The Sony DPS-V55 is a four channel multi-effect processor with 20-bit quantisation and 48kHz sample rate to yield outstanding audio quality. It should have yielded better results than it does, but the effects sound uninspiring and cold by comparison to all that came before it.
Four channel construction – The Sony DPS-V55 is outfitted with four inputs (and outputs) and can route the input signals in a variety of different ways depending on the chosen effect algorithms and program structures.
Flexible effect algorithms and program structures – The Sony DPS-V55 incorporates a total of 45 different effect algorithms divided into three different types: 4ch, 2ch (stereo), and Mono-Pair. Each effect contains several adjustable parameters and can be easily modified. In addition, 2ch and/or Mono-Pair effects can be used in combination within a program, and the program structure can be switched between serial and parallel, allowing you to take full advantage of the four-channel construction.
User-friendly operating environment – A primary concern when creating the Sony DPS-V55, was to provide an intuitive operating system for creative sound control. All effect parameters can be accessed directly using the EDIT PARAMETER buttons.
Large memory banks – In addition to the 200 different preset programs (numbers 001~200) created by musicians and engineers from around the world (preset memory), there is also room for you to store up to 200 of your own original programs in the user memory (numbers 201~400). We’ve also included a search function so you can recall the programs you need without having to remember their program numbers.
Search function – The search function lets you locate programs you want by specifying the type of effects they contain.
TAP function – The TAP function lets you adjust certain parameters simply by tapping on the ENTER (TAP) button.
MIDI compatibility – The MIDI interface lets you conduct program change and data save operations.
Features
- Great Sound Quality – The DPS-V55 incorporates the same type of 52-bit processing engine as the DPS-V77 offering incredibly full sounding reverbs and choruses and pitch shifting that stays on track
- Flexible Four Channel Processing – Four inputs and four outputs offer incredible flexible operating modes including: 2 input 4 output surround sound processing, 2 independent “true stereo” processors (parallel or series), or 4 independent mono input 4 mono out or dual stereo output processing. That’s 4 processors in one box!
- Full Multi-effects Processor – The DPS-V55 offers a vast array of effects including plate and hall reverbs, up to 10 voice chorusing, delays, pitch shift and harmonization, EQs, limiters and compressors, doppler effects, and more…
- Great Sounding Factory Presets – Many of the factory presets were designed by top producer/engineers from the music recording, television, and film industry such as: Roger Nichols, Tom Jung, Snuffy Walden, Joe Chiccarelli, Michael Bernard
- Incredibly Easy to Use – The DPS-V55 is fast and easy to navigate with the large velocity sensitive data entry wheel, front panel algorithm chart, effect search, and tap tempo function.
