Dynamic class uses the Quadra/FX’s dynamics sensing to trigger the Whammit! effect. The Threshold

range is the same as with the Vocal and Gated classes; it can be set in 1-dB increments, from 1 to 30 dB

below full-scale. Normally, when the input signal crosses below the set Threshold, the Whammit! effect

glides to the desired transposition amount (at the length of time set with Decay) and stays there until the

signal level crosses above the Threshold. Crossing below the Threshold level will again trigger the

Whammit! effect. If an r (

) precedes the Threshold setting, Whammit! is triggered with input levels above

the Threshold setting.

A Threshold setting of 

2))

 is available to disengage all dynamics sensing.
