Richly expressive pro-quality sounds

reverb, chorus, and equalizer. More than a thousand sounds using pro-quality wave data are organized into
four categories, providing unlimited creative potential.
Cutting-edge desktop studio system

you need for music production. The SD-90 is all you need to set up a cutting-edge desktop studio.
A full array of audio multi-effects
The audio interface lets you input a mic/guitar/CD or other audio source into your computer, and it also
provides audio effects that can be applied to the internal sound generator as well. A total of nine algorithms
are provided, including mastering effects for use during mixdown, as well as "surround reverb," which
supports multi-channel speaker systems, allowing you to use the effects that are most suitable for your output
needs.
Easy operation
The front panel features a large display and three rotary encoders, letting you select sounds/effects and edit
parameters easily and intuitively.
