Overview
of
the
DPS-D7
S
The
DPS-D7
is
a
digital
delay
unit
equipped
entirely with
Sony's
digital
and
audio technology
at
its
highest
level
of
sophistication
which
was
released before
with
the
Digital
Reverberator,
DRE-2000 and
MU-R20
1
and
has
received
much
praise.
Quality-conscious design -
A/D
and
D/A
high
performance
converter
The DPS-D7
converts
the
incoming analog
signal to
a
digital
signal,
passes
it
through various
effects,
then re-converts
it
to
an
analog
singnal
before
output.
The
determinant
to
the
sound
quality
is
the
conversion
mechanism
that
adopts
the
18-bit
oversampling
stereo
A/D
converter
and
the pulse
D/A
converter
of
49,152
MHz. These
account
for
highly
accurate,
less deteriorated
effects.
User-friendly
and
comfortable operation
The
large size
backlit
LCD
of
40
characters by 2
lines
makes
it
possible
to
proceed
with
smooth
operation while viewing
the operating condition
in
real
time.
Moreover,
the
LCD
display
incorporates
an
on-line
manual
(in
English)
which
displays information required
for
operation.
Abundant
preset
memory
settings
The
unit
has
a
hundred
variations
of
the
effects
created by
musicians,
sound
mixers
and
acoustic
engineers around
the
world
in
its
preset
memory.
This
will
help
you
select
and
replay
immediately the desired
effects
for
a
particular
purpose.
Sound
creation of
any
kind
The EDIT
function allows
you
to
modify
the presets
or to
create
some
individual effects.
Besides
the preset
memory
for
a
hundred
effects,
the
unit
has a
so-called
user
memory
where you can save up
to
256
effects
you
are going
to
create.
Using
this
memory
allows
more
varicolored play
of
effects.
Wide
range
of effects
The DPS-D7
is
equipped
with
7 types
of
algorithms
in
the
Delay
block;
Stereo
delay,
Feedback
delay,
Double
delay,
Tap
delay,
Long
tap
delay,
Panpot
tap delay
and
Multi-delay.
In
addition,
it
is
provided
with the Equalizer
block
and
the
Auto panner
block.
By
using
these blocks
and
algorithms, the
DPS-D7
can
create the
wide range
of
effects
which no
other
existing
delay
unit
can
achieve.
Remote
control
The
remote
commander
(not
supplied)
makes
it
possible
to
remotely
control
the
unit.
2
types
of
I/O
connectors
are
provided
The DPS-D7
has
XLR
connectors
(balanced-type)
and
phone
jacks
so
that
it
can be connected
to
instruments,
recording
equipment
or
PA
(public
address) equipment.
Linkage
with
MIDI
equipment
The
MIDI device incorporated
in
the
DPS-D7
can
receive
program change
signals
from another MIDI
equipment
connected so
that
the
DPS-D7
can be
controlled
by
the
MIDI
equipment
connected.
Thus
it
can
function
as an
effector
when
connected
to
digital
instruments.
In
addition,
controls
from PC's
or
MIDI
sequencers
are very
helpful
for
composition.
