Overview
QuadraSynth Reference Manual 35
¥Page number strip. Some functions have too many options to fit on a single
screen. These functions use multiple screens, with each screen considered a page.
This strip shows which page is selected by underlining the page number. The
PAGE [¬] and [ ®] buttons allow you to select a page.
¥Name strip. When in Mix mode, the name of the currently selected Mix will
appear here. Likewise, when in Program mode, the name of the currently
selected Program will appear here. In any Edit mode or Store mode, the name of
the currently selected parameter will appear here indicating it is selected for
editing using the VALUE [-] and [¯] buttons.
¥Quad Knob/Button Label strip. This line is used to show the labels of the bar
graph meters, which determine the functions of the four Quad Knobs and
Buttons. These labels change depending on which function and page is currently
selected. The labels are abbreviations of the parameters; the complete name (and
value) of a selected parameter will appear in the Name strip.
¥Quad Knob bar graph meters. When a Quad Knob controls a functionÕs
parameter, an associated bar graph appears which reflects the KnobÕs setting.
Note: Not all four Quad Knobs are active in all pages.
MIDI Buttons
The MIDI [¬] and [®] buttons serve two purposes. In Program mode, they select the
basic MIDI channel the QuadraSynth will receive and transmit MIDI messages on. In
Mix mode, they are used to select one of the 16 Programs for viewing and editing.
Quad Knob Editing
The Quad Knobs have two editing modes: Immediate and Pass-thru. When using the
Quad Knobs to adjust parameter values, you may prefer using one mode over the
other. When set to Immediate, parameter values jump immediately to the Quad
KnobÕs exact position the moment it is moved. When set to Pass-thru, the Quad Knob
must be turned beyond the parameterÕs current setting before it becomes ÒliveÓ and
begins adjusting the parameterÕs value.
The editing mode is set in Global Edit mode, Page 2, using Quad Knob [3]. For more
information about selecting the Quad KnobsÕ editing mode, see Chapter 8.
Parameter Editing
All parameter editing involves the same general procedure, with minor variations:
➀Select the type of parameters you want to edit with the corresponding button:
[MIX], [PROGRAM], or [GLOBAL ].
Mix parameters edit a Mix. Program parameters edit a Program. Effects parameters can
be edited from within a Mix or a Program (see below). Global parameters edit general
characteristics that affect the entire instrument.
➁Select an Edit Mode with the [SELECT] button.
Example: If you pressed [PROGRAM], the [SELECT] button switches between two
groups of functionsÑone for editing the ProgramÕs sound (Program Edit mode), and the
other for editing the associated Effect (Effects Edit mode). If youÕre editing a Mix, the
