The 9010 is a sophisticated multi-effect unit that not only allows you to use more than one effect at a time, it also lets you completely reconfigure the signal path, internally and even externally. In other words, the 9010 is actually several multi - effect devices in one. You determine what kind of multi-effect device the 9010 configures itself as according to your signal processing requirements. Despite its advanced operation features and sophisticated functions, the 9010 is extremely easy to use.

signal can be routed to a Type C (stereo/stereo) effect via a send/return connection. ROUTINGS (GROUPS) INPUT 1 Routings (or Groups) are the main signal processing configurations of the 9010. Each Routing employs different signal routings, different Effect Module types, and different patterns of effect placement. The four Routings effectively provide four different total effect systems, to meet the most demanding signal processing requirements.
Routing 4 In this Routing, six Type A effects and one Type B effect are connected in series. This Routing is designed for processing a single instrument, such as a guitar, through multiple effects. Routing 4 also includes two external sendireturn connection points that allow you to integrate additional external effects with the 9010. These send/' return points can be set anywhere in the signal chain.
This easy-to-understand chart introduces you to the main operation modes and menus of the 9010.
PATCH SELECT MODE OVERVIEW In the Patch Select mode you can: Select effect programs (Patch programs) for the currently selected Routing. The memory bank from which the current Patch was selected is displayed in the lower left of the LCD. "Prset" indicates internal preset memory. "User" indicates internal user memory. "Card" indicates ROM card and Card 1 through 3 indicate RAM cards.

EFFECT PROGRAMS AND PARAMETERS This section lists and explains all of the effect programs and effect parameters of the 9010. For brevity, however, repeated listing of the same parameters that occur in different effects has been kept to a minimum. (For example, the Reverb Time parameter in REVERB A and REVERB 1 B is the same for both programs and is only mentioned in the REVERB A description.) The following two parameters, Effect and Direct, are common to most effects.
Pre Dly (Pre-delay Time): 0 -- 125 ms Determines the time that elapses between the direct sound and the first of the reflections that make up the reverb sound. Input: 0 -- 100% Determines the level of the input signal. 3-ECHO A A natural sounding echo can be produced with the help of the Hi Damp parameter. Delay: 1 -- 490 ms Determines the time that elapses between the direct sound and the first delayed repeat, as well as between each successive repeat.
-- Pitch: -12 0 $12 Determines the number of half-steps by which the input signal's pitch is altered. The range is from one octave below (-12) to one octave above ( f 12) the input pitch. Fine: - 5 0 - 0 +50 Allows fine tuning of the pitch-shifted note. 8 -AUTO WAH The central frequency of this wah effect program changes depending on the level of the input sound. - Sense: 0 100 Determines the degree or intensity of the wah effect.
BPF G (Band Pass Filter Gain): -12 0 - t 1 2 dB Determines the amount by which the frequency band is boosted or cut. - Output: 0 -- 200% Determines the total output level of the processed signal. 10-ENHANCER Phase exciter type enhancer program. Release: 0-100 Determines how sharply the gate closes after the Gate Width time is elapsed. Depth: 0 -- 10O0/0 Determines the depth or intensity of the gate effect. The effect is cancelled when set to 0.
13-AMP SIMULATOR This program simulates the sound of a guitar amplifier, and features three different enclosure selections. Especially when combined with the distortion effect, this program reproduces the sound of an amp1ifier recorded through a microphone. BPF F (Band Pass Filter Frequency): 16 8000 Hz Determines the central frequency. Frequencies on either side of this frequency will be cut or boosted (by the BPF G parameter, described below). - BPF Q (Band Pass Filter Bandwidth): 0.
TYPE B PROGRAMS E/Ref Lvl (Early Reflection Level): 0 -- 100% Determines the level of the first discrete sound reflections before the dense reflections of the reverb sound begin. Higher values give the sound greater brilliance and impact, and increase the size and acoustic liveness of the apparent room. All other parameters are the same as REVERB A above. 2- REVERB 2 B Parameters are the same as REVERB 1 B above. 3-E/REFLECTION 1 B Plate-type early reflection program with high density.
6-ECHO B Features separate left and right delay times based on one long delay circuit. Delay: 1 -- 990 ms Determines the time that elapses between the direct sound and the first delayed repeat, as well as between each successive repeat, for both the left and right channels. L-Tap (Left Tap): 0 -- 200°/0 Used in conjunction with the Delay parameter above, this determines the actual delay time of the left channel signal. (Expressed as a ratio to the Delay value.
left and right channels. Lower values produce a subtle chorus effect, while higher values create a pronounced flanger sound. Sync: OFF, 0" -- 345" Determines the phase relationship between the left and right modulation signals by changing the phase degree of the left signal. At any of the degree settings between 0" and 345",the left and right signals are kept in sync. When this parameter is set to OFF, synchronization is cancelled.
L-BPF F, R-BPF F (Band Pass Filter Frequency, Left and Right): 1000 -- 8000 Hz Determines the central frequency for each channel. Frequencies on either side of this frequency will be cut or boosted (by the BPF G parameter, described below). L-BPF Q, R-BPF Q (Band Pass Filter Bandwidth, Left and Right): 0.5-2 Determines the width of the frequency band that will be cut or boosted for each channel.
5 - ECHO C This program features a complex stereo delay routing system, especially suited for creation of rhythmic stereo delay effects. Each channel, left and right, has an initial delay (Tap) which is split, given independent delays and then fed to the left and right delay circuits. Feedback is also provided for the delay signals of both channels. This illustration shows the signal path: L-FEEDBACK 7 L E n CHANNEL INPUT .
R-XTap (Right Cross-tap): off, 1 -- 200% Determines amount the right signal is initially delayed before being sent to the left delay circuit. (The delay sound is not output when this parameter is set to OFF.) - Input: 0 100% Determines the level of the input signal. 6-CHORUS C This stereo chorus program features excellent separation and definition. Parameters are the same as CHORUS B above.
10-EQUALIZER C EQ program with 2-in/2-out dual channel operation. Parameters are the same as EQUALIZER B above. 11-THRU This is a bypass setting. It sends the input signal unprocessed to the next stage. The volume of the signal can be adjusted. L-Output, R-Output: 0 -- 200% Determines the total output level of the processed signal for each channel. TYPE D PROGRAMS Note: Both Type D programs, Reverb D and Multi Chorus use Inputs 1 and 2, and Outputs 1 and 2.
- Separation: 0 4 Determines the perceived distance or degree of stereo separation between the left and right sound components. Spread: 0 -- 4 This parameter adds an increasing amount of stereo separation (or a gradually expanding "spread!! in the sound) as the reverb decays. (This parameter has little effect when the Separation parameter above is set to a large value.) lnput Mode: Mono, Stereo Determines the input/output configuration of the effect.

