Dynacord MP7 Kitchen Entertainment Center User Manual


 
FX1/FX2
The MP7 employs two completely independent 18-bit stereo effect units - FX1 and
FX2. The setting of the mono input channels’ individual FX-controls determines the
audio signal that is fed to these two units. Identically configured, each unit provides
99 stereo program presets, which can be selected through the use of the UP/DOWN
buttons. The 99 preset programs are sorted by algorithm and effect type into different
groups, as indicated on a printed label. The programs within each preset group are
sorted in ascending order where higher numbers provide the same FX type with
increased intensity. The presets 1 - 20 offer high quality reverberation effects that
are equally suited for being used during live performances, in the recording studio or
in your home recording environment. The program numbers 21 - 40 provide mixed
effect types of echo/reverb and chorus/reverb while the numbers 41 - 60 offer different
delay effects. The last group from 61 - 99 provides different flanger, chorus, and
doubling presets as well as special delay and reverb programs. During the initializa-
tion of the FX-units, when turning the MP7’s power on, the preset 05 (Large Hall 3
Bright) is selected for the FX1 while the FX2 unit is set to preset 55 (Delay Mono
250ms). These two effect programs are equally suitable for live performances and
recording applications, plus that they are especially useful complementing each other
when using both FX-units at the same time. For a more detailed description and for
selecting or testing effect presets, please, also refer to the supplementary information
form “EFFECT PRESETS”, which lists all preset names together with the correspon-
ding program profiles, their individual characteristics, and a description of how and
in which combination they are best used. Take your time to test all presets and select
the ones that are best suited for your specific needs. Program number “0" is a Slap
Back Echo effect, which is mainly meant for service and testing purposes. That is the
reason why it is not included in the effects listing on the front panel.

23. DISPLAY
The display always indicates the actually selected program number for the corre-
sponding FX-unit.
24. UP/DOWN
The UP/DOWN-keys let you step through the effect programs one by one in
increasing or declining order. Keeping either one button pressed for a longer period
of time allows scrolling the effect program numbers with increased tempo.
25. FX ON
Engaging this switch turns the power of the corresponding internal FX-unit on and
the green LED lights. For intelligibility reasons switching the FX-units off during
announcements is recommended.
Pushing down the TALK-button while making an announcement from the MIC1-input
channel automatically reduces the audio signal’s effects portion.
