Opera is a powerful Professional Digital Audio Effects Processor, that employs the use of 256 presets, 128 resident in the ROM (Read Only Memory) and 128 User Programmable presets in a RAM (Random Access Memory).

Extended information

The numbered presets can easily be recalled by means of the Data Wheel that scrolls backwards and forwards through the numbers.
The numbers that appear on the display identify three families of effects; REVERB, DELAY and MODULATION.
The REVERB effects comprise algorithms for 'Ambient', 'Room', 'Hall', 'Plate' and 'Reverse', while those for 'DELAY' produce 'Stereo', 'Ping Pong' and 'Multi' effects. The MODULATION family has algorithms for 'Chorus', 'Flange', 'Tremolo' and 'Leslie'.
The MIDI implementation enables the parameters of the OPERA module to be modified in Real Time by means of the Exclusive System.
Furthermore the OPERA processor includes an RS-232 Serial Interface for computers, which enables the connection of a Personal Computer both for the total editing and for the uploading of new algorithms, as well as the updating of both of the presets and the operational software.
For this reason, the OPERA will never become obsolete, but will maintain its value throughout the years.
Working with a computer, the user can modify, sum and directly intervene on the algorithms, thereby creating really original and personal effects.
A full implementation of controls and display instruments enable intervention on all the parameters and monitoring of the signals in any phase of the elaboration process.
