Assignable Function Keys The keys allow one touch direction to direct recall, activate selected effects and make parameter selection easy for edit mode. Press the keys to change the LCD display. Input Level Controls These concentric controls vary the input levels of the analog inputs.
THE REAR PANEL L & R Input Connectors These are the analog stereo inputs to the SPX990. The XLR3-31 type connector and TRS phone jacks are both electrical balanced input connectors. Refer to "SELECTING AN INPUT MODE" on page 9 when connecting to monaural output jacks. Input Level Switch (+4dB/-20dB) The level switch selects either -20dB or +4dB nominal input level. L & R Output Connectors These are the analog stereo output to the SPX990.
THE SPX990 SYSTEM EFFECT CONFIGURATION The SPX990 allows access to three separate groups of effect programs - pre-effect, main effect and post-effect. It has 36 main effects, 4 pre-effects and 3 post-effects to select on. The pre and post-effects are equalizing and dynamic controls which play a role in the main effects. These internal memory locations parameters provide flexibility in many ways we could enjoy.
MEMORY CONFIGURATION In the SPX990, there are three memory areas in which a total of 280 programs can to fed into or recalled. Preset Memory: No. 1-80 = 80 types The preset memory contains 80 effect programs. (See page 12 for "Preset Program List") that you can select and use without modification. The preset programs themselves cannot be erased or changed in any way, but they can be edited and stored in the USER or CARD memory to create original variation. Card Memory: No.
MEMORY & EDIT MODES There are two types of modes in this unit: Memory Mode This mode makes use of the effect program to recall that program. (see page 10). This mode normally appears when the power switch is ON. Memory Mode Edit Mode This mode set or edit the effect parameters. Press the EDIT key to get this mode. There are 5 menu pages to this mode. For selection of pages, press the PAGE Select keys. PRESET (No.1 ~ 80) USER (No.1 ~ 99, 00) CARD (No.
SELECTING AN INPUT MODE (Edit Mode: Page 5 menu) We should try to understand input mode selection even though the preset effect program can be edited and stored. The SPX990 inputs are stereo input connectors. However, signal from the left jack can be fed to both left and right channel processing circuitry and similarly, the signal from the right jack can be passed to the left and right channel processing circuitry.
GENERAL OPERATION MEMORY RECALL There are 3 methods to recall a program; 1 . Recall by panel key .............. standard method. 2.

EDITING AN EFFECT PARAMETER MODE (Edit Mode: Page 1 menu) Every program has different changeable parameters available in each effect. Original programs can be created by varying the parameters. The number of parameters and its type may be different to create an effect but the procedure for editing of a program is the same.
TITLE EDITING (Edit Mode: Page 2 menu) You can title an effect program or change the original title (max. 16 letters) of an effect program that is edited by using the dial or the function and keys.
STORING A PROGRAM You can store original programs with changed parameters after recalling the programs from the three memory locations (preset, user and card) into the user memory location or the memory card. Also, you can choose the desired program to be used in the three selections in the memory area and store in the user memory location or the memory card. How to store a program Set the user memory protect at OFF before storing a program.
SELECTING USER MEMORY PROTECT (Edit Mode: Page 5 menu) You cannot store any edited data in the user memory location if the user memory protect is set at Pressing the STORE key by mistake will not activate the storing effect. The procedure for user memory protect mode Press the EDIT key to get the edit mode. Then use the PAGE Select and keys to display the of the edit mode.

How to set a memory card Insert the MCD-64 or MCD-32 memory card well into the memory card slot.
SELECTING A FOOT SWITCH (BYPASS, INC/DEC TERMINAL) (Edit Mode: Page 5 menu) The BYPASS, INC/DEC terminal in the rear panel can be connected to Yamaha's optional foot switch FC4 or FC5 and the following selection can be done: • BYPASS function This function serves the same operation as the BYPASS key on the front panel. • Memory INC/DEC function A selected program can be recalled within a certain range by using the foot switch. Every time the foot switch is been pressed on, a program will be changed.
THE PROGRAMS & PARAMETERS In the SPX990, original programs can be created by editing the preset program. Therefore, it is important that we understand each and every preset program fundamentally in order to make full use of the effects. Those parameters which have mark cannot be controlled by MIDI parameter, (refer to page 56) SELECTING AN EFFECT As explained in the earlier section, one program is made up of 3 effects: pre-effect, main effect and the post effect.
PRE & POST EFFECT PARAMETERS The following are four kinds of pre and post effects: • P. EQ....................................... Parametric Equalizer • Comp......................................... Compressor • HarmDr ...................................... Harmonic Driver • Dist........................................... Compressor, Distortion & Equalizer (only for pre-effect) Name of effect (LCD display) 3-band Parametric Equalizer (P.
