SOFTWARE OPERATIONS

This section explains how signals are routed, monitored, and controlled in the QUANTUM. Changes that are made to the QUANTUM’s dynamic processing can be monitored visually and aurally at several different points in the chain. Storing, and organizing user and factory setups in task specific libraries is also covered in this section. By following the outlined steps you will quickly understand the usage and benefits of the QUANTUM’s storage system.

3.1 FX Chains

The following charts show the signal flow through the QUANTUM’s FX chains. Note that the location of the parametric EQ (PEQ) changes according to Pre/Post settings.

Chain Type: Stereo Multi Band

PEQ may be Pre or Post Dynamics
