Understanding SQ-R Effects
The SQ-R has a powerful built in signal processor which can produce a variety of
effects. More importantly, its functions are integrated into, rather than added
onto, the rest of the synthesizer. The flexible bus routing scheme and the
extensive real-time control give the SQ-R its dynamic effects capability.
The SQ-R is equipped with an advanced digital signal processing system based
on the ENSONIQ Signal Processor (ESP) chip. The ESP is designed specifically
for digital audio signal processing and in the SQ-R it has been integrated with a
third generation version of the Digital Oscillator Chip (DOC HI) and an external
16-bit digital-to-analog convener to provide a very high-quality output signal.
The digital effects processing has been designed to complement the advanced
programming features of the SQ-R, and many of the effects can have specific
parameters modulated by various performance controls such as the mod wheel.
The effects are fully programmable, and may be customized for particular
applications. Effects are most often stored as part of a sound, although each
preset has its own independent effect Each effect is treated a little differently,
and will be described individually later in this section.
