The D32XD/D16XD provides up to twenty-four [*eight] in-
sert effects that you can insert into mixer channels, up to two
master effects that can process the sends from each channel,
and one final effect to process the master bus.
The D32XD provides two effect routes; “Routing A” and
“Routing B.”
“Routing A” consists of insert effects 1–8, master effects 1
and 2, and a final effect.
“Routing B” consists of insert effects 9–24.
The D16XD provides one route, consisting of insert effects 1–
8, master effects 1 and 2, and a final effect.
The number of simultaneously available effects will be different for
a 96 kHz/24-bit song (→“How DSP power is allocated to the ef-
fects”).
The effect programs are common to all of the above types of
effect. There are 128 preset effect programs.
Each effect program is constructed from one of 52 different
effect algorithms.
There are 128 user effect programs in which you can store
your own edited settings, and 32 song effect programs for
each song, in which you can store effect settings for that spe-
cific song.
Each song can store its own 32 song effect programs.
You cannot rewrite the preset effect programs. However, a preset
effect can be recalled, edited and stored to a user program.
Effect type and size
There are two types of effect program: stereo and mono.
You can use either type of program as an insert effect, but
mono programs cannot be used as master effects or as the fi-
nal effect.
Insert effect 8 cannot use a stereo effect program.
Effect programs come in various different sizes. The size of
an effect program will determine how much DSP power it
uses. The total DSP power available for all of the effects is di-
vided up into 32 [*16] “blocks.” The number of blocks of DSP
power used by an effect program is referred to as the Effect
Size - size-1, size-2, etc. As an example, the type of effect pro-
grams that can be used to provide 24 [*eight] simultaneous
insert effects are called “size-1” programs. Relative to this,
other more complex effect programs are categorized as “size-
2” or “size-4” programs.
The size of each effect program is shown by an icon “ ” dis-
played at the right of the effect name.
How DSP power is allocated to the effects
On the D32XD/D16XD, the term “DSP power” refers to the
total processing capability that can be used to process effect
programs.
D32XD
You can use a total of up to 27 effects (the total of insert, mas-
ter, and final effects). However, you are limited to simultane-
ously using no more than 16 effects within Routing A and no
more than 16 effects within Routing B (if the song’s sampling
frequency is 44.1 or 48 kHz). This means that the available
number of effects will depend on the combination of effect
sizes.
There is enough DSP power to process “16 sizes-worth” of ef-
fect programs each for Routing A and Routing B. However
for a 96 kHz/24-bit song, the DSP power will process only “8
sizes-worth” of effect programs for each routing.
A total of eleven effects can be used within Routing A, and a
total of sixteen within Routing B.
A specific amount of DSP power is allocated to the insert,
master, and final effects, and the breakdown for each type of
effect is shown in the following table.
