INTERNAL EFFECTS

4 independent reconfigurable FX groups (20-bit processing) with individual effect send:
- 2 Multieffects (3 FX blocks: Distortion-EQ-Ring Mod. / Modulation-Delay / Reverb)
- 2 Reverbs (same as the 3rd Multieffect FX block)
MODIFIERS AND CONTROLLERS - Digital Controlled Resonator Filters (26 types: LPF 12/24dB, HPF, BPF, Notch, ecc.)
- 2 ADSR-type envelope generators + additional multi-stage EG with preset templates
- 2 LFO (9 wave types)
MODULATION CONTROL Assignable Program Modulation (APM) system allows the adressing of 14 controllers (EG, LFO, MIDI controllers, etc.) to 17 destinations
SPECIAL FUNCTIONS - Virtual Sample (direct-from-disk sample playing)
- Advanced Timestretch functions (DD1500 algorhythm)
