CHAPTER 3 - BASIC EDITING
TECHNIQUES
Editing is the key to using the QuadraVerb GT to its fullest potential. If
you like a sound but want more reverb, less treble, more distortion, or
whatever, editing is the answer.
Make sure that if you develop a custom set of programs, that you save
your data to some form of MIDI system exclusive storage device, like the
Alesis DataDisk (see sections 5.5-5.6).

3.1 HOW EDITING WORKS

The QuadraVerb GT contains five Effects Groups, each with its own
corresponding front panel selection button: Reverb, Delay, Pitch,
Equalization (EQ), and Guitar Preamp (Pre-Amp). These all contain
editable parameters. Four other editable functions (with front panel
buttons) are also available: MIDI, Name/Mod, Mix, and Configuration.
The basic editing procedure is the same for whatever you want to edit;
weÕll get into specifics later.
1. Select What You Want to Edit
Push the button associated with the Effect Group (Reverb, Delay, Pitch,
EQ, Preamp) or function (MIDI, Config, Mix, Mod) you want to edit. The
LED in the middle of the button will light.
2. Select the Page with the Parameter to be Edited
Each effect/function includes several pages. Each page shows the name
and value of one (or sometimes more) parameters, and each parameter
controls some particular aspect of the QuadraVerb GTÕs sound or
operation. Most effects or functions require multiple pages to show all
available parameters.
The page's upper display line shows the parameter name, and the lower
line, the parameter value. Press the PAGE UP and DOWN buttons to
select a page containing a parameter to be edited. The harder you press
the PAGE button, the faster the pages will scroll.
NOTE: The NAME/MOD button is the exception to this rule,as it