Compressor (Comp.) 2in/2out This is the compressor of the stereo IN/OUT function. When a signal above the set level is inputed, that level will be reduced and outputed. It is possible to reduce the signal peak completely to eliminate the distortion, to average the touching effect when preforming and to raise the volume overall. When compressing the compressor to gain the dynamic range, a small volume of noise can be heard. In order to lessen this noise, a noise gate is installed in this program.
Compressor, Distortion EQ (Dist.) 1 in/1out This is the program connecting the compressor, distortion and 2band parametric equalizer respectively. Since it is an monaural IN/OUT program, the Lch input and Rch input are mixed and effected. Then they are assigned to the Lch and Rch output separately. CmpTyp (Compressor Type: Off, Compr., Limit) Choice of types of compressor. Compr. : compress the dynamic range to average the sound effect. Limit. : simply compress the peak limit to avoid distortion.
PROGRAM MAIN EFFECT PARAMETERS This section includes brief descriptions of each of the SPX990 basic effect as well as descriptions of the parameters available in each effect. In the earlier parts, we have explained about pre and post effect parameters and now, we will devote ourselves to the main effect parameters. There are 80 preset memory programs in the SPX990. The main effect parameters are divided into several groups of programs: REVERB PROGRAMS • Reverb (Reverb) 8. CONCERT HALL 10. VOCAL PLATE 14.
REVERB EFFECTS Reverberation is the warm musical "ambience" you experience when listening to music in a hall or other properly-designed acoustic environment. "Reverb", "FiltRev" and "EchRoom" effects combine with the gate program to control REV output gate. You can vary the length of time it takes for the level of reverberation to decrease. Density (Density: 1 ~ 4) This parameter determines the density of the reverb reflections (i.e. the average amount of time between reflections).
Filtered Reverb (FiltRev) 1in/2out It is a reverberation that alter the reverb time of the high and low frequency sound. Stereo Reverb (St.Rev) 2in/2out The stereo reverb program produces the reverb sound and input sound independently for the left and right channel signals. Parameters RevTyp (Reverb Type: Hall, Room, Vocal, Plate) RevTime (Reverb Time: O.3sec ~ 480.0sec) IniDly (Initial Delay Time: 0.1msec ~ 200.0msec) Diffuse (Diffusion: 0 ~ 10) Density (Density: 0 ~ 10) RevDIy (Reverb Delay Time: 0.
Echo Room (EchRoom) 1in/2out This is a special type of reverberation in which you have extensive control over the room's dimension and other parameters. Parameters Rev Time (Reverb Time: 0.3sec ~ 480.0sec) HiDump (High Dump: 0.1 ~ 1.0) Same as Reverb (Normal Reverb). IniDly (Initial Delay Time: 0.1msec ~ 200.0msec) This represents the time delay between the direct sound of an instrument in a concert hall and the first of the many reflections that make up reverberation. Width (Width: 0.
GATE The reverb time of SPX990 can be set at a max. time of 480sec. When combines with GATE, this reverb time which remains long can produce a sound that has a short fade-out effect. The "GateRev" effect applies the early reflection while the reverb effect combines with GATE applies the reverb sound to produce a better sound quality and sharper sound by cutting the reverb sound halfway. Thus the combination of the reverb effect and GATE can provide us the convenience of many usages.
ER (EARLY REFLECTION) EFFECTS ER effects are created using different groupings of "Early Reflection" the first cluster of reflections that occurs after the direct sound but before the dense reflections that are know as reverberation begin. This produces interesting results in the drum, permission , guitar and some other brass instruments. Live (Liveness: 0 ~ 10) "Liveness" refers to the rate at which the reflected sounds fade. An acoustically "dead" room is simulated by setting this parameter to zero.
DELAY, ECHO EFFECTS Delay L, C, R (Dly-LCR) 1in/2out These sophisticated delay effects offer independently variable left, center and right channel delays. There are two types of feed back stereo delays. Parameters L.Dly (Lch Delay Time: 0.1msec ~ 1480.0msec) R.Dly (Rch Delay Time: 0.1msec ~ 1480.0msec) C.Dly (Center ch Delay Time: 0.1msec ~ 1480msec) These parameters individually set the time between the direct sound of the instrument and the first repeat heard from the left, right and center channels.
Echo (Echo) 1in/2out The echo effect offers independently variable left and right echo intervals. Parameters L.FbDIy (Lch Peed Back Delay: 0.1msec ~ 740.0msec) Sets the time between the echo sound and the first repeat heard from the left channel. L.Fb (Lch Feed Back Gain: -99% ~ +99%) Individually set the amount of the left channel echo signal fed back to the left channel input of the processor. The lower the feedback gain setting, the smaller the number of echo repeats produced by the feedback loop.
