TUTORIAL 4: ADVANCED APPLICATION NOTES

The Smart Encoder:

The Quadra/FX’s reverb, delay, and rotary effects have certain parameters that can be triggered with a press of the

front-panel Encoder. These functions allow you to audition a reverb’s sound, tap in new delay times, infinitely repeat a

delay, or spin the rotary effect up and down. The sections below list all available Smart Encoder functions, what they

do, and the different ways to access them.

Reverb

With reverb effects, the Smart Encoder can be used to trigger a

reverb audition impulse. A reverb impulse is a

short, all-frequency burst for testing a reverb’s sound. Use it to audition the quality as well as decay time and

front-end characteristics of your reverb programs. Pressing the Encoder on this option will trigger the sound.

Delay

With delay effects, the Smart Encoder can be used to tap in a new delay time or turn on the repeat hold

function.
