This unit is a completely independent two channel Multi Effect Processor that employs the A. S. P.+ (Fostex Advanced Signal Processing Technology), which is newly developed by Fostex. It provides high quality ambient effects almost equivalent to a professional effect processor. In addition to the typical Reverbs, it offers not only various practical algorithms such as Delay, Chorus, Flanger and Pitch Bend, but some combinations of these are also available, e.g., Delay+Reverb. Also, the DE-10 offers three operation modes as "Dual Mode", "Single 1 Mode" and "Single 2 Mode." The "Dual Mode" works twice as much as an independent single channel Multi Effect Processor, which configures as 1 Input - 2 Output times two. The "Single (1 and 2) Mode" works as a 2 Input 2 Output Multi Effect Processor. You can use the unit by connecting it to the AUX Send and AUX Return of an Audio Mixer for a recording. Also you can directly connect the output from your musical instruments (Line Level only) to the unit so that it will be a useful aid in your live performance. To fully exploit all of its many useful features and functions, we recommend you read this manual first before you start using the DE-10.

Attempting to unplug it by pulling on the power cable may damage the wiring. · It is dangerous to use any power cable that is cut or frayed. If the power cable is damaged, immediately stop using it, and have it repaired. · Do not plug in or unplug the power plug with wet hands. Doing so may result in dangerous electric shock. · Do not open the unit or touch any parts in side. Doing so may result in a dangerous electric shock, and could damage the unit. · Do not let water or other liquids, flammable materials, or metal objects such as pins get in side the unit. These things may cause electrical shock or short circuit the DE-10, and damage it. If the DE-10 should become wet, unplug the power cable from the AC outlet, and contact your authorized service station. · Effects in SINGLE 1 mode ...........................................8 L.

(Fostex Advanced Signal Processing Technology*), as well as simulations of microphones/amplifiers with overwhelming reality by employing the newly developed "A.S.P. +". *A. S. P. (Fostex Advanced Signal Processing Technology) The A. S. P. is an exclusive new digital effect processing technology designed by Fostex. This method extracts maximum efficiency from the limited DSP power. It achieves an overwhelmingly high density Early Reflection sound and wonderfully smooth High Dump response through the H. F. A. (Harmonic Feedback Algorithm). Also, it carries out an elaborate reverb simulation with clear sounds through the H. D. L. P. (Hi-Density Logarithmic Processing), which eliminates the mutual interference between the numerous integrated delay modules and reduce the impurity and grit of the sound. *H. F. A. (Harmonic Feedback Algorithm) There is one of indispensable elements in the natural echo called "Early Reflection sound", which is usually sacrificed in commercial reverb products in order to reduce costs. (In practice, the Early Reflection sound means the very first reverberated sound that bounces back from walls, floors and ceilings of concert halls). The entire reverb sound quality depends on this Early Reflection sound and how closely it can resemble the real echo. The H. F. A. is an algorithm that enables the effect unit to reproduce a clear and natural Early Reflection sound by applying an ideal harmonic feedback to each delay module. *H. D. L. P. (Hi-Density Logarithmic Processing) The reverb sounds consist ...
