Parameter button again. All Parameter LEDs go out except for the one that was flashing (the one you
selected). Turning the Encoder will now change the parameter’s value, as can be seen in the Preset / Value
Display.
If you wish to change the value of another parameter, press the Parameter button twice; the first press returns
the unit to Preset mode and the second press puts the unit back in Parameter Edit mode (just like in the
previous paragraph). If you wish to change routing, engine, effect, or class, simply press their corresponding
buttons and turn the Encoder as before.
Store:
At this point, you may wish to store your changes. First, press the Store button. All front
panel lights will go out except for the Preset / Value Display, which is flashing the current preset number.
Next, use the Encoder to select the preset number that you want to overwrite. You don’t have to turn the
Encoder to overwrite the current preset. When you are ready, press the Store button again to confirm the
operation. If you press any button other than Store, the save command will be aborted. After a preset is
stored, the Display reads “
(
” and the Quadra/FX goes to Preset mode, where turning the Encoder
changes presets.
If you don’t wish to save your edits, you can always return to Preset mode by pressing the button underneath
the field that you are currently editing. If you do this, however, the changes that you have just made will not be
permanently stored in memory (although you will still hear them until the preset is changed).
IMPORTANT: At any time while editing, you can press Bypass to either engage or disengage bypass for the
current engine (you’ll see
-,
in the Display). You can even save presets with bypassed engines. Bypass
can also be pressed in Preset mode ( -, in the Display), and all engines will become bypassed,
regardless of which ones were already in this state.
TUTORIAL 2: JUST EDITING
Editing an existing preset is very similar to creating a preset from scratch, except that you do not change the
routing. Although both procedures are similar, this section illustrates a few minor points and shows an even
easier way to perform both operations.
NOTE: When routings are changed, the Quadra/FX reconfigures its internal architecture and loads in default
effects. The preset’s former effects, class, and parameter values are all replaced. If you just want to tweak
some values of an existing preset, be sure not to change routings.
From Preset mode, use the Encoder to find a preset that you would like to modify. Notice all of the front-panel
information that is displayed when you are auditioning presets. On the right side, the Preset / Value Display
shows the current preset number and just to the left of the Display, the Smart Meter reacts to the input level of
