Page 11: Description Of Programs And Parameters
DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAMS AND PARAMETERS The preset programs in the SPX90 II fall into the following types: REV (Reverb), ER1 and ER2 (Early Reflections), DELAY, ECHO, MOD (Modulation), GATE, PITCH, FREEZE, PAN, VIBRATO and PEQ (parametric equalizer): Each of these program types has a specific selection of programmable parameters. - Page 12 This effect, commonly used in contemporary record- Similar to Delay, Echo brings added dimension and force ings, produces independently variable left-and right- to both instrumental and vocal music.

Page 23: Recording System
RECORDING SYSTEM In a recording system it is most desirable to have the SPX90 II input and outputs available at a patch bay where they may accessed and patched into virtually any part of the system. In some cases it might be best to have the SPX90 II connected directly in line between the source and the mixing console inputs, while in other situations-final mixdown, for example-the SPX90 II should be patched into the mixing console’s... -
