QuadraSynth Plus Piano Reference Manual 159
Mod
The Mod Function lets you control various effects parameters from the various
controls on the QuadraSynth Plus (keyboard, after-touch, pitch-bender, etc.) or
from the MIDI input. This is extremely useful when dynamic or real-time control
is required in a live playing situation. It is possible to control up to 2 parameters
simultaneously. The Modulation assignments are saved with the Effects Patch.
Don’t confuse this Mod Function with the Mod Function used by the Programs;
they are independent destinations, though they can come from the same source.
Note: Modulating any effect parameter (with the exception of chorus speed)
while audio is passing through it can result in audio artifacts or noises due to
discontinuities in the modulation source.
Selecting the Modulator
The are two Modulators. You can select between these by using the
PAGE [♦] and [∅] buttons. Page 1 displays the parameters of Modulator
#1, while page 2 displays the parameters for Modulator #2.
Mod Source
The Mod Source parameter selects the MIDI controller which will
remotely cause a change (modulate) in one or two of the parameters in
the effects processor. Nearly every MIDI controller can become a Mod
Source (using controllers A-D, set in Global mode, page 3), with the most
common controllers appearing as a direct option in the display. Quad
Knob [1] selects the Mod Source. The options for the Mod Source are:
• Aftertouch • Mod Wheel • Pitch Wheel
• MIDI Volume
• Sustain Pedal • Pedal 1 • Pedal 2 •
Controller A—D
Mod Destination
The Mod Destination is the parameter that will be controlled by the
selected Mod Source. Quad Knob [2] selects the Mod Destination. The
possible Destination parameters are:
• Pitch Speed • Pitch Depth • Pitch Level
• Pitch Balance • Delay Time • Delay Feedback
• Delay Level • Reverb Balance • Reverb Input
• Reverb Decay • Reverb Low Decay • Reverb
High Decay
• Reverb Diffusion • Reverb Level
If the selected Configuration has a particular effect on more than one
effect send (for example, Config. #1 has a delay on each send), then some
Mod Destination parameters will be listed more than once. For example,
the Delay Time parameter will appear four times (“D1 Time,” “D2
Time,” “D3 Time,” and “D4 Time”). In the case of Pitch, where you can
choose from various pitch effects, different parameters are available
