Section Eight: Storing & Recalling GRQ Presets
8.6.1.2. Summary of Stored Preset Protocols. To summarize the control and indicator protocols of the
GRAPHI-Q:
1.
Whenever Preset 1 is selected, the front panel settings will be absolute indicators of parameter settings,
and manual adjustments will be implemented immediately. The Remote Control screens will display these
manual adjustments, but remote control will be disabled. The Curve Display on your monitor will indicate
“Preset #1 - Front Panel in Control”.
2.
Any adjustments made manually from the front panel when Preset 1 is loaded may be stored and named
in any Preset from #2 to #66.
3.
Presets 2 through 66 disable front panel control, in favor of Remote Control. All settings may be adjusted
using the Remote Control software only. Updated or altered settings may be stored (using the same
or a new name) in any location from #2 to #66.
4.
For Presets 2 through 66, settings made by the Remote Control will be reflected by some but not all
front panel settings (on the actual GRAPHI-Q unit), but all WILL be displayed on the Remote Control
screens. Adjusting the GRAPHI-Q front panel settings will NOT affect the audio signal, nor will the
Remote Control screens reflect these settings.
5.
Any preset may be stored or loaded at any time by opening the Stored Presets screen, selecting the
desired row, and clicking the SAVE or LOAD buttons at the screen’s bottom. Changing programs can
be done at any time, in the middle of an audio program if needed, PROVIDED THERE IS NOT A BIG
DIFFERENCE IN DELAY SETTINGS FROM ONE MEMORY TO THE NEXT. Loading a new preset
with a different delay setting will cause a temporary pitch shift in the audio program if the change is made
during program.
6.
An X will appear to indicate last saved and last loaded presets. Clicking in the program name region
will allow you to type in any name for your memory, up to 14 characters long. The number of the last
saved and loaded presets will appear at the bottom of the main Remote Control screen.
7.
The controlling interface (front panel or remote) will be indicated at the lower right of the main Remote
Control screen at all times.
8.
See Section 6.7 for information about changing default values for front panel operation for parameters
that are not accessible without Remote Control.
8.6.1.3. Saving GRAPHI-Q files externally. Use the File Menu at the top left of the GRAPHI-Q main screen
for access to storage and recall of files to media (such as the computer hard drive, floppy disc, ZIP cartridge,
etc.) external to the GRAPHI-Q. You may save and load such memories either as individual stored presets
(Save Current Preset; Load Current Preset), or you can save and load up to 70 memories (65 user-defined,
3 Snapshots, front panel, and default setting) as one entire “system file,” using the “Save Entire Set of
Presets” and “Load Entire Set of Presets” commands from the File Menu. When saving to a location outside
the GRAPHI-Q itself, you’ll need to name the file or system file, and choose a storage location. The suffix
“.grq” will be added to single program files, and the suffix “.gpd” will indicate system files. Note that saving
or loading an entire system file may take a few minutes. You can track progress in loading/saving by
observing the progress bar in the lower left part of your screen.
8.6.2. Contact Closure Switch Recall
By wiring and connecting a contact closure switch to the rear panel of your GRAPHI-Q (using the
accompanying Euro-block connector), and assigning presets to switch positions using the GRQ Remote
Software, you can create up to 127 different recallable configurations that can be loaded from internal
GRAPHI-Q memory without a Remote Control interface. (Note: there are more preset locations than the
GRAPHI-Q memory can hold, so some of these switch positions will have to load redundant presets).
8.6.2.1. Contact Closure Switch Wiring Switch wiring requires an 8-conductor cable. Attach these 8
conductors to the 8-pin Euro or Phoenix block connector included with your purchase of the GRAPHI-Q. This
connector plugs into its mate in the back of the GRAPHI-Q chassis. The far left pin (as you look from the
back) of the connection is the ground (common). The other end of the cable must be wired such that switch
position one grounds pin one, position two grounds pin two, etc. Different combinations of shorted
connections will provide up to 127 different recallable combinations.
