Quantum Manual

Routing Display Page

To access the Routing display page press the FILTERS
button. Tap

Routing

on the touchscreen to select the Rou-

ting display page.

Here  you  see  a  graphic  overview  of  the  Quantum’s  signal
routing. You can also control the routing of the three oscil-
lators,  ring  modulators,  and  set  up  the  audio  outputs  for
the current sound.

The Graphic Routing Overview

The  central  area  of  the  display  shows  the  current  audio
signal path from the sound generation (Osc 1, 2, 3) through
the  Dual  Analog  Filters  (Filt  1  and  2),  the  Digital  Former
section  (DF),  and  the  Amplifier  (AMP),  followed  by  the
Effects section (FX 1 to 5). The audio signal finally leaves
the Quantum via the Master output and/or AUX output.

The signal path changes when one of the following para-
meters are edited:

•

Osc 1, 2, 3

: the Osc block lights up in the color of the

selected oscillator model when the corresponding

Osc

Mix

parameter is turned up. An Osc block is moved to

another signal position when the

Osc Dest

parameter

is set to

VCA

. An Osc block shows another routing when

the

Osc Dest

parameter is set to one of the

DF Filter

settings.

•

Based on the setting of the

Routing

parameter, the

Filter and DF blocks change their position within the
graphic. If Digital Former

Type

is set to

Bypass

, the DF

block is greyed out.

•

Depending on the defined audio outputs, the last FX5

output leads to

Master

,

AUX

, both outputs, or no out-

puts (you don’t really want to use that setting, believe
us).
