Rocktron Intellifex XL - Manual (Page 4)

1
The Rocktron Intellifex ® XL is a 24-bit digital effects processor utilizing two 20-bit con-
verters and Sigma-Delta A/D conversion, achieving a 64x oversampling rate and better than
100dB dynamic range. The Intellifex XL is totally programmable and allows for complete
MIDI control. The unit features pitch shifting, 8 voice stereo chorusing effects, digital delay
effects including 2-tap, stereo and ping ponging effects, unsurpassed digital reverb quality
and highly flexible configuration programming allowing for simultaneous operation of up to 5
effects plus complete mixing capabilities. The unit also offers Hush Systems’ first fully digital
implementation of patented HUSH
® noise reduction at the unit’s input, along with delay and
reverb ducking capabilities.
For a thorough explanation of the Intellifex ® XL and its functions, please read this manual
carefully and keep it for future reference. A better understanding of how the Intellifex ® XL
operates will help make designing your own preset sounds much easier.
After removing the Intellifex ® XL from the box, save all packing materials in case it
becomes necessary to ship the unit.
What makes the Intellifex ® XL unique?
* Super quiet operation due to use of digital HUSH ® and high quality 20-bit converters.
* High purity sound due to the use of a 64X oversampling A/D converter, which samples the
signal 64 times as often as a conventional converter, and also due to the use of a separate
dual D/A converter. Most "bargain" digital effects units use a single converter multiplexed 3
ways, for decidedly higher distortion and lower dynamic range.
* 24-Bit processing and memory circuits to maintain maximum dynamic range.
* Ability to store up to 8 unique MIDI controller patches with each preset.
* Very high quality effects algorithms.
* Highly stereo effects with panning available on almost all signals.
* 8 Voice chorusing with an enormous number of parameters for the richest chorus ever.
* High quality 4 voice pitch shifting over 3 full octaves.
* 2-voice pitch shifting or 4-voice chorusing offered simultaneously with Hush ® , Delay and
Reverb.
* Double-precision 4-band parametric EQ
* Programming via knobs instead of push buttons.
* Easy to read, wide viewing angle display.
