manual for in- formation on controlling the relays. midi is used for instrument to instrument digi tal communications. the DSP7000 sends and re- ceives eventide system exclusive messages that allow a midi sequencer to remote control the DSP7000, among other things. in addition, the DSP7000 may respond to standard midi messages and may output standard midi messages. the DSP7000 has three midi ports: n) in the DSP7000 accepts (and processes) midi messages received at the midi in port. o) out the DSP7000 sends midi messages to other devices via the out port. midi messages are also sent out the serial port if they are ?enabled.? p) thru any midi information received at the mi di in port is echoed directly to the midi thru port regardless of the DSP7000?s configuration ( as long as the DSP7000 is powered up) . with the memory card removed, the busy led on the front panel illuminates whenever a midi message is received at the midi in port. note: if the serial port is ?enabled? and midi is ?enabled,? a command received over either the seria l port or the midi in port causes the port not receiving the command to be igno red until the command is complete. see midi setup on page 40. q) serial port an ibm pc type rs232 connector that looks like a modem or printer to a connected computer. connect a "9 pin" serial cable to this port to transfer information to and from a personal computer (do not use the "null modem" type of cable designed for file transfer betwe en two computers - it will not work). with the memory card removed, the busy led on the front panel illuminates whenever a message is received at the serial port. note: if the serial port is ?enabled? and midi is ?enabled,? a command received over eith er the serial port or the midi in port causes the port not receiving the command to be igno red until the command is complete. see setting up the serial port on page 68. the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 11 ? 2000 eventide inc. getting around and alte ring parameters adjusting the brightness and contrast of the display before we begin to describe the DSP7000?s interface, we ought to make sure you can see the display! adjust the contrast of the display by repeatedly pressing the setup key until you see the display soft key. turn the knob to adjust cont rast or press the down cursor key and turn the knob to adjust bright ness. the ?areas? of the DSP7000 the DSP7000?s interface is divided into several functional ?areas.? you access each ar ea by pressing its key. you?ll know which area you?re in because the led next to its key will be illuminated. the areas are: program press the program key to access this area. inside you?ll find utilities for loading programs, saving programs, deleting programs, comparing a tweaked program with the saved version, and creating bank s (?manila folders? for organizing pro- grams). press the program key to access additional soft keys . see program load, save, delete, etc. on page 56. setup storage press and hold down the program key for one second to access this area. the led next to the program key blinks. inside you?ll find utilities for loading, sav- ing, or deleting ?setups.? see storing and loading setups on page 66. to change the ?hold time," see miscellaneous setup options on page 66. the DSP7000 family operating manual page 12 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ? 2000 eventide inc. parameter press the parameter key to access this area. here you?ll find the parameters for the currently loaded programs. continue pressing the parameter key to access additional soft keys (if available) . see parameters on page 63. the parameter key also gives access to the built-in patch editor. press and hold down the parameter key for one second to access this area. the led next to the parameter key blinks. the patch editor allows you to create your own effects from scratch or to customize programs that already exist. see the separate programmer?s manual for more information on the patch editor. to change the ?hold time," see miscellaneous setup options on page 66. levels press the levels key to access this area. inside you?ll find level and level meter pa- rameters. see controlling levels on page 28. setup press the setup key to access this global, ?catch-all? area. inside you?ll find digital setup controls, global midi setup, global ?external? setup, display contrast/brightness, the pedal jacks? setup, dump data utili- ties, next/previous program advance, and miscellaneous service utilities. press the setup key more than once to access additional soft keys . the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 13 ? 2000 eventide inc. understanding the display and soft keys every ?area? in the DSP7000 makes use of the display, so understanding the display is critical. a generic screen of the sort typically found in the parameter area is shown below. it exemplifies various aspects of the display that remain constant no matter what area of the DSP7000 you?re in. the upper left-hand corner of the display always shows the name of the program currently running. in the example shown above, we?re running the program ? centering echoes .? the upper right-hand corner of the display always describes the menu page you?re look ing at. in the example shown above, we?re looking at the ? tone controls ? menu page. situated along the bottom of the display are the so-called ? soft keys. ? the four physical keys located be- low the display select menu pages or events corresponding to these soft keys. (they?re called ?soft? be- cause their function changes depending on context.) the ?more soft keys? indicators are the little arrows next to the soft keys shown above. they indicate that if you pr ess the ?area? key you used to access the current display again , you will access more soft keys . the arrows are meant to imply that more pages exist in a nether-world beyond the display. . . for example, press the setup key to see the ?more soft keys? indicators. press the setup key again to get more soft keys . press the setup key twice more to return to the original set of soft keys . the DSP7000 family operating manual page 14 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ? 2000 eventide inc. a ?stacked? soft key (such as midi in the screen above) indicates that if you repeatedly press the ?stacked? soft key, you will access more menus. the graphic is meant to imply that there are more pages lying ?below? the ?top? one. for example, press the setup key. press the stacked soft key midi . press it again to get a second menu page. press it again to get a third menu page. press it twice more to return to the original menu page. pressing a soft key repeatedly that is not stacked puts the DSP7000 into ?self-destruct? mode. just kid- ding. it has no effect. when you press a soft key, it becomes highlighted. the middle secti on of the screen is a menu page cor- responding to that highlighted soft key . use the cursor keys to ?move around? on the menu page. use the knob , the numeric keypad , and the select key to change and enter values. see using the cursor keys, the select ke y, the numeric keypad, and the knob on page 15. before moving on, we ought to say that not all soft keys are menu pages. some soft keys are ?triggers.? a ?trigger? is a key that triggers an event, get it? you?ll always know the difference between menu page soft keys and trigger soft keys because menu page soft keys are rectangular, whereas trigger soft keys are hexagonal. on this screen main and info are menu pages, and the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 15 ? 2000 eventide inc. using the cursor keys, the select key, the numeric keypad, and the knob we use the cursor keys, the knob , the select key, and the numeric keypad to navigate and manipu- late the menu pages found in the parameter , patch editor, levels , and setup areas. we?ll discuss their use in the program and setup storage areas in a bit. use of the cursor keys is straightforward. the left and right cursor keys move the cursor left and right, respectively. if you move the cursor ?past the edge of the screen," it will ?wrap? around to the other side. the up and down cursor keys move the cursor up and down, respectively. again, the top and bot- tom ?wrap? around. use the knob , numeric keypad , or the inc/dec keys to alter the value of a numeric parameter. for example, spin the knob on this screen to change the value of mix or enter a new value directly with the numeric keypad (pressing ent when you?re done). use the knob or the inc/dec keys to alter the value of a text parameter. for example, spin the knob or press the inc key to change shape from sine to triangle on this screen. numeric parameters and text parameters cover 99% of the parameters you?ll see in the DSP7000, but there are a few more esoteric parameters you?ll encounter. one such oddball is the ?trigger? parameter. ?triggers? trig ger things to happen. you place the cursor over a trigger param eter, and trigger it by pressing select . other oddballs include ?taps? and ?graphics.? see taps on page 63. see graphics and curves on page 65. ganged parameters in some cases there are multiple, related parameters that are usually adjusted together. to make such ?mass adjustments? easy, a feature exists that gangs parameters together. the main menu page in the levels area contains a good example of ganged parameters. the purpose of this menu page is to assign signal levels and wet/dry ratios. such assignments are typically made in stereo gangs. so, both parameters are initially ganged together. spin the knob and both values change. now, let?s say you only want to change out 1 . press the down cursor key to ?ungang? the pair. now spin the knob; only the value for out 1 changes. to get to a screen like this one, first press the program key. scroll through the banks (using the left or right cursor keys and the knob ) to ?phasers." scroll through the programs in that bank to ? stereoizing- phaser ." load it and press the parameter key. the DSP7000 family operating manual page 16 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ? 2000 eventide inc. pressing the down cursor key again allows you to adjust out 2 , while pressing the up cursor key re- gangs the parameters. gangs are much easier to use than to describe, so take a minute and play with the gangs on this menu page. you will find gangs sprink led liberally throughout the DSP7000 as their presence facilitates many tasks. using the cursor keys and the knob in the program area now, let?s investigate the use of the cursor keys and the knob in the program area (they work just the same in the setup storage area) . things are only a little bit different here than in the other areas. the box on the display with the word ? banks ? in it is called the ?bank field.? the box below the banks field with the word ? programs ? in it is called the ?programs field.? in the program area, the up and down cursor keys scroll through programs and the knob scrolls through banks when the cursor is in the ?bank field? (banks are ?manila folders? for programs. see banks on page 56 ). the select key, the the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 17 ? 2000 eventide inc. entering or changing text in some menus, it will be necessary to enter or chan ge text. for example, you will often change text when saving a new program. the method by which this is done is straightforward, albeit a bit tedious . to play along, go to the program area and press the the DSP7000 family operating manual page 18 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ?

