Parameters
Each effect is made up o f several elements callcd parameters. Most of lhese
parameters can be edited, in order to makc thc cffcct do exactly what you want. The
9001 storcs an effect as the sum of its parameter scttings.
Program
After you have cdited the various parameters of an cffect, and adjusted the desired
output level, you can store the result as a program. The 9001 also comes with 40
predefined programs already stored in its memory. During a performance or a
recording, you can use the 9001 by calling up the desired programs in the sequence
you want. The preset programs stored in memory can be changed by t.hc user.

When using the 9001 as described above in the SENDlRETUHN loop of a mixer,
it is advisable to use only effects in the categories STUDIO and DRUMS and to
set the DIR parameter (direct sound mix onloff) to OFF. Since effects in other
categories do not have the option of turning the direct sound off, their use in
this type of application is not recommended. For details on parameters, please

Reverb
Reverberation adds the impression of spatial dcpth to the sound. When music is heard for
example in a hall, the sound will be reflected at hard surfaces such as walls etc. The delay
between arrival of the direct sound and arrival of the first reflection (called early reflection) is
called the prc-delay time. The higher the level of the early reflection and the shorter the prcdclay time, the smaller the perceived space becomes.
After thc first reflection at wt~lls,thc sound is furlhcr reflected, with lalcr rcflcctions gradually
decaying in intensity. The level of these reflections is called the reverb lcvcl, and the time until
the reflections cease completely is callcd the reverb time.
The softer the reflecting surfaces arc, the greater is thc high frequency attenuation in the reflected
sound, and the shoner is the reverb time. This is the case for example in a room with soundabsorbing treatment. Rcvcrscly, the harder the reflecting surfaces, the higher is the high- frequency
content of h e rcflcctions and Ihe longer the revcrb time, such as for example in a large hall.
Reverberation Parameters
The effects in the categories STUDIO and DRUMS differ from effects in other
categories in three regards:
1) Stereo input/output is passible by using a stereo input signal and mixing it
before applying the effect.
2) The LVL parameter affects only the effect level, not the direct sound level.
3) The DIR parameter permits turning direct sound mixing on or off. When the
9001 is connected between the sound source and the playback equipment, the
p a r a m e t e r should be set to ON. W h e n t h e 9001 is used in the
SENDfRETURN loop of a mixer, the parameter should be set to OFF.

Although similar in conccpt, the reflection density of the echo effect is more coarse than that of
the reverberation effect. The intervals between the single echo sounds are determined by the
delay time, and the number of repetitions by the feedback parameter. II the diffusion parameter
is increased, the echo effect becomes more similar to the reverberation cffect.

Echo Parameters
The echo effect allows choosing between three different types of echo:
1) Single delay
2) Ping-pong delay
Echo alternates betwe.cn the left and right channels.
In a monaural sctup where only the left output is used, the left and right echo
components are mixed, so that the echo is heard at a cycle of 1/2 the delay time.
3) Multi feedback delay
The interval and lefvright position of the echo changes in various ways.
1) Single delay
2) Ping-pong delay

The peculiar soft sound character of the chorus effect is achieved by varying the pitch of the
original sound at a certain regular cycle and adding the resulting signal to the direct sound. The
amount of variation is determined by the depth parameter, and the color parameter determines

"Hysteric" and using a vocal signal results in a sound like a crazed singing
robot. When RATE is set to 0, the pitch does not change, but the sound has a
special metallic ring that differs depending on when the RATE 0 setting was
chosen.
When a program was stored with the RATE 0 setting, the sound differs
depending on when the program is called up.

This section explains the use of the Utility mode which serves for general system
functions.
ACOUSIIC
The Utility mode has the following three functions. With each push of the UTILITY
(TYPE) key, the unit switches to the next funclion and the display changes accordingly.
The last push of the UTILITY (TYPE) key returns the unit to the Play mode.

*
Use the VALUE +/- keys to adjust the input sensitivity of the 9001.
Sct the output level of the sound source to the normal value. Then adjust the input
sensitivity of the 9001 with the VALUE +/- keys so that the SIGNAL indicator lights
up in yellow during input signal peaks. The input sensitivity can be set in five steps,
from 1 to 5. The lower the figure, the lower the input gain.
The following settings can serve as a general guideline. Actual requirements may differ.

Use the BANK UP/DOWN keys and the PROGRAM 1 - 4 keys to select the
program you want to recall. 'l'he sound you hear is t h a t of the recalled
program,
To store a program called up from ROM in a program memory
Press the STORE kcy. The unit is now sct to thc Storc mode, and the bank numbcr
and program numbcr indication flashes. Choosc thc numbcr into which you want to
store the program and press the STORE key again. (By pressing the EDIT/CANCEL
key you can cancel the store opcraiion and rcturn thc Prcset Recall mode.) The
program from ROM is storcd in the sclccted numbcr, and the unit reverts to the Play
mode. (The storcd program is now sclectcd and its sound is hcard.)
With the optional Foot Controller FCOl, functions such as program selection and
effect on/off switching can be carried out by foot.
Connections
Use the cable supplied with the FCOl to connect the REMOTE jack on the 9001 with
the foot controller.
Because the FCOl is powered from the 9001, thcre is no need for a separate power
supply for the foot controller. Be sure to turn the 9001 off before making any
connections.
Selecting a Program
Use the BANK switch on the FCOl to select a bank number from 0 to 9.
The LED indicator on the FCOl cycles through the following indications.
The 0 - 9 indication corresponds to the bank number on the 9001. "P" indicates the
effect off (bypass) condition. If the effect is already off, "P" is skipped and the
indica~ionproceeds directly to "0" or "5".
Use the PROGRAM 1 - 4 switches on the FCOl to select the program number.
As when using the switches on the 9001, selecting the bank number does not
suffice to switch the program. The program is only switched when you press one
of the PROGRAM 1 - 4 switches.
Press one of the PROGRAM 1 4 switcl~eson the FCO1. The flashing stops
and the indicator shows the previously selected bank number.
To cancel the bypass condition, press any PROGRAM swilch on the FCOl to select a
program. (This can be carried out also aL the 9001 .)
The 9001 can only be remote controlled by the VC01 when in the Play mode.
When the 9001 is in another mode, the LED indicator of the FCOl flashes, and
program selection or effect d o f f switching cannot be carried out.
