Your First Session with the QuadraSynth
20 QuadraSynth Reference Manual
Setting the Effects Level
Each Program can use up to four sounds, for either layering or splitting the
keyboard. Each of these sounds has its own effects , as well as effects bus assignment.
Many of the Programs in the QuadraSynth use only one or two sound layers, while
others may use all four sounds. You can adjust the effect send amount for each sound
independently, or you can view/edit all four sounds simultaneously.
While still in Program Edit mode, press the FUNCTION [¬] button six times
(from the ÒEFFECTÓ Function), or until the words ÒEFFECT - LEVELÓ are
underlined in the display.
This is where you determine how much level will be sent from the current Program
sound layer to the effects processor, and on which of the four busses.