connectors. you can plug a guitar into the 1/4" jacks, but you will need to turn up the input gain. see setting input levels on page 20. hook up the balanced analog outputs to suitable input r ecipients, such as an analog mixer or an amplifier. hook up the digital inputs to suitable output sources, such as a daw (digital audio workstation) or a key- board with digital outputs. the source of your digital signal must come from the same device (because a sin- the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 19 ? 2000 eventide inc. gle cable carries two channels) and is taken from either the aes/ebu input jack or the s/p dif input jack (see below to learn how to switch between the two). hook up the digital outputs to a suitable input recipi ent, such as a daw, a sampler, or a dat machine. while the DSP7000?s output will be present at both the aes/ebu jack and the s/p dif jack, the digital format at both will either be ?pro? or ?consumer? at both jacks (see below to learn how to switch between the two). note: you don?t have to hook up all of the inputs an d outputs! you can, for instance, feed the DSP7000 with analog inputs and output digitally, or vice versa. to make sure we aren?t stopped before we start, go to the clock menu page in the setup area (you may have to press the setup key a few times to find it) . if you aren?t using the digital inputs, set the source parameter to int 48.0 khz as shown to the right (using the cursor keys and the knob ) . if you are using the digital inputs, select whether the DSP7000 will use the s/p dif inputs or the aes/ebu inputs with the parameter dig in on the clock menu page in the setup area. next, change the clock source to either s/p dif 1/2 or aes/ebu 1/2 (only one or the other will be available and will reflect your choice for dig in ). digital outputs are ?sent? to both the aes/ebu output jack and the s/p dif output jack. select the correct format (either ?pro - aes/ebu? or ?consumer ? s/p dif?) with the parameter dig out . the DSP7000 is also capable of sample rate conversion (src). that is, it can adjust the sample rate at the digital inputs to match its own internal sample rate. to use this feature, leave the source parameter on the clock menu page in the setup area set to int 48.0 khz or int 44.1 khz . then press the clock soft key again and turn src mode 1/2 to on . to read about the digital setup in more detail, see digital setup on page 33. the DSP7000 family operating manual page 20 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ? 2000 eventide inc. setting input levels as we?re sure you know, getting a high, but not distorted, signal at every point in a signal path is essential. the level meters help us to achieve this goal. in the levels area go to the meter menu page to reach this screen. adjust source (with the knob or the inc / dec keys) to read either analog in or digital in depending on which input levels you would like to view. the level meters now reflect eith er the analog or the digital inputs. in this cursory introduction, we?ll only fiddle with the levels at the inputs but, rest assured, you can change levels anywhere in the signal path. see: ? controlling the level of the analog and digital inputs on page 29. ? wet/dry ratios and output levels on page 31. ? controlling the level of the analog and digital outputs on page 31. of course, it?s always best to optimize levels at their source (leaving the DSP7000?s boost/cut at 0db). but if you can?t, then go to the inputs menu page in the levels area. there you can boost/cut the analog inputs by +30db/-90db before the analog-to- digital converter with the gaintrim parameter. use the analog parameter to cut the analog inputs by 0db/- 100db after the analog-to-digital converter . use the digital parameter to cut the digital inputs by 0db/- 100db. assuming you set the source of the level meters to analog in or digital in on the meter menu page in the levels area, the meters reflect the input levels (after gaintrim is applied, but before analog or digital cuts are made). you want the loudest portions of the signal to approach, but not reach, the red ?clip? led at the top of the level meters. if you do clip a signal, you won?t hurt the DSP7000, but you will hurt your chances for career advancement - a clipped signal typically sounds nasty. (note: because the DSP7000 is a ?0db insertion loss? box, it is possible, though very unlikely, to have undistorted signals at both the analog and digital inpu ts that become distorted when summed. if this is an issue (e.g., with heavily compressed material), set both the analog and digital parameters to ?3db. ) for more information on setting input levels see controlling the level of the analog and digital inputs on page 29. the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 21 ?

key to press in such a situation. let?s arrange things so that pressing the b b b y y y p p p a a a s s s s s s key mutes all of the DSP7000?s out- puts. go to the clock menu in the setup area. change the value of the bypass parameter to mute as shown above. now press the b b b y y y p p p a a a s s s s s s key. the yellow led next to it will light - you?ve muted the DSP7000. to un-mute, simply press the b b b y y y p p p a a a s s s s s s key again . for more information see bypassing and muting on page 37. loading programs now, all we need to do is load a program into the DSP7000. to do that, enter the program area. you?ll see a box that says ? banks ? and a box that says ? programs .? banks are ?manila folders? for programs; many programs with a common theme are saved in a single bank . there can be as many as 100 bank ?slots? in the internal memory of the DSP7000, and each bank contains 128 program ?slots.? the number of program ?slots? that can actually ?contain? prog rams is limited to the amount of storage space available. see the ?size? of a program and its ramifications for storage on page 57. the "speed" indicator (slightly like a lightning symbol) indicates that this program can be loaded and run in high speed mode, for use at 88.2khz and 96khz sampling rates. see sampling rates on page 33 for more information on speed modes. use the left cursor key to place the cursor in the ?banks field? and use the knob to scroll through banks. use the up and down cursor keys to scroll through programs. use the s s s e e e l l l e e e c c c t t t key, the the DSP7000 family operating manual page 22 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ?

bigger is wider ? is now loaded on the screen to the right. parameters simply loading programs probably won?t prove satisfying for too long; you?ll want to mess with the parameters on the programs you load. this is accomplished in the parameter area. very little can be said generally about what you?ll find in the parameter area because every program in the DSP7000 is a unique ?algorithm.? each unique algorithm (i.e., program) calls for its own unique parameters. to learn more about the ?algorithmic? nature of the DSP7000?s programs, read the separate programmer?s manual. a huge number of the DSP7000's lfo's, delay times, reverb de- cays, etc. are designed to synch to an system tempo defined on the tempo menu page in the setup area. say you're working on a song that?s at 130 bpm. simply set the system tempo to 130 and most of the DSP7000's lfo's an d delay times will be appropriate for the song. no more calculators. you can also derive the sys- tem tempo from a midiclock signal applied to the DSP7000's midi input. simply set source to midiclock . parameters that synch to the system tempo are identified by " t_ " such as " t_rate " and " t_fmrate " and are adjusted in musical terms such as " whole note " and " dot 1/8 ". you will find them in the parameter area of most programs. ? see system tempo on page 63 ? for loop programs, see system timer on page 64 you will usually find an info or about menu page in the parameter area. in it, you will find general information about what the program does along with any notes concerning special parameters or ?nonobvious things.? many, but by no means all, of the programs in the DSP7000 currently support an "expert mode? feature. the expert mode parameter controlling this feature is found on the misc menu page in the setup area (you may have to press the s s s e e e t t t u u u p p p key a few times to find it). a setting of 0 hides all but the most relevant menu pages in the parameter area. the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 23 ? 2000 eventide inc. conversely, a setting of 9 reveals all of the available menu pages in the parameter area. settings between 0 and 9 reveal an increasing number of menu pages in the parameter area. leave expert mode at 9 if you like lots of parameters to tinker with, at 0 if you find lots of parameters an- noying, or somewhere in-between if your tastes fall somewhere in-between. see miscellaneous setup options on page 66 for information on the other parameters on this screen. it should also be mentioned that any parameter on an y menu page can be ?remote controlled? via midi or the rear foot pedal jacks. telling you how to do this entails discussing voluminous topics such as setting up midi globals, setting up foot pedal globals, and naviga ting a ?remote control? menu page. such a discus- sion wouldn?t be in keeping with the concept of this quickstart section. if this really piques your interest, go ahead and read: ? setting up the external controllers on page 39. ?

memory cards all functions that work on internal user memory also work on memory cards. a standard memory card is 512 kilobytes, although the DSP7000 will support cards up to 4 megabytes. (note: memory cards must be ? pcmcia type 1 or 2 static ram card ? - the DSP7000 does not support "flash" cards.) a memory card will not maintain memory if the battery dies or if the ba ttery is removed. to change the battery without losing information, change it while it's plugged into a pow ered-up harmonizer. a conser vative estimate puts the lifetime of a battery at a year. . . like gambling on the st ock market, bet only what you can afford to lose. . . you can also use the vsig program (visit www.eventide.com) to save edited presets to disk on a remote computer. this gives you a valuable safety copy. eventide and other suppliers can provide rechargeable cards that do not need battery changes. these need to be occasionally placed in the slot of a powered-up system to top up their batteries. normal use of the card will usually keep the battery charged. insert a memory card by pushing it into its slot unt il it ?locks?

