KORG D3200 - Manual (Page 64)

54
The D3200 provides up to eight insert effects that you can in-
sert into mixer channels, up to two master effects that can
process the sends from each channel, and one final effect to
process the master bus.
The effect programs are common to all of the above types of
effect. There are 128 preset effect programs.
Each effect program is constructed from one of 52 different
effect algorithms.
There are 128 user effect programs in which you can store
your own edited settings, and 32 song effect programs for
each song, in which you can store effect settings for that spe-
cific song.
Each song can store its own 32 song effect programs.
You cannot rewrite the preset effect programs. However, a preset
effect can be recalled, edited and stored to a user program.
Effect type and size
There are two types of effect program: stereo and mono.
You can use either type of program as an insert effect, but
mono programs cannot be used as master effects or as the fi-
nal effect.
Insert effect 8 cannot use a stereo effect program.
As an example, the type of effect programs that can be used
to provide eight simultaneous insert effects are called “size-
1” programs. Relative to this, other more complex effect pro-
grams are categorized as “size-2” or “size-4” programs.
The size of each effect program is shown by an icon “
” dis-
played at the right of the effect name.
How DSP power is allocated to the effects
On the D3200, the term “DSP power” refers to the total
processing capability that can be used to process effect pro-
grams.
There is enough DSP power to process “16 sizes-worth” of ef-
fect programs.
A total of eleven effects can be used by insert, master, and fi-
nal effects, but since the sum of the all the effect sizes is lim-
ited to no more than 16, the number of effects that can be
used simultaneously will change, depending on the combi-
nation of effect sizes.
A specific amount of DSP power is allocated to the insert,
master, and final effects, and the breakdown for each variety
of effect is shown in the following table.
Number of effects and DSP power for each variety of
effect
If you use a size-8 effect for insert effect 1, insert effects 2–8 will
be unavailable.
If you use a size-4 effect for master effect 1, master effect 2 will be
unavailable.
When assigning effects, pay attention to the DSP power indi-
cator in the “EFFRouting” tab page to see how much DSP
power is available.
For details, refer to “Effects that can be used simultaneously”
(
→p.114) in the reference section.
