To tap in a new delay time, press the Encoder at the desired tempo. The number of times that you press
doesn't matter; the Quadra/FX takes the average tempo. As you are tapping, you will hear the new delay time
and see its value in the Display. Repeat this process as often as necessary.
Repeat Hold infinitely loops the delayed sound. Play a phrase and then press the Encoder. The delayed
sound will repeat, at the rate of the delay time, until you press the Encoder again. When Repeat Hold is
activated, no other sound is allowed to go into the delay, so you can solo over the repeated phrase without
cluttering it up.
Rotary
The Rotary Spin High/Low option allows the Encoder to toggle the rotary speed between a high and low spin
rate (alternating with each Encoder press).

SMART ENCODER USE:

To use the Smart Encoder from Preset mode, select a preset that uses reverb, delay, or rotary
effects. Push and hold the Bypass button, press the Encoder, and then release both buttons. You
are now in Smart Encoder mode. Turn the Encoder to scroll through each engine (or engine group)
and its associated Smart Encoder function(s). Notice that the preset's Routing and current Engine
LEDs are lit, along with two Parameter LEDs. After you have viewed the Smart Encoder function(s) for one
engine, turn the encoder further to access the next engine's available function(s). Repeat as necessary for all
of the engines or engine groups. If an engine contains an effect that doesn't make use of a Smart Encoder
function, it will be skipped as the Encoder is turned (the engine LED won't light).
Once you have stopped on the Smart Encoder function that you want to use, simply press the Encoder to
trigger its action. You can always switch "on the fly" to other Smart Encoder functions; just turn the Encoder to
select a different engine or function and then press the Encoder to trigger it. Repeat as often as necessary.
To switch back to Preset mode, press any of the front-panel buttons except Power and Store.

Using a Default Smart Encoder Function in Preset Mode:

While using Smart Encoder functions, you can select one of them to work whenever the Encoder is
pressed in Preset mode (without having to enter Smart Encoder mode). Just save the preset (by
pressing Store twice) after the desired Smart Encoder function is in view and it will become the
preset's default function. Now whenever the preset is loaded, pressing the Encoder will automatically
