Studio Quad V2 User's Manual SECTION 3 - EFFECTS AND PARAMETERS ABOUT MODULES AND THE EFFECT CHARTS The Studio Quad V2's diverse selection of effect Modules allows you to achieve nearly endless combinations of effects and routings. To accomplish that goal, we've supplied you with several different module types in an effects configuration. -
Page 17: Reverbs
Studio Quad V2 User's Manual REVERBS Reverberation is probably the most widely used effect because it allows you to simulate the sound reflection charac- teristics of almost any kind of room. In a real room, reverb is a result of sound reflecting off room surfaces such as the walls, floor, ceiling, and objects in the room. - Page 18 Studio Quad V2 User's Manual Reverbs PARAM. DESCRIPTION FX: Lvl Controls the signal input level fed to the Module. Varies from OFF to 100%. Dry: Lvl Controls the level of the dry (uneffected) signal. Ranges from OFF to 100%. Balance Controls the left/right positioning of the dry signal in the stereo soundfield.
- Page 19 Studio Quad V2 User's Manual Reverbs (continued) PARAM. DESCRIPTION Blend The BLEND control cross-mixes reverberations from the left side into the right side and vice-versa. This can be used to increase the realism of the simulated room by adding reverberations from different parts of the room to each channel. Varies from 0% to 99%. Prim &...

Page 20: Chorus And Flange
Studio Quad V2 User's Manual CHORUS AND FLANGE Both choruses and flangers use a Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) to produce their rich, swirling effects. When you change the speed and depth Parameters of modulation effects, you're actually controlling the frequency and ampli- tude of the LFO. - Page 21 Studio Quad V2 User's Manual Choruses DESCRIPTION PARAM. FX: Lvl Controls the signal input level fed to the Module. Varies from OFF to 100%. Dry: Lvl Controls the level of the dry (uneffected) signal. Ranges from OFF to 100%. Balance Controls the left/right positioning of the dry signal in the stereo soundfield.
- Page 22 Studio Quad V2 User's Manual Flangers PARAM. DESCRIPTION FX: Lvl Controls the signal input level fed to the Module. Varies from OFF to 100%. Dry: Lvl Controls the level of the dry (uneffected) signal. Ranges from OFF to 100%. Balance Controls the left/right positioning of the dry signal in the stereo soundfield.

Page 23: Phasers
Studio Quad V2 User's Manual PHASERS Phasers create a copy of the original signal and modulate that new signal’s phase relationship to the original signal. When the two signals are reunited at the output, the modified signal, moving smoothly in and out of phase, causes continuous cancellations and reinforcements at different frequencies throughout the modulating cycle. -
Page 24: Rotary Speaker Simluator, Tremolos, And Auto Panners
Studio Quad V2 User's Manual ROTARY SPEAKER SIMULATOR / TREMOLO / AUTO PANNER The Rotary Speaker Simluator allows you to emulate the classic rotating speaker sound, without the chiropractic problems that come with moving bulky speaker cabinets. Tremolos and Auto Panners are similar to one another because they use an LFO to modulate the level of the signal. This allows you to re-create the tremolo effects commonly found on vintage instrument amplifiers. -
Page 25: Detuners And Pitch Shifters
Studio Quad V2 User's Manual DETUNERS / PITCH SHIFTERS Detuners are similar to pitch shifters, but the intervals between the detuned signal and the original are much small- er, usually expressed in cents (hundredths of a semitone). The Studio Quad V2 uses percentages of semitones to express the shifted note's distance from the original. - Page 26 Studio Quad V2 User's Manual Pitch Shifters PARAM. DESCRIPTION FX: Lvl Controls the signal input level fed to the Module. Varies from OFF to 100%. Dry: Lvl Controls the level of the dry (uneffected) signal. Ranges from OFF to 100%. Balance Controls the left/right posistioning of the dry signal in the stereo soundfield.

Page 27: Delays
Studio Quad V2 User's Manual DELAYS A delay produces discrete, repeating echoes of the source material at a specified interval. In digital delays, the input signal is "sampled" or recorded into memory, where it is held for the amount of time you specify with the delay time setting, after which the sample is replayed at the output. -
Page 28: Eqs
Studio Quad V2 User's Manual EQUALIZERS The Studio Quad V2 has a broad selection of equalizer Modules to cover virtually any need. Both mono and stereo modules are available. Remember that mono equalizers connected to stereo sources will always sum the stereo sig- nal together for equalization (thus eliminating the stereo image). -
Page 29: Noise Gate And Compressor
Studio Quad V2 User's Manual NOISE GATE / COMPRESSOR Noise gates are particularly useful for preventing mic rumble, wind noise, or hum from getting to tape in your recordings, or for gating drum kits to prevent mic bleed. Compression does exactly what its name implies; it compresses the dynamic range of the signal. It does this by turn- ing signals down as they become louder. -
Page 30: Multi Effects
Studio Quad V2 User's Manual MULTI EFFECTS MODULES The Studio Quad V2, Multi Effect Modules allow the User to combine either Delay and Chorus or Delay and Flange within one Effect module block. This is ideal for situations where the User needs to add another effect to the Effect Configuration, but is running low on signal processing resources. -
