TUTORIAL 1: CREATING FROM SCRATCH
Routing:
Start from Preset mode and turn the Encoder to select any preset. Make sure that you have chosen a preset
with a routing that can be monitored in your setup, otherwise, you will not hear the changes that you are
making.
Press the Routing button and turn the Encoder to select one of the four routing choices: Discrete 4, Twin
Stereo, Cascade, or Stereo. You will notice that all Routing LEDs are lit and the currently selected one is
flashing. The Preset / Value Display is blank. Also, notice that all or most Effect LEDs are lit. This shows you
the available effects for each routing. Select a new routing and press the Engine button. You must press the
By editing any preset's routing, you are essentially building a new preset from scratch.
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.
Cascade routing also has two processors with two linked
engines, but the output of the first processor is fed into
the second one. In this routing, you have two stacked,
true-stereo effects. Only Inputs and Outputs #1 and #2
are used. Engines #1 and #2 are linked and control the
first processor, and Engines #3 and #4 are linked and
control the second processor.
Stereo routing is the most powerful routing type. It uses all
four engines in an ultra-stereo group with enormous
horsepower. Only Inputs and Outputs #1 and #2 are used, and
all four engines are linked into one powerful processor.
