ABOUT MODULES AND THE EFFECT CHARTS
The Studio Quad's diverse selection of effect Modules allows you to
achieve nearly endless combinations of effects and routings. To
accomplish that goal, we've supplied you with several different mod-
ule types in an effects configuration. The processing resources are
divided one of four ways. Fig. 3-1 below uses pies to represent the
possible resource division combination
Figure 3-1 The Resource Pies
Each section of the pies represents a different size Module in an
effects configuration. In the diagram, there are three different slice
sizes: quarter, half, and whole. Likewise, the Module sizes available in
the Studio Quad are Quarter (module type =
4th
), Half (module
type =
HLF
), and Whole (module type =
FUL
), . This simply means
that FUL module type offers effects with more flexibility and power
than the HLF modules, and so on. All sizes of FX Modules feature very
high quality effects, so you don’t have to worry if you need to divide
the Studio Quad pie four ways. For a complete list of these FX Types
please see pg. 40. For a complete list of effect configurations please
see pg. 41.
Effect configuration selection and assignment of effect Modules was
discussed on pg. 12.
There are three basic types of FX Modules: Mono, Dual, and Stereo.
Fig 3-2 illustrates what the signals do as they enter the Module.
Although all three Modules are shown with stereo inputs, they can still
be used with a mono source (such as input one of the Studio Quad).
The mono source would just be routed to both of the Module’s inputs.
Notice how the Dual FX Module maintains stereo compatibility while
the mono FX Module always sums the signals together.
