CHAPTER 4
MAKING Y OUR OWN
PROGRAMS
Getting Started
Because the Q20Õs custom LCD display clearly shows the audio routings between
each of the 8 possible Effect Blocks, creating and modifying your own patches is
extremely easy and flexible.
There are 300 possible Program locations available, divided into three banks Ð
Preset, User 0 and User 1 Ð of 100 Programs each. These Programs are numbered 0
through 99. The Q20 is shipped with 100 factory presets in the Preset bank; these
can be modified but not permanently changed. All edited programs must be stored in
the User bank .
LetÕs start by creating a simple single-Block program starting from scratch, then go
on from there by adding other blocks. WeÕll use Preset #99, which has been left un-
programmed for the purpose of this tutorial. Refer to Chapter 2 for information on
selecting programs.

This program has the L/R INs routed directly to the L/R OUTs, respectively.
Consequently, there is no audible change to the signal we are feeding to it. Our
signal is clean (dry) now, so let's add an effect.
If the Global Direct Signal Mute function is turned on, any Programs which have the
L/R IN routed to the L/R OUT will not display these Òpatch cordsÓ except when
editing the ProgramÕs routings. This is to avoid confusion when operating in this
mode. For more information on Global Direct Signal Mute, see Chapter 2.
There are generally five Block Functions available for creating and editing
Programs, which are: Type, Routing, Parameter, Mix and Modulation. Modulation
deals with controlling various parameters in real-time via a MIDI controller. This
information is covered in Chapter 6. For now, letÕs stick to the basics, and go
through the Functions one at a time.
