Effect Finder
The DP/Pro offers a powerful mechanism for locating the desired effect from the many available in
memory. This mechanism—Effect Finder—searches for effects according to criteria that you provide.
Effect Finder is accessed via the Find button.

The DP/Pro’s Two ESP2 Processor Chips
The basic building blocks of DP/Pro effects are two of ENSONIQ’s second-generation 24-bit ESP2
custom VLSI chips. “ESP” is an acronym for “ENSONIQ Signal Processing.” The two chips are called
ESP-A and ESP-B.
Each ESP uses an algorithm—a highly specialized digital signal processing program—to perform an
audio processing task. The DP/Pro contains 42 different algorithms, any of which can be used by
either ESP. Each algorithm offers its own set of useful presets, called variations.

Algo B Params B Mod B Bypass B
Algo A Params A Mod A Bypass A
Edit
Algorithm and variation selection occurs after pressing the Algo A (for ESP-A) and Algo B (for ESP-B)
buttons. Chapter 5 explains in detail the manner in which algorithms and variations are selected.
Each algorithm contains a comprehensive suite of parameters, accessed via the Params A and Params
B button. Algorithms parameters are described in Chapter 6.

Algo A Params A Mod A Bypass A
Edit
In addition, each ESP contains its own set of mix-related parameters that govern the ESP’s
input/output levels, stereo balances and, where applicable, its feedback settings. The mixer
parameters are also found under the Params A and Params B buttons. The ESP-A and ESP-B Mixer
Params are described in Chapter 8.
