«  Ideal to complement a good reverb! »

Published on 10/06/13 at 04:01
It is a multi-effect that different types of reverb. A hall, a room, a flat, and also incredible reverbs Canyon, tunnel and even a reverb effect that simulates a basement!
Y also has a reverb room is called echo effect that impressed me the most. Y also has the effect of delay, echo, chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo and pitch shifter up to 3 channels.
Y also has a distortion effect and an aural exciter effect. And of panoramic car, compressor, noise gate and effects of a freeze effect that allows a sound sample. Each effect can be equalized and filtered independently!

UTILIZATION

Already use the fact that all menu access buttons are big and curved greatly facilitate handling. It looks nothing like that, but this time I think it's super comfortable and so nice!
Some programs are a lot of editable parameters, but the fact that Yamaha has settings stored in various different menus allows to navigate quickly is great thought for once. For example, the effects of EQ and filter are stored in the EQ menu are immediately accessible from the button with the same name. Again this is very nice and it avoids having to scroll through countless settings before finding the one we want! Frankly I think it's almost easier than the drop down menu on my M3000!

SOUND QUALITY

Well I find quite nice reverbs. They are less attractive than a M3000 for sure, but they are so different, in that suddenly they become complementary. on the other hand are much better than my zoom 1201 which also made serious gadget next to the SPX900.
I also like the chorus, flanger and everything. The effect is called symphonic really nice on a guitar or a bass on all makes. For now I'm not really looked at the effects of noise gate and compressor. The distortion effect is nice too, although it can not really replace a good distortion pedal.
The pitch shifter is really cool, with the possibility of re-inject its already Treaty itself, and especially the possibility of adding a long delay it! It really is class!

Apart from the effect of the echo program room that I find amazing, there is another effect that I find just as great, and that led me to buy this Yamaha. This is the effect of early reflection is fantastic especially programmable wish! it's amazing what you can get with this. Already at the base you can choose several types of reflections and have access to a bunch of editable parameters (sometimes complex), but can also be set to decide yourself, pan each reflection to the left or right of way progressive or not, play their levels and delays! And use it up to 4, A, B, C and D! This is crazy!

It is true that for several programs including effects (max 5), it is not folichon, but it can give a lo-fi genre style. As against those who included two different effects are really not bad, and then they can choose either a stereo or a mono X2 which allows for two completely independent effects on left and right. This is very interesting.

OVERALL OPINION

it's a short month that I bought, and of course I have not done the trick. But already I can say is that it's a great camera, although pro also well thought out and built to last, I think it's super important! It is very pleasant to use, although sometimes a bit complex for the novice that I am. But while browsing and especially cogitate, I never came across an insoluble problem.
I love the look too. It may seem silly to say this, but it is very unpleasant to work with something that is ugly.

I'm really really happy with my purchase, it really complete my M3000 and my LXP5. The only complaint I could make is its limited memory space to store edited programs, I find that fifty is not much.
It blows a little too, but it's no big deal and do not forget it very quickly. To give you an idea, unless it blows my LXP5 and much less than my zoom 1201, so it is not catastrophic.
