Overview: Chapter 4

Direct Function Selection

When editing a Mix, Program or a Program’s Effects, the DIRECT SELECT buttons (located next to the large VOLUME knob) provide direct selection of edit Functions. This means you can get to the Function you want to edit fast. The Functions available for direct selection are printed on the front panel adjacent to each button. By pressing some of the buttons repeatedly, you can select other Functions related to the main Function for that button. Example: By pressing DIRECT SELECT [7] when in Program Edit Mode, the Filter Function is selected. Press it a second time, and the FLFO is selected; press it a third time and the FENV is selected.

The Direct Select Functions are shown in the table below.

Editing Program Parameters

Here is an example of how to use the QuadraSynth Plus’s editing features to change Program parameters. Feel free to make changes and twist dials; these will not be made permanent unless you store the Program (described later).

¿Press the [PROGRAM] button. This selects Program Play Mode.

¡Select a Program using the methods described on page 14. The currently selected Program will appear in the upper right of the display.

¬Press the [SELECT] button.

Pressing this button toggles between Program Edit mode and Effects Edit mode. The display’s editing status line will indicate either “Editing: Program” or “Editing: Effect.” To change edit status, press the [SELECT] button again. For now, select “Editing: Program.”

Select the desired function by using the FUNCTION [] and [] buttons to step through the various Function in the display (Assign Voice, Level, Effect Level, Pitch, Filter, Amp, etc.). Alternatively, you can use the DIRECT SELECT buttons (located on the far left of the front panel) to directly select a Function.
