Figure 1-1 Front Panel 1) DISPLAY - The Studio Quad V2's large custom display is where you get most of the information you need to move around the operating system. The display has several important sections that you need to understand when you use the Studio Quad V2. - Page 6 9) IN LEVELS - This button is used to access both the automatic and manual input leveling controls. For more on setting input levels, see pg. 29. 10) BYPASS - Bypasses all the effects in the Studio Quad V2. 11) DATA WHEEL - The Data Wheel lets you scroll through Programs and change Parameters values.

4) MIDI IN - MIDI data is received at this port. When MIDI data is received, the MIDI indicator in the display flash- es on and off. 5) MIDI OUT / THRU - Merges MIDI data generated by the Studio Quad V2 with MIDI data received at the input. Please see pg. 31 for more information. - Page 8 EFFECTS LOOP This application uses the Studio Quad V2 in an effects loop of a mixing console. In this application, the source is routed directly to the mixer channel input(s). From there, the Studio Quad V2 gets its source audio from the con- sole's auxiliary send, and mix levels are controlled directly from the console.

Page 9: A Word About Bypass
This method also utilizes the effects loops of your console, and since each effect has a mono input, the auxiliary sends can be set up in a much more straightforward way. Figure 1-6 shows how to connect the Studio Quad V2 for this application. -
Page 10: Section 2 - Basic Functions Of The Studio Quad V2
HINT: If you look at the Effect Routing Matrix while you press the FX Edit button, the currently selected mod- ule will flash. The Studio Quad V2 uses Pages to navigate within an effect. A Page is a group of up to four effect Parameters that appear on the screen at one time. -
Page 11: Modifying Fx Module Parameters Example
Studio Quad V2 User's Manual The Default parameter allows you to select one of several effect settings stored in the Studio Quad V2's library. For example, there are 8 Dual Delay defaults to choose from. All Factory Programs use these Default settings. So, if you like the Delay that is being used in Factory Program 62, simply locate page one of the FX Module, then use the <4>... -

Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) or MIDI Continuous Controller information. Every Program in the Studio Quad V2 has a set of Modifiers. Up to 8 Modifier links can be assigned to control para- meters. There are three types of Modifiers that can be linked to a parameter: MIDI CCs, LFOs, and Dynamic (signal level dependent). -
Page 13: Linking A Parameter To A Modifier
LFOs - When you use LFOs, Parameter values can be controlled automatically between a defined minimum and maximum setting at a rate set by the user. The Studio Quad V2 has 2 user definable LFOs in each program that can be assigned to any Parameter. -
Page 14: Setting Up An Lfo Or Dynamic
• Press <3> and use the Data wheel to adjust HiThrs. The HiThrs control sets the point at which maximum Parameter modification occurs. • Press <4> and use the Data wheel to select which input (1 - 4) you want the modifier to "listen" to, or follow.

Page 15: Comparing Programs
During the course of editing Programs, you may find that you want to compare the edited version of the Program to the original, stored version. Fortunately, the Studio Quad V2 provides you with this valuable A/B feature in the Compare function. To compare an edited Program with the original Stored version, do the following: •... -
Page 16: Section 3 - Effects And Parameters
HLF modules, and so on, but all sizes of FX Modules feature very high quality effects, so you don’t have to worry if you need to divide the Studio Quad V2 pie four ways. For a com- plete list of these FX Types, see pg. -
Page 17: Reverbs
"slapback" the room wall produces when a sound hits. Today’s technology allows the Studio Quad V2 to offer a complete palette of flexibile, easy to use reverbs. There are five basic reverbs to choose from. - 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%.

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. -
Page 25: Detuners And Pitch Shifters
(50 cents) up from the original. Pitch shifters allow you to create multiple voices from a single note input. In the Studio Quad V2, the new pitch is determined by the setting of the SHFT Parameters, which can cover a pitch range of four octaves. - 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%.

Page 27: Delays
"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. The Studio Quad V2's delays have a feedback meter that is used to send a portion of the delayed signal back to the input to be re-recorded along with new source material. -
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
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. -
Page 31: Section 4-In Levels And Utilities
The concept of Auto Leveling is simple: the Studio Quad V2 listens to the signal for about 8 seconds, and sets the input levels accordingly. You also have the option of leveling the inputs manually if you want. -
