The Yamaha REV7 is a good product but compare it to the Yamaha SPX90. The SPX90 lists for $699. and is the best bang for the buck of any effects processor. The SPX90 has Reverb, Early reflection, Delay, Echo, Modulation, Auto Pan, Vibrato, Freeze (half second sampling), ADSR gate, Compression and Parametric Equilization, Pitch change. There are 30 Preset programs and 60 user definable programs. Single channel in, Stereo out. Preset programs include stereo flange, chorus, Reverb HALL, ROOM, PLATE etc... Optional Remote and footswitch. It includes MIDI. 31.25 kHZ A/D D/A sampling rate 16 bit linear 20 Hz to 12 kHz There are some drawbacks; 12 kHz is a bit low. MIDI effects only program change. Note on/off is recognized for pitch change and freeze (sampling to change pitch). No dynamic MIDI controler effects. Also only one program can be used at a time no combining phase and echo. Compared with the Lexicon PCM 70 which has extensive MIDI implementation which can change many of the parameters real time ( ie room size ). The PCM 70 also combines in one program, early reflections with reverb for a realistic audio space. But the list on the PCM 70 is $2000. Buy two SPX90's for that price. The SPX90 is comming out this month.
