- 1 - INTRODUCTION Thank you for purch asing a DMV-P RO and c ongratu lations! You no w own one of the m ost sophisticat ed pieces of audio si gnal-proc essin g technol ogy ava ilable.
- 2 - INSTALLATION The DMV-PRO may be used in a var iety of setups including wit h mixer c hannel inserts , mixers with reverb send an d return f aciliti es, and i n the ef fect s loop of an instr um ent or P.

For m ore inf ormation on param eters, see pag e 28. ) PROCESSORS (A) & (B) ENCODER / SWITCH The firs t two Encoders are used separ ately to vie w and modif y their c orrespo nding pr ocess or’s param eters and ef fects .
- 8 - option is availa ble as a n effec t param eter. See the param eter desc riptions o n page 28 for m ore inform ation on bypass ing in di vidua l effe cts .
- 9 - 2 UNLOADED PRESET INDICATOR W hen you turn the Preset Encoder to vie w presets, th e DMV-PRO ’s s ound won’ t change unt il you pr ess the Preset Encod er to lo ad the pr eset. The Un loade d Preset I ndicator is a rem inder th at you ar e view ing an un loaded pr eset.

- 11 - Setting Dry Kill and Global Mix : To adjust Dr y Kill or G lobal Mix , pres s the MIDI/U til bu tton. T urn the Pres et Enco der unti l [ ] appears on the top li ne of LCD (A). Turn Enco der (A) t o s witch the bo ttom line of LCD ( A) bet ween ON an d OFF.
- 12 - DMV-PRO REAR PANEL CONNECTIONS Despite th e DMV-PRO ’s sophis ticatio n, it’s eas y to interf ace the unit with other equipm ent. Al l inputs and outputs are located o n the rear panel. Standar d ¼” inp uts an d outputs m ake patching s imple.
- 13 - & OUTPUTS #1–4 All four Outp uts are single- ended (unbal anced) ¼” jac ks with low im pedanc e. A pres et’s r outin g determ ines the use of each Output jac k . For exam ple, Cas c ade and Mu lt i FX Rout ings do not us e O ut puts # 3 an d # 4.
- 14 - TUTORIAL The best wa y to unders tand the DM V-PRO is just to j ump in a nd edit som e presets. It do esn’t take lo ng and you’ll see how eas y edit ing is d ue to the DM V-PRO ’s intu itive la yout.
- 15 - Cascad e Cascade ro uting a lso has two eff ects with two linked engi nes, but t he outpu t of the f irst gr oup is fed into the second. In this routi ng, you ha ve t wo stack ed, true-stereo ef fec ts. Only Inputs and Outputs # 1 and #2 ar e us ed.
- 16 - TUTORIAL 1: ST ARTING FROM SCRATCH AND CHA NGI NG EFFECTS Edit the Routing: By editi ng an y preset ’s rout ing, you are ess entia lly bui lding a new preset fr om s cratc h. W hen routings are cha nged, the D MV-PRO rec onfigures its int ernal arc hitecture and lo ads in default eff ects.
- 17 - Repeatedl y press th e Routin g button u ntil t he Disc rete 4 Rout ing LED is lit. O bserve b oth LCDs. Again, the DMV-PRO has loaded def ault eff ects for Disc rete 4 routing, but notice that t here are no w two effec ts in each LCD. Look at LCD ( A).
- 18 - Follow the instruc tions: Us e the Preset Enc oder to s elect t he pres et num ber that you want to over write (you don’t hav e to tur n t he enc od er if you jus t wa nt to o ver writ e th e c urr ent pr eset) . W hen you are r ea d y, pres s th e Store button to conf irm the opera tion.
- 19 - As you can see, the editin g operation is sim ple: T urn the enc oder to select a param eter, pres s and tur n the encoder t o change the param eter’s value, press and turn to s elect an other par ameter , press and turn to change the new param eter’s value, and so on .
- 20 - this orderin g. You could, for exam ple, set a received program change val ue of 1 t o reca ll DMV-PRO prese t #40, a pro gram change valu e of 2 to reca ll DM V-PRO pr eset #5, a nd a progr am change val ue of 3 t o a lso recall DM V-PRO prese t #5.
- 21 - Next, turn Encoder ( A) to sel ect an incom ing MIDI pr ogram change num ber that you wis h to map. T his control’s rang e is f r om 1 to 128. T urn Encod er ( B) to s et th e c or res pon di ng D MV- PRO pr eset num ber that wi ll be recalle d when t he progr am c hange num ber in LCD ( A) is receive d.
- 22 - control ler’s value l inearl y correspon ds to t he ke y, veloc ity, or aftertouc h va lue bein g pla yed. For ex am ple, if MIDI CC Num ber was s et to Not e On and Mode was set to C ontinu ous, t hen the controll er’s value would equal the k e y number pla yed.
- 23 - TUTORIAL 4: ADVANCED APPLICATIONS The Smart Encoder : The Sm art Encoder™ functions allo w you to p erf orm real-tim e task s, such as tappin g in new dela y tim es or spinning up and do wn the r otar y eff ect, b y pressing t he Ed it and Enc oder bu ttons.
- 24 - Rotary The Rotary Spin High/L ow option allows th e Encoder to toggle t he rotar y speed be tween a hi gh and low spin rate (alter nating with eac h Encod er press ). Smart Encoder Programming: Smar t Encoder oper ation is set with an eff ect’s param eters.
- 25 - Smart Encoder Functions while Editing Reverb, Delay , and Rotary Effects: Smar t Encoder functions are aut om aticall y set up to work whil e editing reverb, del ay, and rotar y effec ts.
- 26 - THE DMV-PRO’s ADJUSTABLE PARAMETERS DESCRIPTION OF ROUTINGS AND ENGINES The DMV-PRO co ntains four engi nes that can be routed in four diff erent wa ys. Our propr ietar y Dynam ic Engine Allocat ion (DE A™) techno log y ensures th at all DSP hor sepower is eff ortlessl y configure d f or your rout ing c hoice.
- 27 - Discrete 4: This routing configur es the D MV-PR O as four m ono signal process ors. Each Input f eeds its c orrespo nding O utput. However, if any Input (except #1) does not hav e a jack inserted , its input will be taken fr om the c losest prev ious input that h as a p lug inser ted.
- 28 - DESCRIPTION OF CLA SSES Each eff ect has six classes , which ar e effec t variatio ns. The c lass nam e general ly denotes the app licatio n for which the c lass was optim ized. For ex am ple, The Vocal class of rever bs is designed to en hance voice- ty p e inputs.
