Chapter 4 - Making Your Own Programs
Changing Effect Types
If you already have defined a Block and assigned its routings, you can still change its Function and Effect Type. Usually, this doesnÕt disturb anything else. However, if the Block was defined as a mono effect and you change it to a stereo effect, the Q20 will make the necessary changes in routings, and
HereÕs an example: LetÕs say you have a Mono Delay Block that has its mono output
(M)routed to the R OUT. Now you go into Type mode and change it to a Stereo Delay. As soon as you press the [VALUE/ENTER] button and make the change, the display momentarily reads:
CONVERTING MONO ROUTES TO STEREO
Now, the Block has three outputs: L (left), R (right), and M (mono). In this case, the Q20 automatically assigned the R output of the Delay to the R OUT. Since the M output of the Delay Block had originally gone to the R OUT, the Q20 assumed you wanted to continue having the Block go to this output. So, logically, it routed the BlockÕs new R output to the R OUT.
LetÕs say we did the opposite; i.e., change a stereo effect into mono. The exact opposite would happen. Once we changed the stereo effect into a mono effect type, the display would momentarily read:
CONVERTING STEREO ROUTES TO MONO
In this case, if only one of the effects outputs had been routed to one of the Q20Õs OUTS, it would be rerouted to come from the new mono BlockÕs M output. If both the Left and Right outputs of the stereo Block were connected to the L/R OUT, then the mono effectÕs M out would now be connected to both the L OUT and R OUT.
