Engine button to enable routing changes. If you press any other button instead, the old routing will be

restored.

NOTE: Panner and Rotary are stereo effects and are not available in Discrete 4 (mono) routing.

Engine:

It should now sound like different effect algorithms are processing the audio entering the

Quadra/FX; these are the default effects for the routing that you chose. To change an

effect, you must first select its engine or engine group. If you chose Stereo Routing, there

is only one available engine group and it is automatically selected for you. To select a

different engine when using any of the other routings, turn the Encoder. All Engine LEDs

are lit and the currently selected engine or engine group is flashing. Again, to review how the engines relate to the

inputs and outputs, see the beginning of this tutorial, or page 27.

Effects:

Press the Effects button to edit the selected engine’s effect. All available

Effect and Class LEDs are lit (more on Classes below) and the currently

selected Effect LED is flashing. To select a different effect, turn the Encoder

and then press the Class button to load it. If you press any other button

instead, the old effect will be restored.

Class:

Notice that when you load an effect, the Concert Class is automatically selected for

you (its LED is flashing). Classes are effect variations and are named after the

applications they are optimized for: Vocal, Instrument, Concert, Gated, Ambient, and

Dynamic. (See page 28 for a description of all effect classes.) To change the current

class, turn the Encoder. You can immediately hear the sound differences of each

class and the LEDs of all editable parameters become lit.

Parameter:

If you wish to change the value of any of the effect’s parameters, press the

Parameter button and use the Encoder to scroll through your choices. All

available parameter LEDs remain lit, but now the currently selected

parameter is flashing and its value is shown in the Preset / Value Display.

When you have chosen the parameter that you want to edit, press the
