SELECTING FX TYPES AND DEFAULTS
The Studio Quad has made custom digital signal processing easier
than ever by giving you access to a complete library of professionally
developed effects settings. Page one of every FX Module allows you to:
1) Bypass that effect module
2) Select an effect Type (Chorus, Reverb, Delay, etc.)
3) Select a Default for the selected effect Type
The Default parameter allows you to select one of several effect set-
tings stored in the Studio Quad's library. For example, there are 10
Dual Chorus defaults to choose from. All Factory Programs use these
Default settings. So, if you like the Chorus that is being used in
Factory Program 69, simply use the <4> button and the Data Wheel to
recall the default (which happens to be A2-Shallow) in your new pro-
gram. This eliminates the need to copy all those parameters from one
location to the other. It also gives you several starting places so you
can get as close as possible to the custom sound you are trying to
create. Once you edit one of the parameters in the FX Module, the
default name is replaced with the word "Custom". This means that a
default setting has been customized or changed by real-time
Modifiers for that program.
NOTE: There are two Banks available for the defaults, Bank A and
Bank B. Bank A contains the dry signal for typical in-line applications.
Bank B does not contain the dry signal, and boosts the effect level so
it can be used with a mixing console's effect loops . EQ, Panner,
Noise Gate, and Tremolo do not contain Dry level controls and there-
fore do not have a bank B available.
MODIFYING FX MODULE PARAMETERS EXAMPLE
Let's modify an effect Parameter. Factory Program 40 uses a quad
delay with a delay time of 500 milliseconds. The tap percentages are
set to DlyA = 25%, Dly B =50%, Dly C = 75%, and DLY D = 100%,
which gives you evenly spaced delay taps. But suppose they're too
slow to fit the tempo of a piece of music you're composing. With most
effects units, you'd have to recalculate each delay tap individually, but
