Effect Type Settings

With the digital effects built into the 9000Pro you can add ambiance and depth to your 
music in a variety of ways—such as adding reverb that makes you sound like you are 
playing in a concert hall for a full, rich sound. 

■ Effect Block
The 9000Pro has 9 independent digital signal processing (DSP) blocks for effects, plus 
the Vocal Harmony processor. Each DSP block applies to a specific part or portion of 
the 9000Pro sound, as listed below. The DSP block numbers appear in several locations 
on the 9000Pro panel and in some of the display screen for easy reference: e.g., 
REVERB (1), CHORUS (2), DSP (3), DSP (4), etc.  

■ About the Effect Connections – System and Insertion
All the effect blocks are connected or routed in one of two ways: System or Insertion. 
System applies the selected effect to all parts, while Insertion applies the selected effect 
to one specific part. Reverb (1) and Chorus (2) are System effects, and DSP (4) - Vocal 
Harmony (9) are Insertion effects. The DSP (3) effect, on the other hand, can be config-
ured for either System or Insertion routing. (This is done from the parameters of the 
individual effect type; see above.)