Mulli Tap Delay (MIt. Tap) 1in/2out This is a multi-tap delay effect in which the time, stereo position and level of up to 6 separate delays can be individually programmed. Parameters Delay1 (Delay1 0.1msec ~ 1480.0msec) The first delay time. The time when the first tap delay sound occurs. Level1 (Level1: -100% ~- +100%) The output level of the first tap delay sound. A minus value produces a reverse-phase delay sound. Pan1 (Pan1: 100/0 ~ 0/100) Sets the stereo position of this first tap delay sound.
Stereo Echo (St. Echo) 2in/2out The stereo echo effect offers independently variable left and right channel initial delays and echo intervals. Parameters L.Dly (Lch Feed Back Delay: 0.1msec ~ 740.0msec) Sets the time between the echo sound and the first repeat heard from the left channel. L.Fb (Lch Feed Back Gain: -99% ~ +99%) Individually sets the amount of the left channel echo signal fed back to the left channel input of the processor.
As the delay time of the following three effects can be determined by parameters of "Tempo" and "Note", you can easily adjust the delay time to the music tempo. 1in/2out Tempo Mono Delay (TmpEch1) Determines single delay of stereo-out. Tempo Stereo Echo (TmpEch2) 2in/2out Determines stereo echo of completely independent Lch and Rch. TAP INPUT You can set the delay time suitable for the music tempo in intervals by pressing soft keys or foot switch twice.
Tempo Mono Delay (TmpEch1) 1in/2out Parameters Tempo (Tempo: = 41 ~ 250) Indicates the numbers of a quarter note which are played in one minute (beat/minute). Note Determines the length of sound by notes. The delay time is expressed by the length of an eighth note when the tempo = 100. The actual delay time is calculated and indicated as a parameter in Time. Time (Time: 10msec) The delay time calculated in Tempo and Note is indicated. The delay time can be adjusted in the ranee of msec.
Tempo Stereo Echo (TmpEch2) 2in/2out Tempo Quad Echo (TmpEch4) 2in/2out Parameters Tempo (Tempo: LNote (Lch Note: R.Note (Rch Note: L.Time (Lch Time: RTime fRch Time: Parameters Tempo (Tempo: = 82 ~ 250) L.Lvl (Lch Level: -100% ~ +100%) R.Lvl (Rch Level: -100% ~ +100%) Note1 (Note 1: Note2 (Note 2: LFb (Lch Feed Back Gain: -99% ~ +99%) R.Fb (Rch Feed Back Gain: -99% ~ +99%) Time1 (Time 1: 5msec) Time2 (Time 2: 5msec) L R Diffuse (Diffusion: 0 ~ 10) R.
MOD (MODULATION) EFFECTS When the different delay times of sound are mixed, the tone will be changed by the phase difference. A tone change effect can be produced by modulating the delay time and the level of delay sound. Flange (Flangar) 2in/2out Dual Flange (DualFIg) 2in/2out The flanging effect is produced by varying the delay between 2 identical signals, thus producing a complex varying "Comb Filter" effect. Parameters ModFrq (Modulation Frequency: 0.05Hz ~ 40.
FM Chorus (FM.Cho) 2in/2out The chorus effect combines delay time and amplitude modulation to effectively thicken and add warmth to the sound. Phaser (Phaser) 2in/2out This is an excellent simulation of traditional "phaser" effect, producing a gentle phase - shift sound that can be used to add extra animation to a wider range of source signals. Parameters Parameters ModFrq (Modulation Frequency: 0.05Hz ~ 40.0Hz) Sets the speed of modulation and hence the rate at which the chorus effect varies. DM.
PITCH CHANGE EFFECTS When the sound of voice and musical instruments are inputed, this effect produces the pitch change sound. Mono Pitch Change, Dual Pitch Change and Triple Pitch Change has an Intelligent Pitch function which can produce pitch shift sound against the inputed sound according to a specified scale as a chromatic harmony pitch change. Mono Pitch Change (MonoPit) Dorian Wole Tone 1in/1out The Mono Pitch program produces a single pitch-shifted note.
Pitch (Pitch: Oct~ Oct) This determines the musical interval between the pitch change sound and original sound. You can specify it in the semi-tone steps produces one octave sound below and produces one octave sound above "Unison" produces the original sound. This musical interval can become the pitch change sound when feedback is applied. For instance, if you set this parameter to and apply feedback to this, C3 sound can be inputed. The semi-tone steps will move up and echolike sound will be produced.
Level1 (Level 1:0% ~ 100%) Level2 (Level 2: 0% ~ 100%) Sets the parameters same as "MonoPit" effect for Pitch 1 and Pitch2. Pan1 (Pan 1:100/0-0/100) Pan2(Pan2: 100/0~0/100) Sets the parameters for Pitch 1 and Pitch2 individually. A setting of 100/0 positions the sound to the left. A setting of 0/ 100 positions the sound to the right and 50/50 positions the sound in the center.
