Using DC-2 Effects
Customizing Effects
When EFFECT ADJUST is selected from the Main menu, the on-screen
display shows a list of parameters specific to the current effect, as well as the
current value of each parameter. (The front panel display shows one
parameter at a time). Use the ▲ and ▼ buttons to move through the
displayed list. Press SELECT to activate a two-line display which allows
you to use ▲ and ▼ to alter the selected parameter’s value. Press DONE to
confirm the change and move on to the next menu item. Each DC-2 Effect
and its parameter menu is described in the following sections.
Although the list of available parameters will vary with different effects, the
last item in each menu is always CUSTOM. Selecting CUSTOM calls up a
sub-menu which allows you to name your custom effects, to compare your
version with the original preset, or to restore the preset versions of the Effect
name and parameter values.
When first shipped, the DC-2 has a set of default values assigned to each
Effect. These values have been determined to be suitable for initial listening.
As every installation has its own unique characteristics, and listeners have
distinctly different preferences, you may want to tailor the Effects to suit
your own requirements. To allow easy cutomization, any parameter changes
you make take effect instantly, and automatically become part of the Effect.
You can even change the name that appears on-screen. Once you have made
the changes you want, the Effect will remain as you have set it unless you
alter it again, or deliberately restore the factory preset parameter values.
Selecting CUSTOM from any Effect Adjust menu will give you access to the
controls listed to the side and described below. Use ▲ and ▼ to highlight
any menu item, then press SELECT to open the submenu.
LISTEN CUSTOM/PRESET lets you compare your edited version of an
Effect with the original version as set at the factory. When this control is
selected, ▲ and ▼ allow you to alternate between the "preset" and your
modified version ("custom"). The display will confirm whether you are
LISTENING TO CUSTOM or PRESET.
Note that this function is available, even if you have not made any changes
to an Effect. Until you make parameter changes to create a custom version
of a preset, the LISTEN TO CUSTOM option will contain an exact duplicate
of the preset Effect.
Exiting this menu restores the CUSTOM version.