represents the analog parameter on the main menu page in the levels area as shown to the right. ovals represent points in the signal flow that can be viewed with the level meters. as you can see, the analog and digital inputs are su mmed or mixed before entering the processor. further, the aes/ebu and the s/p dif inputs cannot be used at the same time. the rest is fairly straightforward and will be discussed in detail in the following sections. the level meters once you understand the level meters, you can adjust levels along the signal path. there are two meters to the left of the display, one for the left channel and one for the right channel. by altering the source parameter on the meter menu page in the levels area, you can change the point in the signal path that the meters measure. your choices are: analog in measure the level at the analog inputs after the gaintrim ( levels / inputs / gaintrim ). digital in measure the level at the digital inputs before the input cut ( levels / inputs / digi- tal ). machine in measure the level at the inputs to the DSP7000?s processor. machine out measure the level at the outputs to the DSP7000?s processor. analog out measure the level at the analog outputs before output cuts are applied. the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 29 ? 2000 eventide inc. digital out measure the level at the digital outputs after output cuts are applied. the parameter decay time determines how long the meters take to go from full ?deflection? to zero measuring an impulse. the parameter peak hold determines how long the meters hold their highest reading. the top-most led on each meter indicates that the si gnal is clipping. the led below the top-most one indicates that the signal is just below clipping (-0.06 db). each led below the second falls off at -3db per decrement, with the exception of the bottom one, which lights if the signal is above -40db. you can use the level meters to verify that your internal gain structure is in good shape. you generally want to keep levels near, but not touching, the red clip led. to achieve this, it?s always better to boost or cut an output . only if a signal level cannot be optimized by an output boost/cut should you resort to altering an input level! controlling the level of the analog and digital inputs signals come into the DSP7000 from the outside wo rld via the analog and digital inputs. adjust the boost/cut of each of these inputs on the inputs menu page in the levels area. such boost/cuts will often be made in ?gangs,? however, you can boost/cut any of th e inputs independently of the others by pressing the down cursor key. notice that the analog input has two parameters for gain adjustment: one before the analog to digital converter (adc) and one after the adc. use the gaintrim parameter to get a good analog level into the adc, and use the analog parameter to adjust the loudness of the analog signal relative to the digital signal (assuming that you?re using both the analog and digital inputs). to monitor the input levels, go to the meter menu page in the levels area. change source to either analog in or digital in depending on which you want to monitor. again, the analog levels shown on the level meters are after the gaintrim found on the inputs menu page. this means that it is possible to overdrive an input to the DSP7000, decrease that overdriven level with the inputs / gaintrim parameter, and show no clipping on the level meters! to avoid such a situation, it is advisable to boost/cut the signals coming into the DSP7000 at their source. doing so also results in a better gain structure! the moral ? use the gaintrim parameter on the inputs page only as a last resort. note: all of the parameters discussed in this section can be ?r emote controlled? via midi or the foot pedal jacks. to learn ho w, read: the DSP7000 family operating manual page 30 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ?

in the diagram). a setting of 100% (?wet?) places a completely effected signal at the outputs (the top ?fork? in the diagram). settings between 0% and 100% have a greater or lesser degree of uneffected signal at the output. this parameter is typically left at 100% in most studio situations, while guitarists and their ilk will vary it to achieve a proper wet/dry mix. note th at software versions 3.0 and above have improved wet/dry dynamics: in older versions a 50% mix caused th e output voltage to drop by 6db relative to 0% mix or 100% mix. no more! now a 50% mix is just as loud as either extreme. the signal level after the wet/dry fork can be cut from 0 to 100 db with the out level parameter. note: all of the parameters discussed in this section can be ?remote controlled? via midi or the foot pedal jacks. to learn how, read: ? setting up the external controllers on page 39. ? external modulation and trigger menu pages on page 42. ? remote control ling parameters on page 53. controlling the level of t he analog and digital outputs you can control the level of the analog outputs and the digital outputs. these adjustments are made to match the DSP7000's output levels to other equipment and would not normally be used as level controls. you should leave these levels set at 0db where possible in order to get the best possible audio performance out of your DSP7000. the right side of the main menu page in the levels area controls the analog and digital output levels. adjust the analog parameter to adjust the analog outputs from -90 to +3 db. be aware that this gain/cut is applied after the output metering and dac. adjust the digital parameter to cut the digital outputs from 0 to -100 db. note: both of these parameters can be ?remote controlled?

2000 eventide inc. digital setup digital setup overview before we look at the DSP7000?s digital setup in detail, let?s take in the ?big picture.? all of the DSP7000?s analog to digital conversi on and digital to analog conversion is 24 bit. the DSP7000 sports two digital inputs and two digital outputs. unlike the analog inputs and outputs, the digital inputs and outputs must be received or sent in pairs (because a single cable carries two channels). the digital input can come from either the s/p dif or th e aes/ebu jack, but not both. digital output is seen at both the s/p dif and aes/ebu outputs, but the form at at both jacks is either ?consumer? or ?pro,? but not both. the DSP7000 assumes that signals at the digital inputs ar e 24 bit. no harm occurs if the input is in fact less than 24 bit; subsequent processing will fill the lower bits. the system sampling rate is derived from either an internal clock or an external clock. the internal clock rates supplied by the DSP7000 include 44.1khz, 48khz, 88.2khz, 96khz, and the rate of an optional user- supplied crystal (see page 72) ( note that 32khz and 44.059khz are not supplied ). the external clock is taken from the selected digital inputs and can range from ~30khz to ~50khz and from ~54khz to ~99khz. the digital outputs are at the system sampling rate , and all analog to digital and digital to analog conversion is done at the system sampling rate . s/p dif & aes/ebu the digital inputs are received at either the aes/ebu input jack or the s/p dif input jack. to select between the two, use the dig in parameter on the clock menu page in the setup area. for the time being, ignore the ot her parameters on this menu page. the digital outputs are seen at both the aes/ebu output jack and the s/p dif output jack. however, the signal at both jacks can only be one format : ?consumer? (s/p dif) or ?pro? (aes/ebu). to select between the two formats, use the dig out parameter on the clock menu page in the setup area. put another way, you can connect a cable to the aes/ebu jack, set dig out to s/p dif , and still get signal. however, that signal will be in ?con- sumer? format. note: the digital inputs need not be assigned to the same protocol as the digital outputs, as is shown to the right. in other words, the digital inputs can be received at the aes/ebu input jack and sent to the digital outputs in ?consumer? (s/p dif) format. or vice versa . sampling rates the DSP7000 can operate over a range of sampling rates from 32khz to 100khz. because the higher sampling rates demand more of the signal processing resources, some large presets will the DSP7000 family operating manual page 34 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ? 2000 eventide inc. not operate at the higher rates. to allow for this, the DSP7000 has two "speeds," a bit like gear ratios on a car. in the normal (lower) speed range, every preset can ru n, but only sampling rates between 32khz and 50khz may be used. in the high speed range, some presets cannot ru n (those which do not have the light- ning symbol beside their name on the program screen such as smartreversedelays ), but the whole sam- pling rate range may be used. it is recommended that you keep the DSP7000 in the normal speed range unless you need to use the higher sampling rates. to change the speed mode, go to the clock menu page in the setup area. using the internal clock when you use the ?internal? clock, the system sampling rate will correspond with the internal clock?s sampling rate. the system sampling rate is the sampling rate used for all internal processing. if you?re using the digital inputs while the system sampling rate is set to int ernal, you must ensure that the clock of the mach ine being input to the DSP7000 is synced to the DSP7000?s digital output or that you have sample rate conversion (src) turned on (located on the "bot- tom" clock page). if the machine being input to the DSP7000 is not synced to the DSP7000?s output and src is turned off , dig stat is likely to read slipping or unlocked . that means the two machines are not in sync and that ugly clicks and pops will be adde d to the audio. in such a situation you?d be better off setting source to external or the src on . see the status of the digital i/os when using the internal clock on page 35. selecting the internal clock?s rate to select the internal clock, set the source parameter on the clock menu page in the setup area to int xx.x khz . select the internal clock?s rate. your choices are: int 44.1 khz the rate of standard compact disks. the ?44.1 khz sample rate indicator? is illumi- nated. the highest reproducible audio frequency is ~20khz. int 48 khz the ?professional? rate . the ?48 khz sample rate indicator? is illuminated. the highest reproducible audio frequency is ~22khz. with high speed set to enabled , you can also choose: int 88.2 khz twice the rate of standard compact disks. this raises the highest possible reproduci- ble audio frequency to ~40 khz. the cost of these ?20k +? overtones is a reduction in the size of the programs the DSP7000 can run. some programs will be ?unload- able? when 88.2 khz is selected. int 96 khz the new ?professional rate? (maybe). this raises the highest possible reproducible au- dio frequency to ~44 khz. the cost of these ?20k +? overtones is a reduction in the size of the programs the DSP7000 can run. some programs will be ?unloadable? when 96 khz is selected. the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 35 ? 2000 eventide inc. the actual value of the system sampling rate can be read on the right-hand side of the screen in the field that reads: " sample rate: xxxxx ." of course, if you select one of the fixed rates ( 44.1 khz , 48 khz , 88.2 khz , or 96 khz ), the actual rate should be the same as the rate you se lect. this display is actually more useful when using an external clock source. see miscellaneous setup options on page 66 for other sync options. the status of the digital i/os when using the internal clock when the internal clock is selected, the sampling rate of the signal at the digital input must be equal to the internal clock?s rate to avoid clicks and pops. this will be the case if the device that's connected to the DSP7000's digital inputs is locked to the DSP7000's clock via the DSP7000's outputs or if you turn the sample rate converter (src) on . you can do this on the "bottom" clock menu page in the setup area. the dig stat parameter on the "top" clock menu page in the setup area displays the status of the digital input. the status of the digital inputs will be: slipping signal is present, but its sampling rate does not correspond with the internal clock?s rate. a digital input that is slipping will probably suffer from clicks or distortion. the greater the difference between the internal clock?s rate and the digital input?s rate, the greater the distorti on. some slipping may be acceptable for monitoring or other noncritical applications. ok signal is present, and its sampling rate is locked to the internal clock rate. every- thing?s groovy. unlocked no signal is present, the signal?s sampling rate is very unstable, or something is dread- fully wrong with the signal. understanding the ?system sampling rate and external sync indicator? when using the internal clock the ?system sampling rate and external sync indicator? is the box of five leds immediately to the left of the display. the top four leds indicate the status of the system sampling rate: ? solidly lit : when one of the top four leds is solidly lit, the system sampling rate is exact (+/- 0.05%) (the led corresponding to the system sampling rate will illuminate). ? blinking : when one of the top four leds is blinking, the system sampling rate is between one of the fixed rates ( the led corresponding to the nearest sampling rate will blink ). of course, if you select one of the fixed rates ( 44.1 khz , 48 khz , 88.2 khz , or 96 khz ), the led corresponding to your selection should light solidly. the bottom led, ext , should not light while using the internal clock. the DSP7000 family operating manual page 36 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ? 2000 eventide inc. using an external clock when you use the ?external? clock, the system sampling rate will be that of the external digital signal. the system sampling rate is the sampling rate used for all internal processing (including the adc and dac) . the external clock?s sampling rate is derived from the digital input. note: if the digital input is ?unlocked? (not con- nected to a valid digital source), the external clock will be invalid . if the external clock is invalid, the system sampling rate will revert to the last valid internal clock rate. selecting the external clock the external clock is usually derived from the digital input, either the s/p dif input or the aes/ebu input depending on the parameter dig in . to set the system sampling rate to the external clock?s rate, set the source parameter on the clock menu page in the setup area to s/p dif 1/2 or aes/ebu 1/2 depending on your choice for dig in . the system sampling rate will now be the sampling rate of the digital input assuming the digital input is valid. although they are rarely used, an external word cloc k input, a ttl level clock, or a user supplied crystal may also be used as the external clock source. you can enable the word clock parameter on the clock menu page or the extra sync parameter on the misc menu page in the setup area. with these options enabled, you can select them under the source parameter on the clock menu page. see connecting user-supplied crystals and external clocks on page 72 for more information. the rate of the external clock is displayed in the sample rate: xxxxx field. in the example shown above, the actual frequency of the external signal is 48000 hz. external sampling rates can range from ~30khz to ~50khz in normal speed mode, and from ~30khz to 53khz and 61khz to ~99khz in high speed mode. see sampling rates on page 33 for information on speed modes. the status of the digital i/os when using the external clock when the external clock is selected, the sampling rate of the signal at the digital input becomes the system sampling rate. the dig stat parameter on the clock menu page in the setup area displays the status of the digital input. the status of the digital inputs ( dig stat on the clock menu page in the setup area) will be: slipping signal is present, but very unstable. a digital input that is slipping will probably suffer from clicks or distortion. some sli pping may be acceptable for monitoring or other noncritical applications. ok signal is present and stable. everything?s groovy. if a signal?s sampling rate is not completely stable, its status will read ok with brief interjections of slipping . this is normal and may we ll not produce measurable dis- tortion. unlocked no signal is present, the signal?s sampling rate is very unstable, or something is dread- fully wrong with the signal. the sampling rate at the digital outputs will be the same as the sampling rate of the di gital inputs (which is the system sampling rate in external ). a/d and d/a conversion will be done at the sampling rate of the digi- the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 37 ?

