Effect Finder
Effect Finder™ can locate effects that meet specified criteria. There are three types of criteria:
• Routing—Effect Finder can search for effects that use the specified type of signal routing.
• FX—Effect Finder can search for effects that employ a specified type of algorithm.
• App—Effect Finder can search for effects that are designated as being used for a specified type of
application.
You can perform an Effect Finder Find procedure utilizing one, two or three of these criteria
simultaneously. Obviously, you can search with a high degree of specificity by using all three criteria
in a single search.
The DP/Pro “knows” the routing of each of its effects, and automatically assigns the appropriate
Routing value to each effect. An effect’s FX and App values are manually assigned when the effect is
saved to memory (see Chapter 11). You can assign as many FX or App values to each effect as you
wish. As you assign these values, you can conform to the below-listed meanings for the different
values to the degree you see fit.
The Effect Finder Criteria
The “All” Setting for an Effect Finder Criterion
Each of the three Effect Finder criteria offers an “All” setting that instructs Effect Finder to accept any
effect that matches any of the criterion’s possible values—the net result of this setting is to turn off the
criterion as a factor in a search. Therefore, whenever a criterion is not a factor in a search, set it to
“All.”
The Routing Criterion
The possible Effect finder choices for the Routing criterion are:
• All—Use this value if the relationship between the DP/Pro’s ESPs is irrelevant.
• S: Serial—will limit the search to effects that employ the Stereo: Serial routing.
• S: Feedback—will limit the search to effects that employ the Stereo: Feedback routing.
• S: Parallel-S—will limit the search to effects that employ the Stereo: Parallel-S routing.
• S: Parallel-M—will limit the search to effects that employ the Stereo: Parallel-M routing.
• M: Dual Mono—will limit the search to effects that employ the 2-Mono: Dual Mono routing.
• M: Stereo Mix—will limit the search to effects that employ the 2-Mono: Stereo Mix routing.
Note: To learn more about the DP/Pro routings, see Chapter 4.
The FX Criterion
The possible Effect finder choices for the FX criterion are:
• All—Use this value if the algorithm used by the effect you seek are irrelevant to your search.
• Reverb—will limit the search to effects using any type of reverb algorithm.
• Room—will limit the search to effects using room simulation algorithms.
• Hall—will limit the search to effects using concert hall simulation algorithms.
• Plate—will limit the search to effects using plate reverb simulation algorithms.
• Non-Lin—will limit the search to effects using non-linear reverb algorithms.
• Delay—will limit the search to digital delay algorithms.
• PitchMod—will limit the search to pitch-modulation algorithms, such as pitch shifters, choruses,
flanger and phasers.