operate the 9010 more effectively when editing the parameters of a single effect module. Note: Even though several effects can be active simultaneously in normal operation, pressing the QUICK key here temporarily disables all effects other than the one currently selected. The EDlT DlAL can also be used within this QUICK key function to jump quickly between two selected parameters in a single effect module by Rapid operation. 1. Press the QUICK key to turn its LED to red. 2.
The mixer has a built-in delay system that allows you to delay the input signals by up to 99 msec. This built-in delay gives the 9010 even more versatility than is possible with just a send level control. For example, panning and delay can be used on a mono signal to create "fake" stereo with the Haas effect (phase reversal panning), or independent pre-delays can be applied to each input channel when using reverb with the Type C effect. Editing Routing Parameters 1.
At a value of 0, the delay time for both the left and right signals is the same as that set in the Mix Dly parameter. When left signal values (with the L prefix) are set, the total delay time of the left channel output equals the Mix Delay value plus the value set here. The right channel delay remains at the Mix Delay setting. When right signal values (with the R prefix) are set, the total delay time of the right channel output equals the Mix Delay value plus the value set here.

Real-time Modulation of Effect Parameters The 9010 lets you control effect parameters in real time by connected pedals and MlDl controllers. Some of the applications include using a pedal to increase or decrease the modulation depth of a chorus effect, or sweeping the low pass frequency of an equalizer program by moving a pitch bend wheel on a synthesizer, or making the reverb time become progressively longer when you play higher notes on a MlDl keyboard.
Note: Most commercially available volume pedals for guitars (of over 100 k-ohms) can be used to control the Pedal Real-time Modulation functions of the 9010. Press the EXIT key to return operation to the Effect Parameter mode. As with Pedal Real-time Modulation, the parameters which have been set for MlDl Real-time Modulation are indicated with an MI or M2 in the lower left corner of the LCD, just in front of the parameter number.