2000 eventide inc. external controllers external controllers are inputs to the DSP7000 that allow the modulation of parameters from a source out- side the DSP7000. these include the foot pedal jack s 1 and 2, the relay jack, and midi. in addition to modulating parameters such as delay times, pitch shif t, lfo rate, etc., in programs, the external controllers can be used to modulate ?box? level parameters such as input levels, wet/dry mix, and even screen con- trast (why you would want to modulate screen contrast no one knows, but it's nice to know you can!). see: ? setting up the external controllers on page 39. ? external modulation and trigger menu pages on page 42. ? remote control ling parameters on page 53. in addition, external controllers can be used to advance through programs. see loading a program remotely on page 58. here we will discuss the ?global? setup of these external controllers. setting up the external controllers foot pedals 1 and 2 each foot pedal jack accepts a stereo (?tip-ring-sleeve?) 1/4? connector (see diagram below). between the ring and sleeve is a fixed 5 volts provided by the DSP7000. the foot pedal that is hooked up to the jack and returned between the tip and the sleeve alters that voltage. the pedals menu page in the setup area allows you to calibrate the foot pedal jacks for the particular foot pedals you are using. the ?top? menu page calibrates jack 1, and the ?bottom? menu page calibrates jack 2 (just press the pedals soft key to toggle between the two). the horizontal bar graph at the top of the menu page represents the current foot pedal position relative to the calibration. to calibrate your pedal, highlight the calibrate parameter with the cursor and press the select key. rock your foot pedal through its full range of motion, from full minimum (?heel?) to full maximum (?toe?), and then press any key. the heel and toe parameters will jump to reflect their new, calibrated values. you?re done. now when you use that foot pedal to modulate parameters, the minimum foot pedal position will correspond to no modulation and the maximum foot pedal position will correspond to maximum modulation. if you want the opposite to occur ( maximum foot pedal position corresponding with no modulation and minimum foot pedal position corresponding with maximum modulation ), simply calibrate the pedal as discussed above and then swap the heel and toe values. the DSP7000 family operating manual page 40 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ?

with programs that explicitly call for some sort of ?external? controller. for example, the program ? ex- ternal detune ? calls for an external signal to adjust the amount of detune that is applied to an audio signal. you can direct a midi controller to do the adjusting. ?

to record parameter changes on a midi sequencer for subsequent playback. see sequencing with midi on page 71. there are several midi ?global? parameters that bear on how all of the above uses of midi function. these parameters are found on the midi menu page in the setup area (you may have to press the s s s e e e t t t u u u p p p key a few times to find it). the midi menu page is ?stacked?; the ?top? menu page is shown to the right. let?s look at each parameter in turn, shall we? midi if set to disabled , all received midi commands are ignored. however, midi output messages, including parameter changes, program load, bank change, and the various dump commands, are still enabled. set this parameter to enabled if you want to re- ceive midi messages. serial enables or disables the serial port. if set to enabled , midi commands can be re- ceived at or sent from the serial port. see setting up the serial port on page 68. program load this determines whether the DSP7000 w ill accept and obey midi program change messages. sequence out if set to on , then every time a parameter is changed or a program is loaded, a corre- sponding message is sent out the midi port as a system exclusive message. by re- cording parameter changes to a midi sequencer, you can automate your mixdowns. simply play back the recorded midi sequence at the DSP7000?s midi input, and you will see the changes you recorded ?played? by the sequencer ( assuming midi is en- abled and system exclusive is on ). however, if you manage to configure the midi con- nections between your various pieces of e quipment such that the ?system exclusive, sequence out? midi messages of the dsp7 000 loop back into the DSP7000 without delay, digital demons will unleash a raging fury inside your helpless DSP7000. so, the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 41 ?

menu page. midi this is just the same as the midi parameter found on the ?top? menu page. it?s duplicated here for your comfort and convenience. base channel selects one of 16 midi channels to be the base channel from which midi channel numbers will be calculated elsewhere in the DSP7000. omni mode if this is on , then a midi message on any channel is accepted and dutifully obeyed by every midi message recipient in the DSP7000. this keeps things simple in simple setups. if this is off , then every midi recipient in the DSP7000 specifies which midi channel (offset from the base channel ) it will accept messages on. note mode the DSP7000 allows selection of mono and poly mode. poly means one channel has all the notes (keyboards). mono means each channel plays only one note, but you have multiple channels (midi guitars, wind controllers). pressure if this parameter is set to channel , then the last changed midi aftertouch message on a given channel affects all the notes played on that channel. if it?s set to key , then a midi aftertouch message on a given channel affects only the note with which it is associated. pitch bend when using a midi keyboard to play a synthesizer program in the DSP7000, this parameter controls how many semitones a maximum midi pitchbend message shifts the original pitch. sysex speed the lower the value of this parameter, the slower the DSP7000 will transmit midi messages. this can be useful if the device being sent to is ?unhappy? with faster rates. that?s it for midi globals. if you press the midi soft key one more time, you?ll see parameters pertaining to the serial port?s setup. if you press it again, you?ll see midi group setup. the DSP7000 family operating manual page 42 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ?

messages sent out the midi ou t port are also sent out the serial port. note: if the serial port is ?enabled? and midi is ?enabled,? a command received over either the serial po rt or the midi in port causes the port not receiving the command to be igno red until the command is complete. external modulation and trigger menu pages many aspects of the DSP7000?s operation can be controlle d by ?external? signals. these ?external? signals include midi signals and signals at th e rear panel foot pedal jacks 1 & 2 ( see external controllers on page 39 to set these controllers up ). the various external modulation and trigger menu pages you will encounter are all variations on a common theme. although the length of this section might lead you to think otherwise, all you?re really doing on these menu pages is selecting the external controller that will modulate or trigger a parameter. if the external controller you select involves midi, then yo u will also have to deal with midi channels and (possibly) midi control numbers. this adds length to our discussion, but it shouldn?t add complexity. in most cases we?re doing one more thing: we?re scaling the external controller to suit the range of modula- tion we would like. again, the concept is simple, but we?ll have to get a little wordy in the process of de- scribing it. apologies. . . for the sake of providing an ex ample, we?re going to externally modulate the digital 1 parameter found on the inputs menu page in the levels area. remember, press the down cursor key to ?ungang? parameters. with the cursor highlighting digital 1 on the inputs menu page in the levels area, press and hold the s s s e e e l l l e e e c c c t t t key until the external modulation menu page shown to the right appears. the ?

