Other Digital Effects

Other digital effects encompass specialised hardware processors that fall outside standard categories such as reverb, delay and dynamics. As digital signal processing expanded throughout the 1980s and 1990s, manufacturers introduced a wide range of dedicated effects units designed for pitch shifting, harmonisation, filtering and experimental processing.

This archive includes studio digital effects hardware used in professional recording environments. From early pitch processors and harmonisers to specialised multi-function units, these systems reflect the continued evolution of dedicated digital signal processing technology.

Roland SDX-330 Dimensional Expander

Roland made chorusing their thing and cemented their place in history with the Dimension D, but by all accounts, it is the SDX-330 that is the best chorus processor. The sad thing is, by the time it was released in 1994, chorusing had pretty much run its course in recording and the sales of this processor must have been very low as they rarely ever come up for sale.
