Notes on
Combining Effects
Different effects require different amounts of MPX 1 processing. The following
notes should be kept in mind when creating new combinations of effects in a
program.
All reverb effects have dedicated processing and can be used in combination
with any other effect. (You can always add any reverb to any MPX 1 program.)
The Pitch, Chorus, EQ, Mod and Delay effects share processing resources. This
means that some combinations of these effects may not be possible –depending
on which effects are already loaded. If you attempt to load an effect that requires
more resources than are available, an error message will be displayed.
The Detune, Shift, Chorus, Flange, Rotary, Orbits, Centrifuge and Comb effects
require dedicated processing resources for delay interpolation. Only one of
these effects can be active at any given time any MPX 1 program.
Notes on the processing requirements of other specific effects is given in the
following description whenever applicable.
Any effect parameter in the MPX 1 can be patched for real time control. In some
cases, audible artifacts may be produced, depending on the particular param-
eter and the rate and range of control. In many effects, we’ve added additional
processing power to parameters that are obvious candidates for drastic dynamic
control. These parameters are “interpolated” to produce extremely smooth,
noise free control.
It is often possible to compensate for a non-interpolated parameter, such as
Pitch Detune Level, by combining the effect block with one with an interpolated
Level parameter, such as Mod Volume.
In the following effect descriptions, interpolated parameters are indicated by an
asterisk (*) following the parameter name.
Examples of presets which use the effect are listed at the end of each
description.