is high when a switch connecte d between ring and sleeve is closed. to give an added control input, a third switch may be connected so as to connect both tip and ring to sleeve. this will require a 2 pole switch. (refer to drawing). the drawing represents the connec- tions that need to be made with the wires that are connected to the tip, ring, and sleeve. alternatively, the same results may be obtained by pressing the 2 switches simultaneously to simulate the third switch. in ?3 switch?

around. for example, if base channel were set to 10 , and channel were set to base + 12 , the actual midi channel used would be 10 + 12 = 22 22 - 16 = 6 six ! it?s worth noting that midi commands are of ten sent on a midi connectio n only if the command being sent differs from the last c ommand sent. between the occasional command messages are data m essages. a data message pertains to the last sent command message. these are known as "running status." you could send a midi command m essage to the DSP7000 with the midi parameter on the [midi] menu page in the setup area set to dis- abled . if you then change the midi parameter to enabled, you must re-send the midi command message before the midi data messages will be accepted. try sending a different midi command to get thin gs started, or try cycling power on your midi source. the DSP7000 family operating manual page 46 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ?

the first midi message sent to the DSP7000 and uses it as the external con- troller. this works on both external modu lation and external trigger menu pages. on the upper right-hand side of the screen, you will find a function called capture midi . highlighting this parameter and pressing the s s s e e e l l l e e e c c c t t t key puts the DSP7000 in ?capture? mode. the mode parameter reads ? capture. ? the next type of midi message received by the DSP7000 will be used for the mode parameter, and the midi channel that it is received on will be used for the channel parameter. of course, if you are in omni mode, the channel parameter will remain omni regardless of what channel the message is received on. to exit ?capture? mode without ?capturing,? just press the select key again. for example, if on the screen above (set to ?capture? mode) we send a pitch bend message on channel 3, the screen to the right results. the mode is set to pitch wheel , and the channel is set to base + 2 . (our base channel in this example is 1 , so 1 + 2 = 3. the base channel is selected on the ?second? midi menu page in the setup area.) at this point, we have discussed all of the parameters that are relevant to selecting an external controller for modulation and triggering. if the external controller you would like to use doesn?t involve midi, simply select it with the mode parameter. if the external controller you would like to use does involve midi, you have a choice. you can explicitly enter it with the mode parameter, selecting the proper channel and, if you?ve chosen midi double or midi single , selecting the con number. alternatively, you can use the capture midi feature, sending the midi signal you would like to modulate or trigger with from your midi source and letting the DSP7000 figure out the mode , channel , and con . note: to aid in troubleshooting, you can use the busy led as a ?midi chaser.? with the memory card removed , any midi signals sent to the DSP7000 at the midi in port cause the busy led to flash. if you?re tryi ng to send midi messag es to the DSP7000, bu t the busy led isn?t flashing when you do (and the memory card is removed), you know something is wrong with the connections outside the DSP7000! scaling the external controller the remaining parameters on the external modulation menu page pertain to scaling the selected external con- troller to suit the range of modulation desired. the horizontal bar graph on the bottom of the left-hand side of the screen displays the current value of the controller you selected in mode on a scale of approximately 1 to 100. use this bar graph to visually confirm that the external controller you have selected is actually ?finding its way? to this menu page. if yo u manipulate your external controller and this bar graph doesn?t change, something is wrong! to see how this works, if you select ? mode: pitch wheel, ? jiggle the pitch wheel on your keyboard and then leave it alone, you will see the screen shown above. the bar graph reads 50.00 , halfway between full minimum and full maxi- mum. if you pull the pitch wheel all the way down, you?ll get the screen to the right. the bar graph reads 0.00 , full minimum. the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 47 ? 2000 eventide inc. if you crank the pitch wheel all the way up, you?ll get the screen to the right. the bar graph reads 100.00 , full maximum. the next parameter we come to is scale . after all this discussion we may have forgotten that what we?re actually doing is modulating a parameter , but that is what we?re doing. and parameters come in all shapes and sizes (like people). for example, we must be able to modulate a delay time from 5 milliseconds to 25 milli- seconds with a full rock of the foot pedal just as we m ust be able to modulate a pitch shift from 0 cents to - 4800 cents with a full rock of the foot pedal. the scale parameter allows us to do just that ( we had you change scale when modulating digital 1 so that the external controller could actually modulate it !). with scale set to 100% , the external controller?s range corresponds to the full range of the parameter?s val- ues (different types of pa rameters will have di fferent ?full ranges?) . with various settings of scale , the parameter being modu- lated, and the external controller doing the modulation, it is possible to ?pin? the parameter being modu- lated at its minimum or maximum values. adjust scale or the value of the parameter being modulated to remedy this situation (see the examples below) . note: it is also possible to set scale to a negative value. doing so allows the value of the parameter being modulated to decrease while the external controller is increasing . the final parameter on the external modulation menu page is just a duplicate of the parameter we?re modu- lating. its value reflects the applied external modulation, so you can see the result of all your futzing as you futz (the external modulation?s value will be added to the parameter?s value) . additionally, you can adjust the value of the pa- rameter while you futz (we?ll see why you?d want to in the examples that follow). if you modulate a gang of four or more parameters, they will not be shown on the external modulation menu page be cause there isn?t enough room to fit them all! there are two ways that you can obtain your desired range of modulation. the first involves educated guesses and the second involves math. first, we?ll gi ve an example using the ?educated guess? method. we?re going to ditch the digital 1 parameter we?ve been modulating thus far. to avoid future he adaches, change the mode to off and then press the [*done*] soft key . load a simple delay program from the ? delays ? bank if you would like to follow along. we?re going to modulate the delay time in this simple program. highlight a ? delay ? parameter in the parameter area. press and hold the select key until the menu page shown to the right appears (again, we?re ?remote cont rolling? this parameter). let?s say we want to modulate it with the external controller ?mod wheel on midi channel 3.? we could either directly adjust the mode and channel parameters, or we could use the capture midi feature to select it. let?s also say that we want the delay to vary from 100.0 ms to 300.0 ms . with the mod wheel at 0 as shown above, we change delay to 100 ms . the DSP7000 family operating manual page 48 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ? 2000 eventide inc. with scale set to 100.0%, we find we overshoot our desired value of 300.0 ms when we advance the mod wheel. (100% scale will take it to its maximum value, in this case 32000.) next, we try 10.0% for scale and find we still overshoot big- time when we advance the mod wheel. after a few more trials, we zero in on 0.63% for scale and hit our target. to escape from this page, press the *done* soft key . if you?d like to set the ? scale ? value in a mathematically precise way, here?s the equation to know: ( max-parameter-value - min-parameter-value ) / full-range = scale where max-parameter-value is the maximum parameter value you would like, min-parameter-value is the minimum parameter value you would like, full-range is the ?distance? between the possible minimum and maximum parameter values, and scale is the value of the parameter scale (divided by 100). an example is in order, no? let's repeat the above example in a more precise manner. let?s also say that we want the delay to vary from 100.0 ms to 300.0 ms . 100.0 ms is the min-parameter-value and 300.0 ms is the max-parameter-value . with the mod wheel at 0 as show n above, we change delay to 0 ms (its lowest value) and leave scale at 100.0% in order to find out the full-range of this parameter. with scale set to 100.0%, we advance the mod wheel. we can see that the full-range of this parameter is 31751 ms . now, with the mod wheel at 0 on the bar graph, we can change delay to 100.0 ms . recall our equation: ( max-parameter-value - min-parameter-value ) / full-range = scale plug in our values: ( 300.0 - 100.0 ) / 31751 = 0.006299 in other words, we need to set scale to 0.6299% . notice that the display then reads 0.63% although you don?t always see all of the digits you type in the DSP7000, it still stores six significant digits! the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 49 ? 2000 eventide inc. that completes our review of the external modulation me nu page. after having investigated all of the pa- rameters on this menu page, we should mention that you will find ?stripped down? versions of it scattered throughout the DSP7000. for example, the program ? external correct ? in the ? fix tools ? bank explicitly calls for an external controller. because the minimum and maximum values have been determined by the program?s designer, that option is absent from the menu page. all that remains is to choose an external controller, and that is done in the same manner as discussed above. the DSP7000 family operating manual page 50 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ? 2000 eventide inc. the concept behind ?redirection? - ex ternal assigns 1-8 and trigs 1 &2 ?redirection? allows a program developer to use an exter nal controller in his or her program, while allowing you to assign which actual external controller is used. an external controller ?placeholder? is used in the program, and you fill in a specific external controller fo r that ?placeholder." redirection also allows you to select a ?placeholder? on an external modulation or trigge r menu page. if you select the same ?placeholder? on several external modulation or trigger menu pages, you can change the actual external controller that fills that ?placeholder? by making one change. if redirection didn?t exist, yo u would need to go to each and every one of those external modulation or trigger menu pages and change the actual external controller manually . wow ! that?s pretty abstrac t. if it doesn?t make sense yet, read through this section and then re-read this paragraph. there are eight external assignment ?placeholders?: assign 1, assign 2, ..., assign 8 . there are two external trigger ?placeholders?: trig 1 and trig 2 . these ?placeholders? are selected as the mode on external modulation or trigger menu pages littered throughout the DSP7000. for example, assign 3 can be assigned here. . . and here. . . and here. . . and anywhere. . . you see that a single ?placeholde r? can modulate or trigger many different parameters. a single ?placeholder? is ?filled? by an actual external controller at one place: the external menu page in the setup area. a single ?placeholder? is ?filled? by only one actual external controller. in the example screen shown to the right, the actual external controller mod wheel has been selected to ?fill? the ?placeholder? assign 3 . now all of the ?and here. . .? example screens shown above would actually be modulated by the mod wheel ! moreover, the value in parenthases above, (low) , would change to (mod wheel) . the external menu page is ?stacked." press the external soft key repeatedly to cycle through menu pages for assign 1 , assign 2 , assign 3 , ..., assign 8 , trig 1 , and trig 2 . these menu pages behave just like those that were discussed in external modulation and trigger menu pages on page 42, except that there is no scale parameter. this makes sense because a single ?placeholder? can be selected to externally control a multitude of parameters. ?scal- the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 51 ? 