Sound Parameter

Quantum Manual
maximum setting of
100%
the pure effect signal will be
heard.
Amount
Determines the amount of saturation that is added to the
signal. If set to
0.00%
, no saturation will be added or, in
other words, the signal will remain clean. Lower values
will add some harmonics to the signal, resulting in a warm
character. Increasing the value will bring in more and
more distortion, suitable for harder leads and effects.
Gain
Working with
Drive
mostly affects the level of the output
signal. Use
Gain
to adjust the overall gain to your needs.
Type
Determines the character of the drive. The following drive
curves are available:
•
PNP
generates a distortion based on a bipolar tran-
sistor.
•
Tube
simulates the asymmetric distortion of a tube
circuit.
•
PickUp
simulates an electrostatic pickup. This dri-
ve type sounds very interesting when the audio
signal level is modulated.
•
Diode
generates a typical diode distortion.
•
Crunch
is a sinusoidal waveshaper. It generates
FM-like sounds that can be extremely distorted.
•
Cuff
is a distortion inspired by a legendary guitar
effect pedal from the early 1970s.
Tap on the corresponding effect parameter to open a pop-
up menu for further settings (not all settings are available
for all effect parameters):
•
Normal
: parameter change is about 1%.
•
Fine
: parameter change is about 0.1%.
•
Super Fine
: parameter change is about 0.01%.
•
Set Default
: sets the parameter to its default value.
•
Set Last Loaded
: resets the parameter to the last
loaded value from the current sound patch.
•
Modulations
: opens the
Mod
menu to sets up a modu-
lation for this parameter. More information can be
found in ‘The Modulation Mode’ chapter.
•
MIDI Learn CC
: activates MIDI Learn, which maps an
incoming MIDI control change to this parameter.
