Editing Effects
QuadraSynth Reference Manual 91
While routing sounds into the effects processor, the word ÒCLIPÓ will temporarily
appear in the display if the input to the effects is being overloaded. If this should
occur, try reducing the Input Levels for each of the effects devices in the current
configuration, and (if necessary) reduce the Effects Levels in the Mix/Program.
Editing Effects
The Effects Patches themselves are not edited in Program Edit or Mix Edit mode, but
(could you guess it?) Effects Edit mode. You can enter Effects Edit mode by pressing
the [SELECT] button until the display looks something like this:
PROG EFFECT
PRESET
EDITING: 1 EFFECT
PITCH MOD NAME
CONFIG REVERB DELAY MIX
PAGE: 1 2
Stereo Chorus
TYPE
PRESET
MIDI
CHAN
MIX
PRESET
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
The basic method of navigating through the displays in Effects Edit mode is similar
to that in Program Edit and Mix Edit modes.
¥ The FUNCTION [
¬
] and [
®
] buttons are used to select a function (Pitch, Mod,
Name, Configuration, Reverb, Delay and Mix).
¥ If a function has more than one page, the display will indicate the number of
pages available in the bottom left corner. Use the PAGE [
¬
] and [
®
] buttons to
scroll through a functionÕs pages.
¥ Use the [EDIT 1] button to select which of the four effect sends you want to edit
(the [EDIT 4] button will not let you edit multiple sends, but rather will switch
the display back to Program Edit mode and enable Edit 4 mode).
The important thing to understand is the hierarchy of the displays. Think of it as a
three dimensional game of Chess, where you can move among three different axes.
Each function has 1 or more pages. But, the number of pages a function has available
will differ when another effect send is selected (using the [EDIT 1] button). For
example, if you are using Configuration #1 and trying to edit the Reverb parameters,
you would need to have effect send 1 selected, because thatÕs where the Reverb is
located. So, you not only have to be aware of how to select a function and a page, but
how to select the effect send as well.
Not all effects are available in each Configuration. For example, if you were to select
the Pitch function on effect send 4 in Configuration #1, the display would read,
Ò(NOT IN THIS CONFIG).Ó This is because a Pitch module is available on sends 1, 2
and 3 in Configuration #1, but not on send 4Ñas you can see in the chart on page 90.
