vpme.de QD - Quad Drum Voice - User Manual for firmware v1.12
"EASTER EGG" FEATURES:
REVERB: when in the EQ/COMPRESSOR screen, long press the encoder to access the reverb settings
●
reverb only works on QD main outputs 1 and 2
○
use the bottom LED buttons to select blue: reverb mix, red: feedback, yellow: diffusion,
○
green: reverb time
when the reverb mix is not 0, the reverb setting can be accessed with a normal press on the
○
encoder: MIX -> EQ/COMP -> REVERB -> MIX.
reverb settings are stored with presets
○
EXTRA: with the toggle switch in the MUTE position, press and hold a mute LED button to access an
●
"extra" parameter for sample/wavetables and most of the digital models, note that the extra value
resets to 0 when you change the model, but will be kept if you are switching between samples or
wavetables
LOW PASS GATES:
samples and wavetables now also have an EXTRA namely LOW PASS GATES
●
with EXTRA at zero, the standard decay envelope is used.
●
with EXTRA not zero, the decay envelope is replaced with a resonant low pass gate.
●
with increasing EXTRA, the resonance is increased, in the 2nd half of the circle the cutoff frequency
●
is also reduced - try it out :)
NEW FEATURES:
when editing the CV attenuation level a blinking purple LED shows the current CV signal of the
●
selected CV input - this is useful to see the range of the incoming CV signal
new model #15 - BLENDED VCO: the EXTRA feature allows to change the PWM value from 0.5 to 1.0
●
new digital model #15 - SUPERSAW VCO: MOD changes the detune amount, EXTRA morphs between
●
super saw and super triangle (less harmonics)
new EXTRA handling: EXTRA value is now stored per voice, not per model, when you change the
●
model, the EXTRA value is reset to 0
when QD scans the memory card for samples, it checks if the samples are continuous or
●
fragmented. If a sample set has fragmented file(s), it will show a WHITE LED instead of the sample
set colours. If the sample set has WAV files that are not compatible with QD, it will show a RED LED.
NOTE: for optimal performance, none of the files should be fragmented on the card. To ensure no
●
fragmentation, it is recommended to erase all files from the card, then copy all files in a single
copy operation from the PC/Mac
when a sample set has only one file, the MOD pot allows to change the start point for the sample
●
playback. this will only work for files that are not fragmented, so make sure you copy these files
cleanly, see the above notice
In this mode, the LOW PASS GATE EXTRA is not available, instead press and hold the mute LED
button and use the encoder to fine tune the sample start point, this offset is saved with presets
if a folder has "FOREVER" in it's name, the sample(s) will autostart and loop forever, the trigger signal
●
will just trigger the envelope. the sample(s) will still change due to MOD pot and CV/LFO when there
is a trigger or they loop
in MIX mode, press the bottom two LED buttons together to access the master volume, it allow to
●
change the total volume of all 4 voices between 25% and 100%, this is also saved with presets
CHOKE: a trigger on voice 4 will stop (choke) voice 3, with long press also voice 2 will choke voice 1
●
(NOTE: before 1.11 the order was 2 choke 1, then 4 choke 3)
QEX: a new setting allows a trigger on QEX CV2 to trigger all 4 voices at the same time (see QEX
●
manual) - a Gaz Williams special request feature :)
