68 Q20 Reference Manual
Note: This illustration shows all display flags and routes (Òpatch cordsÓ) turned on
at once. Actual displays show only some of these at any time.
DIG. IN. Illuminates if the INPUT AUDIO SOURCE is switched to OPTICAL
DATA in the Global functions.
MIDI. Illuminates if MIDI signals are present at the MIDI IN.
Alphanumeric Display. This 32 character display indicates types of effects,
parameters of effect, mode, etc. It also allows us to select and enter types and
amounts of an effect. Includes a 14 character entry section for naming the Programs.
PAGE 1-9. Indicates the total number of pages available in the currently selected
mode, with an underline to indicate the current page. Some functions have more
pages than others. A REVERB effect may have seven pages of parameters, the
MIDI button will have six pages, for example. Some pages have more than one
parameter field. Use the [< PAGE >] buttons to advance the cursor through each
parameter field in a page, and to access the other pages in a selected function.
PROGRAM (00-99). Indicates the PROGRAM number currently selected.
PRESET. Indicates if the PROGRAM selected is a PRESET and if any modifications
have been made to the PRESET.
EDITED. This indicates that the currently selected Program has been edited
(modified from its original version as it is stored in memory). You must Store a
Program after editing it, if you want to make those changes permanent. Otherwise,
if you select another Program before saving the edited one, your edits will be lost.
L/R IN. This represents the inputs of the Q20 which need to be routed to the OUT
L/R before it can pass along its signal. Along the way the signal may be routed
through a variety of effects. These inputs are fed directly by the [L] and [R] INPUT
connectors on the rear of the unit.
Blocks 1-8. Eight selectable, discrete effects processors that can be used together or
separately. Choices are Off, Equalization (EQ), Pitch (PCH), Delay (DLY) and
Reverberation (RVB).
L/R OUT. These are the outputs of the Q20. They feed the [L] and [R] OUTPUT
connectors on the rear of the unit.
Patch Cords. A fully programmable series of connections, representing patch cords,
that connect the L/R IN to a variety of effects (Blocks), Block outputs to other
Blocks, and then to the L/R OUT.
Value/Enter
The [VALUE/ENTER] knob is used to adjust values in the display. However, it is
also a button. Depending on what you are editing, the [VALUE/ENTER] knob will
work in either one of two modes:
Immediate. The desired value is selected by turning the [VALUE/ENTER] knob,
and immediately takes effect. This is normally the case when selecting Programs
(see next page) and for adjusting most of the numeric parameters.