2000 eventide inc. ing? is done on the external modulation or trigger menu pages littered throughout the DSP7000 that have as their mode the ?placeholder.? so, ?redirection? allows you to configure your extern al modulation and trigger menu pages to suit the par- ticulars of your studio/rack setup. let?s say you fre quently use a foot pedal, the pitch wheel, the mod wheel, and midi controller 10 (pan) to do external modulations and midi note on and midi start to do external triggers. instead of explicitly assigning all of th ese external controllers on external modulation and trigger menu pages in the programs that you save, you could instead assign assign 1, assign 2, assign 3, ..., assign 8, trig 1, and trig 2 . then go to the external menu page in the setup area and assign the foot pedal to assign 1 , the pitch wheel to assign 2 , the mod wheel to assign 3 , midi controller 10 to assign 4 , midi note on to trig 1 , and midi start to trig 2 . here are the benefits : if you take the DSP7000 on the road and need to use different external controllers, you don?t have to re-edit all of the programs you use. in stead, just reassign the ?placeholders.? if you take the DSP7000 to a foreign studio with a different set of ?convenient? external controllers, you don?t have to re-edit all of the programs you use. instead, just re assign the ?placeholders.? if you get a new sequencer that has different ?convenient? contro llers than the ones you?ve been using, you don?t have to re-edit all of the programs you use. instead. . . all right. you get the idea. let?s run through an example to make sure we?re clear about what?s going on here. while we're going to use placeholders to modulate system-level parameters, yo u would normally use them to modulate parameters in programs such as feedback, chorus level, pitchshift, etc. let?s highlight digital 1 on the inputs menu page in the levels area. remember to press the down cursor key to ?ungang? parameters. press and hold the s s s e e e l l l e e e c c c t t t key for one second. the menu page to the right appears. to change the ?one second hold time," see miscellaneous setup options on page 66. set the mode to assign 3 and range to -100.0% . then press the *done* soft key. next, let?s highlight out 1 wet/dry on the main menu page in the levels area. remember to press the down cursor key to ?ungang? parameters. press and hold the s s s e e e l l l e e e c c c t t t key for one second. the menu page to the right appears. to change the ?one second hold time,? see miscellaneous setup options on page 66. set the mode to assign 3 and range to -100.0% . then press the DSP7000 family operating manual page 52 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ? 2000 eventide inc. the *done* soft key. at this point, we?ve assigned the ?placeholder? assign 3 to modulate both digital 1 and out 1 wet/dry . now, let?s ?fill in? this ?placeholder? with an actual external controller. go to the external menu page in the setup area. press the external soft key repeatedly until you see ? assign 3 setup ? in the upper right-hand corner. you can set mode to anything you like; we?re going to set it to mod wheel on channel base + 4 ( the omni parameter on the [midi] menu page in the setup area needs to be set to off in order to assign a specific channel ). now, when you move the mod wheel on midi channel ?base + 4," both digital 1 and out 1 wet/dry are modulated! (select the midi base channel on the [midi] menu page in the setup area.) the very first time you switch the DSP7000 on, you will find that assigns 1-8 are set to high - this is so that any programs which use one of these as a volume cont rol input are not silenced. it is recommended, for the same reason, that, if you change these settings and then want to remove the change, you set them back to high , rather than to off . the DSP7000 family operating manual manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 53 ? 2000 eventide inc. remote controlling parameters parameters can be remote controlled via midi or the rear panel foot pedal jacks. to remote control a parameter, first highlight it with the cursor. in our example, we?re going to remote control the parameter delay in the program ? mono delay ? (found in the ? delays ? bank). with the cursor in place, press and hold the s s s e e e l l l e e e c c c t t t key until the screen changes to the ?rem ote control? menu page. after pressing and holding the select key on the parameter delay above, we arrive at the external modulation menu page shown to the right. this is the same menu page we discussed ad nauseam in external modulation and trigger menu pages on page 42. we won?t rehash it here. to change the ?hold time,? see miscellaneous setup options on page 66. we can exit this screen by pressing the *done* soft key . you may notice that the DSP7000 flashes, ? control will be lost if preset is not saved ? if the parameter you are remote controlling belongs to a program (as opposed to a ?global? parameter such as an input level). this means that you must the DSP7000 family operating manual - index page 54 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ? 2000 eventide inc. each parameter would be controlled over it s full range - for example, in this preset lo freq has a mini- mum value of 10 (hz) and a maximum value of 1000 (hz). this means that the minimum midi value (0) would give you 10 (hz) and the maximum midi value (127) would give you 1000 (hz). in this example, using a midi single controller, the resolution will be limited to the 128 steps offered by midi, meaning that the minimum change possi ble is (1000-10)/128 or about 8hz. midi double controllers (numbered 0 to 31) will give better resolution. if you then changed to a different screen, say main under levels , the following would apply: 70 out 1 wet/dry 74 analog 1 71 out 2 wet/dry 75 analog 2 72 out 1 level 76 digital 1 73 out 2 level 77 digital 2 the midi group will continue to control whichever sc reen is displayed. this looks useful - how do we set up such a midi group ? move on to the next page ?. configuring the midi group the last page in the midi menu page 'stack' in the setup area controls the midi group. this operates just like any of the DSP7000's other controller screens, with some added features: ? the parameters on this screen cannot be controlled by way of the midi group. there's a reason for this ? ? the controller number con is the first controller number in the group. this is most usefully set up by midi capture. see page 46 for more on midi capture. ? the group size is the number of controllers in the group. for example, in the screen at the right, the group is from 70 to 77. this is a useful location for the group, as these controllers are unassigned by the midi specification and not generally used. ? the active con displays the number from 1 to group size of any member in the group that changes. this is useful as a way of checking that the group is set up correctly and is acting on received midi sig- nals. ? if operation is normal , the external controller will directly control the parameters on the current screen. this sounds right, but can cause problems wh en moving from screen to screen. for example, suppose you are using a fader-based controller like the peavey 1600 and you push the fader all the way up to control, say, a vibrato depth. then you switch to another screen where the same fader controls the master output level. the minute you touch the fader, the level will go way up and the floor will be cov- ered with bits of loudspeaker. this can be prevented by setting operation to sticky . ? if operation is sticky , each member in the group can only be changed by moving the controller through its current position - the value will then stick , and respond to further movements of the controller. looking at the top right of the screen, you will see a small thermometer. the arrow shows the direction to move the controller to pass through the current value, while the vertical bar is the posi- tion of the current value. once the current value has been reached, the thermometer will disappear and you will have full control. the DSP7000 family operating manual - index manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 55 ? 2000 eventide inc. ? if operation is 2-way , the DSP7000 will operate in normal mode, but will also send midi signals out on the same controller channels whic h can be used to update the external controller. this would mainly be used with a device featuring led encoders or moto r-driven faders to display the effect of changes made at the 7000, for example, when screens are changed. the DSP7000 family operating manual - index page 56 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ? 2000 eventide inc. program load, save, delete, etc. ?...the DSP7000 is like a jungle gym for sine waves...? -anonymous programs are the ?algorithms? used by the dsp to pr ocess signals. programs are stored in the DSP7000 much like files are stored on your computer?s hard drive. instead of using a hard drive, however, the DSP7000 uses ram memory, either internally or on a card. (a battery preserves the memory when the dsp 7000 is powered down.) the load times are much faster and the unit is more durable and quiet than it would be if a hard drive were used. when you want to use one of th e DSP7000?s programs, you ?load? it. you can save a program that is running in two ways: the first is to simply the DSP7000 family operating manual - index manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 57 ? 2000 eventide inc. creating a new bank or renaming an old bank as far as the DSP7000 is concerne d, there are alwa ys 100 internal banks and 100 memory card banks. however, you can?t save to banks that have never been name d. this means th at ?creating? a bank amounts to naming one that has never been named before. to name a bank, press the the DSP7000 family operating manual - index page 58 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ? 2000 eventide inc. the last few programs to be loaded are also saved as links in the "favorites bank," bank 0. this means that you can quickly revisit the programs that you are currently using, without having to look through all the banks to find them again. these links are created automatically by the DSP7000, with the most recent programs at the top, and cannot be modified. you can, of course, permanently save your own links or programs in this bank. see: ?linking? programs on page 61 for more information on links . miscellaneous setup options on page 66 to change the number of "favorites" displayed. loading a program remotely there are two ways to load programs remotely. the first is via a midi program change message, and the second is by triggering the DSP7000 to load the next or previous program in the current bank. let?s discuss them in turn, shall we? loading a program via a midi program change message the DSP7000 will change programs within the current bank upon receiving a midi program change mes- sage. a midi program change message can be sent by a midi keyboard, a midi sequencer, or a midi foot pedal. using a midi foot pedal on stage makes loading programs a breeze. the current bank referred to above is the one displayed in the program area. in order for this feature to work, the parameter midi on the midi menu page in the setup area must be set to enabled , and the parameter program load on the same menu page must be set to on . the program that is loaded will be the one whose nu mber is sent in the program change message. if the number is not that of a program in the current bank, no program will be loaded. note: to aid in troubleshooting, you can use the busy led as a ?midi chaser.? with the memory card removed , any midi signals sent to the DSP7000 at the midi in port cause the busy led to flash. if you?re tryi ng to send midi program change messages to the DSP7000, but the busy led isn?t flashing when you do (and the memory card is removed!), you know something is wrong with the connections outside the DSP7000! changing banks via a midi controller message to be able to load any given program using a midi program change message as described above, you may need to change the current bank . this can be done using midi controller #0, which is normally unused. some midi devices may not be able to use midi cont roller #0, in which case there is a sysex (system exclusive) message that can be used. for inform ation on sysex messages, visit www.eventide.com. in order for this feature to work, the parameter midi on the midi menu page in the setup area must be set to enabled . if the current bank is on a memory card, the new bank will be selected on the memory card, otherwise the new bank will be selected from one of the internal banks. if the bank number contained in the midi controller #0 message does not exist, no action will be taken. the DSP7000 family operating manual - index manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 59 ? 2000 eventide inc. triggering the next or previous program to load the DSP7000 can also advance to the next program (from the one that is currently loaded) or return to the previous program (from the one that is currently loaded) upon receipt of a ?trigger? signal. on the nextprog menu page in the setup area, you?ll find an external trigger menu page. the ?top? menu page selects a trigger to load the next program, and th e ?bottom? menu page selects a trigger to load the previous program (press the nextprog soft key to toggle between the two). see external modulation and trigger menu pages on page 42. the ?next? or ?previous? program is constrained to the same bank as the currently loaded program. if the currently loaded program is the ?highest? program in the bank, a ?next? program trigger will load the lowest program in the bank. similarly, if the currently loaded program is the ?lowest? program in the bank, a ?pre- vious? program trigger will load the highest program in the bank. saving a program if you?ve tweaked a program or created your own program, you?ll probably want to store it for future use. if you?ve tweaked a program and don?t want to overwr ite the original version, you should use the the DSP7000 family operating manual - index page 60 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ?

