8.3.2.7. Loading Memory Presets to Linked Units.
If you try to recall and load a stored memory (see Section 8.6) to a unit with cells linked to any other unit,
the screen shown at below will appear:
If you elect to continue, the
value your loaded memory puts
into any linked cell on the cho-
sen GRAPHI-Q will affect all
other linked values as well. If
you don’t want this to happen,
you must open the Link Table
and remove the appropriate
linking.
Loading a preset that changes a linked parametric or set-FBX filter back to an unset FBX filter will NOT load
a corresponding filter change to linked channels. Linked channel FBX or parametric filters will remain
unchanged unless your reset or manually program a change.
8.3.2.8. Resetting Parameters When Units Are Linked. (See also Section 8.4) Resetting any parameter
for any cell linked to another unit of channel will also change the value of all linked cells. For ABS LINK,
all linked cells will be reset to the default parameter values. For REL LINK, parameter values for linked cells
will be decreased by the same amount as occurs by resetting the source cell. For example, resetting digital
delay from 100 ms to the minimum value (1.38 ms) in the source cell will reduce all REL LINKED cells’ delay
times by 98.62 ms.
For GRQ-3102 and GRQ-3102S models, REL LINK parameters can be reset separately or simultaneously
for each output. Whether channels are reset separately or together (checking either one or both channel
boxes on the reset screen), the reset procedure for REL LINK will use the channel currently selected on the
main screen as the source cell. IMPORTANT: When resetting REL, MAKE SURE THE CORRECT
SOURCE IS SELECTED ON THE MAIN SOFTWARE SCREEN, if you are resetting just one output channel.
Note that FBX filters can be reset only one unit at a time. Parametric filters can be linked reset in ABS or
REL groups, but the filters of linked units must correspond in position (filter #6, for example) and be set to
Parametric in order to be reset via linking.
Resetting parameter values for linked units, or loading presets to linked units, can create some complicated
scenarios. When in doubt, remove the relevant links, then restore after resetting.
8.3.2.9. Changing EQ Scale and/or High/Low Cut Filter Slope When Linked. For ABS LINK, changing
the graphic EQ scale (from 6 to 12 dB or vice versa) will also change the scale for all linked units’ graphic
EQ settings. For REL LINK, all scales will not change when one unit’s scale is altered. Instead, all changes
made will be implemented proportionally according to scale. In other words, a change of 2 dB on a 12 dB
scale will translate to a 1 dB change on a 6 dB scale. The same rules apply to variations in high and low
cut filter slopes, which can be set to either 12 or 24 dB per octave.
8.3.2.10. Front Panel Mode and Linking. Any GRAPHI-Q under front panel control CANNOT be part of
a linked network. Any GRAPHI-Q that is linked, then changed to front panel control, will be removed from
the linked network. The unit will remain unlinked even if remote control is restored. You must use the Link
Table to restore linking to any unit after it is placed in front panel control and then returned to remote control.
8.3.2.11. Link Table Memory. The setup information for your link table is stored in an .exe file as part of
the Remote Software, and is independent of the memory storage of parameters, etc., which are stored in
each individual GRAPHI-Q. Therefore, if you change your serial network setup by reconfiguring GRAPHI-
Qs, changing the number of units, etc., your Link Table setup may no longer apply. For example, if you
remove the middle unit in a 3-unit serial chain with Linking enabled, then reboot with only two units in your
serial chain, the Link setup for the “missing” second unit will be applied to the former third (now second) unit.
As a precaution, a warning screen will appear at the next software startup whenever the number or
arrangement of linked units has changed.
