TSE™ Audio Level Meters
These meters monitor the level of Tape Saturation Emulation. Refer to Type IV™ in Section 3.
LCD Display
The large LCD display shows the program, curve, digital meters, parameters, and modules
selected by the function buttons and the DATA WHEEL.
Data Wheel / Selector
The DATA WHEEL changes selected parameters, programs, etc. Pushing the DATA WHEEL
moves the cursor from parameter to parameter.
Function Buttons
The function buttons allow access to the programs, modules, utilities, and parameters of the
QUANTUM.
Power Switch
Turns the QUANTUM on and off.
The Curve Window
After you have chosen a program, you may want to change some of the parameters to meet
your specific needs. One of the most useful tools available on the QUANTUM for setting up a
proper compression curve is the curve window. In the curve window you can see the com-
bined effects of dynamics-related parameters expressed in a graphical format. The figure below
shows the different parts of the curve window you will see as you edit the gate, compressor,
and limiter functions of the QUANTUM.
