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.

Sony DPS-M7 Sonic Modulator

After a digital reverb and a digital delay, the next logical choice for Sony was a modulation processor, and that is exactly what they delivered with the Sony DPS-M7. With the new Sony DPS-M7, Sony continued to improve the sonic characteristics of the internals, with the DPS-M7 showing even better noise floor performance than even the DPS-D7 that preceded it.

Sony DPS-F7 Dynamic Filter Plus

After the digital reverb, digital delay and then a modulation processor, what could Sony release next? A dynamic filter, which lacked the appeal of the first three effects in the DPS line up. The Sony DPS-F7 is suited to keyboard players more so than studios, as it generates rather interesting effects for keyboards including vocoder and synthesiser. Having said that, creative engineers could find great use for this effect in their racks.
