Roel...Thanks for the info on the noise. I would agree 'Lexicon' quality effects would be nice on the SD1. I think adjusting the effects can improve sound quality in a few other areas also. I just realized last night I could adjust the parameter settings in the main effect(Hall1,Hall2,Studio,Etc.)and store them to a User setting. This gives me just what I want for Vocals and RH sounds for each Block Reg./Style I use. Right now, with only the Prelim. Manual, it is a little frustrating at times to get to where you want to go! Sometimes it is fun to find things out on your own!!
