SECTION 2 - BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE STUDIO QUAD
GETTING AROUND THE OPERATING SYSTEM
The menu structure of the Studio Quad has been specially designed
to be easy to use. The display shows the information you need, but to
make things even easier for you, illumination in the front panel buttons
offers additional operating information.
The front panel buttons give you information in one of two ways:
1 - If the button is DIMLY lit, its function is INACTIVE. Pressing a
dimly lit button causes it to light brightly and its function
becomes the active item in the display. If the DIMLY lit button
doesn’t light after you press it, the button is unavailable.
2 - If the button is BRIGHTLY lit, its function is ACTIVE. Pressing
an active button (other than the <PROGRAM> button) rese-
lects the already active item in the display.
PROGRAM MODE
- Program mode allows you to scroll through the
Factory and User Programs using the Data Wheel. When the Studio
Quad is turned on, it sets itself to Program mode. Program mode is
active when the <PROGRAM> button is bright and a Program name is
present on the Information line (top line) of the display. You can toggle
between Factory or User Programs by pressing the <PROGRAM> but-
ton when it is brightly lit. The FACTORY PRG or USER PRG indicator
will light in the display according to which bank is selected. In this
mode, all other buttons on the front panel are dim or off.
To select a Program, do the following:
• Make sure Program mode is selected. If the <PROGRAM> but-
ton is dim, press <PROGRAM> once to return to Program mode.
• Use the <PROGRAM> button to select the Program bank
(Factory or User). Each successive press of the <PROGRAM>
button toggles between the Factory and User bank of Programs.
• Using the Data wheel, scroll to the Program you want to hear.
The selected program is immediately autoloaded. The AutoLoad fea-
ture can be turned off, allowing you to view a program before actually
loading it. See pg. 37 for further details.
FX EDIT MODE
- This mode allows you to edit FX Modules, the
Modifier Module, the Input Mode Module, and the Output Mode
Module of your Programs. Use the <FX Edit> button to enter the FX
Edit mode and then to select the next module for editing. A helpful
hint, if you look at the Effect Routing Matrix while you press the FX Edit
button, the currently selected module will flash. The Studio Quad uses
Pages to navigate within an effect. A Page is a group of up to four
