Chapter 3 - Overview

Rec Trigger

The Rec Trigger parameter (Parameter Mode, Page 5) determines what will trigger the recording of audio into the Sample Buffer.

¥When set to ENTER, recording will only be triggered by pressing the [VALUE/ENTER] button while the Rec parameter is selected. However, even when another trigger type is selected, you will always be able to trigger recording using the [VALUE/ENTER] button in this manner.

¥When set to AUDIO LEFT, AUDIO RIGHT or AUDIO LEFT & RIGHT, recording will be triggered whenever an audio level greater than -12 dB is present at either the analog or digital inputs, depending on which is selected as the Input Audio Source.

¥When set to MIDI NOTE #, recording will be triggered by an incoming MIDI note message, as determined by the Note # parameter (see below).

¥When set to either ADVANCE FOOTSWITCH or BYPASS FOOTSWITCH, the selected footswitch will not perform its normal function (that of advancing to the next Program or bypassing effects, respectively). Instead, recording will be triggered when the selected footswitch is pressed.

Note: If the Play Trigger and Rec Trigger parameters are set to the same source, that trigger source will trigger recording only when the Sample Buffer is empty. At all other times, it will trigger playback of the Sample Buffer. Example: When using the same footswitch to trigger both recording and playback, the first time you press the footswitch, recording will begin; thereafter, pressing the footswitch will only playback the Sample Buffer, until the Sample Buffer is cleared.

Note #

The Note # parameter (Parameter Mode, Page 6) determines which MIDI note message will trigger either recording or playback of the Sample Buffer, if either the Play Trigger or Rec Trigger is set to MIDI NOTE # (see above). This parameter can be set to a specific note number from 0 (C-2) to 127 (A8) or to ALL, in which case any MIDI note message will trigger playback of the Sample Buffer.

Note: The MIDI note messages must be received on the same MIDI channel that the Q20 is set to (MIDI Mode, Page 1).

Rec Audio

The Rec Audio parameter (Parameter Mode, Page 6) determines whether or not the audio being recorded into the Sample Buffer will be routed to the audio outputs. This can be set to either ON or MUTE.

¥When set to ON, the audio being fed to the Sampler effect will be heard at the QuadraVerb 2Õs outputs while recording is taking place.

¥When set to MUTE, the audio being fed to the Sampler effect will not be heard at the outputs. This means you can sample audio without hearing it until you are ready to trigger the Sample Buffer.
