SECTION 2 - BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE STUDIO QUAD 4
GETTING AROUND THE OPERATING SYSTEM
The menu structure of the Quad 4 has been specially designed to be easy to use. The display shows the information
you need, but to make things even easier for you, illumination of the front panel buttons offers additional operating
information.
The front panel buttons give you information in one of two ways:
1) If the button is DIMLY lit, its function is INACTIVE. Pressing a dimly lit button causes it to light brightly and
its function becomes the active item in the display. If the DIMLY lit button doesn't light after you press it,
the button is unavailable.
2) If the button is BRIGHTLY lit, its function is ACTIVE. Pressing an active button (other than the <Program>
button) reselects the already active item in the display.
PROGRAM MODE
<Data> wheel. When the Quad 4 is turned on, it sets itself to Program mode. Program mode is active when the
<Program> button is lit and a Program name is present on the Information line (top line) of the display. You can
toggle between Factory or User Programs by pressing the <Program> button when it is lit. The FACTORY PRG
or USER PRG indicator will be displayed according to which bank is selected. In this mode, all other buttons on the
front panel are dim or off.
To select a Program, do the following:
1. Make sure Program mode is selected. If the <Program> button is dim, press the <Program> button once
to return to Program mode.
2. Use the <Program> button to select the Program bank (Factory or User). Each successive press of the
<Program> button toggles between the Factory and User bank of Programs.
3. Using the <Data> wheel, scroll to the Program you want to hear.
The selected program is immediately autoloaded. The AutoLoad feature can be turned off, allowing you to view a
program before actually loading it. See pg. 33 for further details.
FX EDIT MODE - This mode allows you to edit:
1) FX modules,
2) the Modifier module,
3) select effect Configurations,
4) the Input mode module, and
5) the Output mode module of your Programs.
Use the <FX Edit> button to enter the FX Edit mode and then to select the next module for editing.
HINT: If you look at the Effect Routing Matrix once you press the FX Edit button until the currently selected
module flashes. The Quad 4 uses Pages to navigate within an effect. A Page is a group of up to four effect para-
meters that appear on the screen at one time. To move through the Pages in a Program, use the <Next Page>
and <Prev Page> buttons. Note that as you scroll through the Pages, the Page indicator in the lower left cor-
ner of the display changes to show the currently displayed Page.
SELECTING FX TYPES AND DEFAULTS
The Quad 4 has made custom digital signal processing easier than ever by giving you access to a complete library of
professionally developed effects settings. Page one of every FX Module allows you to:
1) Bypass that FX module
2) Select an effect Type (Chorus, Reverb, Delay, etc.)