Stereo Pitch Change (StPitch) 2in/2out The Stereo Pitch Change programs produces a smooth pitch shift effect rather than an abrupt shift from note to note. The parameters affect both the left and right channels simultaneously. PAN EFFECTS Auto Pan (AutoPan) 1in/2out This ia a very sophisticated pan program that allows creation of "rotary" pan in addition to straightforward pan effect.
Triggered Pan (TrigPan) 1in/2out MidiTrg (MIDI Trigger: OFF, ON) When this parameter is turned ON, a MIDI NOTE ON message from an external MIDI keyboard can be used to trigger the pan, HPF (High Pass Filter Frequency: THRU, 32Hz ~ 1.0kHz) Permits the rolling off the low frequency content of the signal above the set frequency. The HPF is OFF when set to THRU.
MULTI-EFFECTS The SPX990 multi-effect combine compressor, distortion, equalizer or dynamic filter, reverb and chorus effects and this section attempts to explain how the various effects are connected. Chorus & Reverb (Cho&Rev) 1in/2out This is the multi-effect program of the Stereo Chorus and Stereo Reverb.
Flanger & Reverb (Flg&Rev) 1in/2out This is the multi-effect program of the Stereo Flanger and Stereo Reverb. Parameters Direction (Effect Direction: Flange+Reverb, Flange Reverb, Reverb Flange) Refer to "Cho&Rev" effect on page 44. ModFrq (Modulation Frequency: 0.05Hz ~ 40.0Hz) Depth (Modulation Depth: 0% ~ 100%) Delay (Delay Time: 0.1msec ~ 20.0msec) FbGain (Feed Back Gain: 0% ~ 99%) Refer to "Flanger" effect on page 37. RevTime (Reverb Time: 0.3sec ~ 480.0sec) HiRatio (High Ratio: RevTime x0.21 ~ x1.
ER (L)/Reverb (R) (ER/Rev) 2in/2out This is the dual effect program in which the signal input on the left channel is delivered in ER and the signal input on the right channel is delivered in Reverb. Output (Output Mode: Stereo, Monox2) When set to stereo, the output of the left and right-channel processors are mixed and the output signal is delivered in stereo. When MONOx2 is selected, the left and right-channel processors are completely independent. Refer to "Rev/Rev" effect on page 45.
Echo (L)/ Reverb (R) (Ech/Rev) 2in/2out This is the dual effect program in which the signal input on the left channel is delivered in Echo sound and the signal input on the right channel is delivered in Reverb. RevDIy (REVERB Initial Delay Time: 0.1msec ~ 200msec) This is the time taken for the reverb sound occurs. Output (Output Mode: STEREO, Monox2) When set to stereo, the outputs of the left and right-channel processors are mixed and the output signal is delivered in stereo.
Chorus(L)/ Reverb(R) (Cho/Rev) 2in/2out Pan(L)/Pan(R) (Pan/Pan) 2in/2out This is the dual effect program in which the signal input on the left channel is delivered in Chorus and the signal input on the right channel is delivered in Reverb. This is the effect program in which the signal inputs on both the left and right channels are delivered in PAN1 and PAN2 independently.
FREEZE EFFECT 1in/2out Freeze (Freeze) The FREEZE programs allow sampling (digital recording) and playback of sounds received at the SPX990's inputs. The freeze program permits mono-sampling for a maximum of 1.35seconds allows playback start and end functions. The freeze program, like the pitch change program, can change the pitch signal and playback the data. NOTE: When the power supply is at OFF, the recorded sound will be gone.
Playback START/END Points Start (Start Point: 0msec ~ 1350msec) END (End Point: 0msec ~ 1350msec) The parameters determine at what point playback will begin or end when a trigger occurs. If the END point is set to a time earlier than the START point, the sampled sound will be reversely played back. Playback Loop Point Loop (Loop Point: 0msec ~ 1350msec) LopFin (Loop Fine: -200 ~ +200) When sampling "ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE" of a human voice.
Changing of Pitch During Playback Changing of Pitch Pitch (Pitch: Oct~ Oct) Fine (Pitch Fine: -100 ~ +100) The playback pitch can be changed same as the PITCH effect. PITCH can be varied from two octaves below and above the original pitch of the sampled sound. PITCH FINE permits fine tuning of the playback pitch in one-cent increments. (a cent is 1/100th of a semitone). Changing of Pitch by MIDI Base Key (Base Key: OFF, C1 ~ C6) When the MIDI NOTE ON message appears, the value of pitch can be changed.
MIDI CONTROL The SPX990 is installed with MIDI terminal to be connected with the external MIDI devices for several controls and functions. "Musical Instrument Digital Interface", MIDI is the signal format for digital instruments, sound control and parameters information. • To operate the MIDI control, connect MIDI terminal with the external MIDI devices.