in such a situation, you?d like to save all of the programs you?ll use in the show in one ba nk in the order they?ll be used. but, if all of the pro- grams you?ll use in the show are alread y saved elsewhere in the DSP7000, won?t re-saving them to the ?live bank? waste a lot of precious storage space? yes, watson, it would, but we can circumvent that problem by linking programs to the ?live bank.? you can read about remotely loading programs in loading a program remotely on page 58. a link requires a paltry 38 bytes of storage space (recall that the smallest of programs require around 1000 bytes !). in reality, the link tells the DSP7000 where the program of interest is actually saved, but as far as you?re concerned, the link is the program of interest. to link a program, first go to the program area. select the bank where you would like a link to show up. in our example, we?ll place a link in the bank called ? the timeout drawer .? press the soft key to reveal the "pop-up" menu shown on the right. find the program you want to link to with the second and third lines, ? bank ? and ? program .? select the ?slot? you would like the link to appear in with ? program number .? in our example, we?re linking to the program ? band phaser ? that is located in the ? phasers ? bank. the link itself will be found in ?slot? number 5 in the bank called ? the timeout drawer .? place the cursor over ? link ? and press select to confirm, or place the cursor over ? cancel ? and press select to abort. unlike ordinary program names, an ? l ? follows a link name to let you know that it is, in fact, a link. you can delete a link just as you would delete an ordinary program, and doing so will have no effect on the ?linked ? program. if you load a program through a link and later chose to the DSP7000 family operating manual - index page 62 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ?

you?re only kidding yourself... to keep you honest, the DSP7000 comes with a ?compare ? feature. it allows you to compare your tweaks with the original, saved program. you can then determ ine if your tweaks are helping or, god forbid, hurting the situation. press the program key a few times until you see the the DSP7000 family operating manual - index manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 63 ? 2000 eventide inc. parameters ?i can?t tell you what a parameter is, but i?ll know it when i see it.? -us supreme court the parameter area is special in that the menus change to reflect the options available in the currently running program. the number of menu pages and th eir content vary from program to program. consequently, very little can be said about parameters generally. but that?s not much of a liability; parameters are easy to understand as you encounter them. many, but not all, of the programs in the DSP7000 support an ?expert mode? feature. the expert mode parameter controlling this feature is found on the misc menu page in the setup area (you may have to press the setup key a few times to find it). a setting of 0 hides all but the most relevant menu pages in the parameter area. conversely, a setting of 9 reveals all of the available menu pages in the parameter area. settings between 0 and 9 reveal a proportionate amount of menu pages in the parameter area. leave expert mode at 9 if you like lots of parameters to tinker with, at 0 if you find lots of parameters an- noying, or somewhere in-between if your tastes fall somewhere in-between. while most parameter types are self-explanatory, there are a few special types that deserve specific mention: system tempo most programs that have "frequency" or "time" param eters (e.g. lfo's, reverb decays, and delays) will syn- chronize to the system tempo. this greatly simplifies th e task of customizing a program to a particular song. simply set the system tempo to tempo of the song you' re working on and bam! everything falls in place! the system tempo is defined on the tempo menu page in the setup area. in the simplest case, set source to internal and manually enter the appropriate tempo . alternatively, you can tap the the DSP7000 family operating manual - index page 64 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ? 2000 eventide inc. notice that changing t_length (or any t_ parameter) changes the corresponding length parameter to reflect the interaction between the musical duration ( 1/8 note in this case) and the system tempo (78 bpm in this case). you can also override the t_ parameter by adjusting the "naked" parameter ( length in this case). however, if the system tempo is changed, the "naked" parameter will re vert back to its calculated value! if you want to make the "naked" parameter impervious to changes in the system tempo, turn the t_ parameter to off . system timer much like the system tempo, the system timer provides a common reference point for measure-based parameters such as loop times (note that the system timer is used in far fewer programs than the system tempo). set the system timer using the timer soft key in the setup area. let's say you want to use loops in a song with meas ures that are 2 seconds l ong (measuretime = beatsper- measure * 60 / bpm). using the nifty formula or some prior knowledge, you can simply set the time pa- rameter to 2.00 sec . alternatively, with source set to soft key and mode set to restart , you can tap the the DSP7000 family operating manual - index manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 65 ?

isn?t really a parameter , but you?ll find it hiding among parameters, so we might as well discuss it here. you?ll typically find these creatures on an info menu page in the parameter area. as the name suggests, this is just a block of text that you can read for your own enlightenment. if all of the text fits on the screen, that?s the end of the story. if, however, all of the text doesn?t fit on the screen, you?ll see a dou- ble-headed arrow to the left of the text. turning the knob scrolls the text so you can read the rest. graphics and curves several programs use an interface reminiscent of an analog graphic equalizer. two parameters are used, an x value and a y value. the x value is the horizontal position of the currently selected graphical point, and the y value is the vertical position of the currently selected graphical point. in our example to the right, the x value is 12500 hz , and the y value is 0.0 db . with the cursor in the y field (as shown above), the left and right cursor keys change the x value, while the knob and numeric keypad change the y value. with the cursor in the x field, the left and right cursor keys, the knob , and the numeric keypad all change the x value. use the up and down cursor keys to move between the graphic inter- face and other parameters on the screen. for example, pressing the left cursor key several times on the screen above would change the x value and result in the screen to the right. spinning the knob on the screen above would change the y value and result in the screen to the right. the DSP7000 family operating manual - index page 66 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ?

