CHAPTER 2
YOUR FIRST SESSION WITH
THE QUADRASYNTH
Powering Up
After making your connections, turn on the systemÕs power using this procedure:
➀ Before turning on the QuadraSynthÕs power, check the following items:
¥ Have all connections been made correctly?
¥ Are the volume controls of the amplifier or mixer turned down?
¥ Is the volume of the QuadraSynth turned down?
➁ Turn on the [ON/OFF] (power) switch on the rear panel of the QuadraSynth.
Upon power-up, the QuadraSynth will display the last selected Program or Mix. If this
Program/Mix has been edited, the display will indicate this by showing the word
ÒEDITEDÓ below either the word ÒMIXÓ or ÒPROGRAM.Ó
➂ Turn the QuadraSynthÕs master [VOLUME] control to maximum.
The best signal-to-noise ratio is achieved when [VOLUME] is set to maximum. This is a
digital volume control, and lower settings have lower resolution.
➃ Turn on the power of the amplifier/mixer, and adjust the volume.
The Quad Knobs
To the right of the display are four knobs referred to as Quad Knobs, [1]Ñ[4], each
with its own button. These four knobs are linked to the parameters that appear in the
right side of the display. The lower line of the alphanumeric display will show the
abbreviated name of each parameter, with a bar graph below it representing the
current setting of the parameter.

VALUE
By turning Quad Knob [1], you adjust the setting of the first parameter on the left.
Turning Quad Knob [2] adjusts the next parameter, and so on. Once a Quad Knob
has been turned, or its button has been pressed, the top line of the display will
immediately show the parameterÕs name and current setting. At this point, the
parameter will have a thick underline beneath its bargraph, indicating that you can
now use the VALUE [¯] and [-] buttons to adjust the parameterÕs setting.
The parameters in the display change depending on which function and page are
selected. Not all four Quad Knobs are active in all windows; there are many pages
that have only one active Quad Knob.
