Editing Effects
92 QuadraSynth Reference Manual
Once an Effects Patch has been altered, the display will show the word ÒEDITEDÓ
next to the Effects Patch number. This indicates that the current Effects Patch in the
edit buffer is different from what is stored in memory.
While in Effects Edit mode, press [STORE] at any time to go to Store mode. Store
mode has several pages, but the main storing function is found in the first page.

To store the edited Effects Patch into the same location it was recalled from, simply
press [STORE] again, and it will be stored. To store the edited Effects Patch into a
different location, use Quad Knob [1] to select a different Effects Patch number
(000Ñ127) to store it to.
Configurations
A is essentially the starting point of any Effects Patch. You must select the
Configuration you are going to use before making any other edits, since all routings
and parameters change to their default settings each time you change the
configuration. Each Configuration is a unique arrangement of multiple effect blocks,
distributed across the four effect sends. Some effect sends may have three different
effects (pitch, delay and reverb) on them. Configurations also determine where the
signal to a block comes from, and where the output of each block goes to -- the main
outputs, the next effect in line, or even to an effect block belonging to another effect
send. The Configuration diagrams on the next six pages provide a crucial Òroad
mapÓ youÕll need to guide you through the many paths that are possible in each
configuration. Refer to them as you program the effect.
The Configuration function is used to select the Configuration for the Effects Patch
you are editing. Use the FUNCTION [¬] and [®] buttons to scroll through the
functions in the display until the word CONFIG is underlined. The display should
look like this (from Mix Edit mode):

Quad Knob [1] is used to select the Configuration. As you scroll through the various
Configurations, each oneÕs name will appear in the upper right section of the display.