2000 eventide inc. appendix a -utilities transmitting and receiving data setting up the serial port the serial port can be used to transmit data between the DSP7000 and a computer or between the DSP7000 and another DSP7000. it is an ibm pc type rs232 connector, which looks like a modem or printer to a connected computer. you can set up the serial port?s parameters on the ?third? midi menu page in the setup area. repeatedly press the midi soft key until you see the menu page shown to the right. the first parameter, serial , determines whether the serial port is enabled or disabled . if set to dis- abled , messages will neither be sent out the serial port nor accepted at th e serial port. the second parame- ter, baud rate, determines the speed at which messages will be sent out the serial port and the speed at which the DSP7000 expects to receive me ssages at the serial port. similarly, data bits , stop bits , and parity all describe aspects of the messages sent out the serial port and aspects of the messages that the DSP7000 expects to receive at the serial port. for things to work properly, these last four parameter s must be set to the same values on both the DSP7000 and the machine connected to the serial port . higher baud rate s result in faster transmission times, but most machines have a ceiling above which errors occur. so, set the baud rate to the highest value you can on both the DSP7000 and the machine c onnected to its serial port that results in error-free transmissions. the data bits are normally set at 8 , the stop bits are normally set at 2 , and the parity is normally set at none . you should only need to stray from these values if the device the DSP7000 is communicating with is constrained to some other values. if that is th e case, change the values on the DSP7000 to match the other device. to aid in troubleshooting, the busy led will illuminate when data is tr ansferred at the serial port, pro- vided no memory card is in place. if the serial port is ?enabled,? messages sent out th e midi out port are also sent out the serial port. note: if both the serial port is ?enabled? and midi is ?enabled ,? a command received over either the serial port or the midi in port causes the port not receiving the command to be igno red until the command is complete. the pin-out for the serial port is: 1 dcd 2 rxd 6 dsr 3 txd 7 rts 4 dtr 8 cts 5 gnd 9 nc for most applications, only pins 2,3, and 5 need be connected. the DSP7000 family operating manual - index manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 69 ? 2000 eventide inc. dumping data and receiving data dumps you can ?dump? data from the DSP7000 for external storage or for use in another DSP7000. to dump, go to the dump menu page in the setup area. the dumped data will be system exclusive and will be sent out th e midi out port and the serial port. none of the midi parameters on the midi menu page in the setup area has any bearing on dumps except for the device id . the device id is used as part of the system exclusive messages in the dump. while the dump is occurring, a running display of the number of bytes sent is presented for those keeping score at hom e. you can reload the dumped information into the DSP7000 by presenting it at the midi in port or the serial port (provided system exclusive is set to on and midi is set to enabled on the [midi] menu page in the setup area) . let?s look at the five ?types? of dumps . dump program this function dumps the currently running pr ogram. if received at the midi in port or at the serial port, the DSP7000 will load the received program. dump setup this function dumps the state of the dsp700 0, covering all of the parameters cov- ered in the setup area. dump files this function dumps all setups and programs stored in internal memory. note: the factory presets are not dumped by this function. if received at the midi in port or at the serial port, the DSP7000 will erase all of your saved setups and saved programs and replace them with the received setups and programs. note: the current setup and the currently running program will not be altered. dump card this function dumps all setups and programs stored on the memory card. if re- ceived at the midi in port or at the seri al port, the DSP7000 will erase your mem- ory card and replace its contents with the received setups and programs. if there is no memory card in place or if the memory card is too small, the incoming data is ignored. dump internal this function dumps the contents of the in ternal memory. this is the same as using dump files , dump setup , and dump program . it dumps all the setups and pro- grams stored in internal memory, along with the current setup and the current pro- gram. if received at the midi in port or at the serial port, the DSP7000 will replace all of its setups and programs, load the n ew program, stop all operations and start as if from power-up, using the new setup and programs. if the device to which you sent the dump has the ability to send it back again (such as a sequencer), you can use this as a way to "back up" your DSP7000. warning: if, for any reason, this dump gets corrupted in some wa y and you send it back to the DSP7000, you will lose all the information you are tr ying to back up, as well as the DSP7000's con- tents. if you do a ?backup? in this way, especially to a computer, it would be a good idea to do it twice, to two separate files, and then to compare the files. if they are identical, it?s a good indica- tion that the data sent from the DSP7000 has been recorded accurately. the DSP7000 family operating manual - index page 70 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ? 2000 eventide inc. controlling one DSP7000 from another DSP7000 the DSP7000 can send system exclusive messages d etailing all changes to its parameters, both effects- program specific and setup values. the DSP7000 is de signed so that a sequencer can receive and then play back these values to the same DSP7000, but we can also use this feature to slave one DSP7000 to an- other. to slave one DSP7000 to another: ? set the parameter sequence out found on the midi menu page in the setup area to off on the ?slave." ? on the same menu page, set the parameter sequence out to new on the ?master.? ? on the same menu page, set the parameter midi to enabled on both units. ? on the same menu page, set system exclusive to on for both units. ? on the same menu page, set device id to a common value for both units. ? connect either the midi out port of the ?master? to the midi in port of the ?slave? or connect their serial ports. (using the serial ports will require a special null modem cable, with pin 2 of each end con- nected to pin 3 at the other, and vice versa.) now, changes made on the ?master? are echoed on the ?slave." be sure to leave sequence out to off on the ?slave? or midi ?feedback? will lock up the DSP7000s in a very bad sort of way. sending a program from one DSP7000 to another to send a program from one DSP7000 to another, turn sequence out to off on the midi menu page in the setup area on both DSP7000s. on the same menu page, change the device id of each of the DSP7000s so that they agree. then connect their serial ports or c onnect the midi out port of the ?sender? to the midi in port of the ?receiver.? make sure the program you would like to send is running on the ?sender.? to read about using the serial ports, see setting up the serial port on page 68. on the ?sender,? highlight dump program on the dump menu page in the setup area and press the select key. the program will be loaded on the ?receiver.? before doing anything else, you should change the device id of one of the DSP7000s so that it is no longer the same as the device id of the other. failure to do so could cause problems later if sequence out gets set to on on both the DSP7000s! the DSP7000 family operating manual - index manual release 1.1 the DSP7000 family operating manual page 71 ? 2000 eventide inc. sequencing with midi most midi sequencers will receive system exclusive messages and store them for later playback on the originating instrument. the DSP7000 fully supports th is. instead of sending keyboard presses and knob turns, the DSP7000 sends ?parameter change messages.? when a sequencer sends a ?parameter change message? back to the DSP7000, the corresponding parameter is adjusted. this is true whether the display is showing the parameter or not. further, you can oper ate the front panel of the DSP7000 as you normally would while it?s receiving ?parameter change messages? from a sequencer. newer versions the DSP7000 use a "new" ascii-based sequencing protocol that is superior to the "old" protocol. when you turn sequencing on, you can select wh ich of these protocols to use. unless you're read- ing an old sequence or have to ensure compatibility wi th older machines, we suggest you use the "new" pro- tocol. to actually sequence, set sequence out (on the midi menu page in the setup area) to new . every time a parameter is changed, a corresponding message is sent out the midi out port and the serial port as a system exclusive message. by recording parameter changes to a midi sequencer, you can automate your mixdowns. simply play back the recorded midi sequence at the DSP7000?s midi in, and you will see the changes you recorded ?played? by the sequencer ( assuming midi is enabled , system exclusive is on , the program that was loaded when the sequence was recorded is loaded during playback, and the device id set during recording is set during playback ). however, if you manage to configure the midi connections between your various pieces of equi pment such that the ?system exclu- sive, sequence out? midi messages of the DSP7000 loop back into the DSP7000 without delay , digital de- mons will unleash a raging fury inside your helpless DSP7000. so, make sure that doesn?t happen! if you aren?t actively using the sequence out feature, it?s wise to leave it off . by leaving sequence out on and system exclusive off while recording a sequence, and sequence out off and system exclusive on while playing the se quence back, you can eliminate the possibility of those digital demons dancing their mean dance in the dsp 7000! however, doing th is would render the ?echo? feature dis- cussed below useless. all adjustments made to the DSP7000 while the parameter sequence out is set to on are sent out the midi out port and the serial port (not including patch editor commands). this includes any changes re- ceived at the midi in port. if the midi sequencer is sending data to the DSP7000 and receiving data from the DSP7000 at the same time , it will receive an ?echo? of the co mmands it sends to the DSP7000. this means that if you change something on the DSP7000 while sequencing (and echoing), then your changes will also be sent with the echo information to the seque ncer. this might be useful for editing or touching-up a sequence. the DSP7000 family operating manual - index page 72 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ?

2000 eventide inc. service and start-up options fixing internal memory problems the DSP7000 uses solid-state memory circuits to store programs and setup information. these circuits use a long-life battery to keep them alive while the dsp7 000 is turned off. whenever the computer in the DSP7000 updates that memory, it performs an ope ration called a ?checksum? and stores the result. a checksum is a calculation whose result characterizes what is stored in memory. a second run of the check- sum calculation should result in the same characterization, if the memory hasn?t changed . when the DSP7000 is turned on, it runs a checksum calculation on the memory and compares the result against the stored result. if there is a discrepancy, the DSP7000 reports an error. in the unlikely event that an ?internal memory checksum error? occurs, there may be a critical problem with what is stored in memory. the service function fix internal on the service menu page in the setup area will remove the checksum error by forcing the new checksum result to be saved. this will not get rid of the corruption in the data, however. after pressing the select key on the above menu page, you will arrive at the menu page shown to the right. if you want to go ahead with the procedure, press the the DSP7000 family operating manual - index page 74 the DSP7000 family operat ing manual manual release 1.1 ?

should not immediately send your heart into your mouth (although an internal check- sum error probably should). regardless of whether you are concerned about a memory card ?checksum error? or not, you should ?fix?
