Other Digital Effects

Digital effects processors showcase the best of digital signal processing, offering multiple effects like reverb, delay, and modulation in one unit. Eventide pioneered this field with the H910 Harmonizer, the first commercially available digital effects processor, combining pitch effects, delay, and feedback. This innovation cemented Eventide’s dominance, culminating in the cutting-edge H9000. Yamaha also made waves with the SPX90 in 1985, a one-rack-space processor featuring reverb, delay, chorusing, and more, leading to a successful SPX series. Other notable players like Alesis, Ensoniq, Korg, Kurzweil, Lexicon, Roland, Sony, and TC Electronic have contributed standout products, including the Ensoniq DP/4, DP/4+, and Sony DPS-V77.

Ensoniq DP Pro Effects Processor

The Ensoniq DP Pro released in 1997, was the final effects processor to come out of Ensoniq. It came after the success of the DP/4, DP/4+ and DP/2 processors. Unlike the DP/4 & DP/4+, the Ensoniq DP Pro was a stereo effects processor. Sadly, two channels of processing were not all it lost; it also lost the more intuitive interface of the DP/4 series of processors.

Sony DPS-V55 Multi Effects Processor

Sony made a killer effects processor with the DPS-V77, so next step was to capitalise on that with a four-channel version, right? But something went wrong…On paper at least, the Sony DPS-V55 should be a killer effects processor, but by all accounts, it does not succeed. Just as Roland did with their SRV-3030, the sound quality leaves a lot to be desired.
Released in 1998
