Overview: Chapter 4
Resetting a Parameter Value
It’s often convenient while editing to return a parameter to its default setting (usually, but not always, 0). This normally involves turning a Quad Knob or repeatedly pressing the VALUE [¬] and [‾] buttons, but here’s a quicker way:
To reset a parameter to its default setting:
¿Select the parameter you wish to reset using the methods described earlier.
¡Simultaneously press both the VALUE [¬] and [‾] buttons.
Comparing Edited and Stored Versions
When you edit a Program or Mix, you are actually editing a copy which is in a temporary edit buffer. Therefore, to retain the results of your edit, you must save it to a particular memory location (see the next section on Storing). If you change memory locations before saving, the buffer will be replaced and your edits lost.
Because the original Program/Mix remains undisturbed, you can compare the edited version to the original by using the Compare function. You can only select Compare mode when either Mix Edit, Program Edit or Effects Edit is selected, and the word “EDITED” appears in the display below either “MIX,” “PROG” or “EFFECT.”
¿Press [COMPARE].
The word “COMPARE” will appear in the display, while the word “EDITED” will disappear.
¡Press [COMPARE] again to exit Compare mode and return to the edited
version.
The word “COMPARE” will disappear from the display, and the word “EDITED” will reappear. Pressing [MIX], [PROGRAM], [GLOBAL], [STORE] or the MIX/PROGRAM SELECT
J
While Compare mode is selected, you can move around to view the various parameters, but you will not be able to edit anything. This is because you are seeing what is in memory, not what is in the edit buffer.
Preset Memory and User Memory
The QuadraSynth Plus has two types of memory banks for Mixes and Programs: Preset and User. The Preset banks, of which there are four, are stored in ROM (Read Only Memory), and therefore cannot be altered. However, the User bank, of which there is 1, is stored in RAM (Random Access Memory). Anytime you want to keep an edited version of a Mix or Program, you will store it into the User bank or onto a RAM Card. If you want to permanently change a Mix or Program that is in the Preset bank, you can store the edited version into the User bank (in either the same number location or a different number location).
