Quad 4 User's Manual
For example, you can create an auto panner without using an auto panner module. Simply link an effect's output pan
parameter to the LFO modifier and the LFO will move that parameter back and forth. This modifier can be a very
useful weapon in the ongoing battle of new sound creation. There are two LFOs available in each program that can
use unique speeds and waveforms.
Dynamic Modifiers - When you use Dynamic Modifiers, the Parameter values are controlled in relation to the
dynamics of the input signal. The possibilities are nearly endless, and they cannot be duplicated using any other
method.
For example, you could link the Dynamic Modifier of a Program to control a chorus level. It doesn't sound like much
on paper, but imagine the expressiveness of this type of effect on a vocal part. As the dynamics of the music
increase, the chorus becomes less apparent. Ease up on the vocal a little and the chorus increases. ALL IN REAL
TIME!
NOTE: Linking a Modifier to a Parameter causes the Parameter to change as if you were changing it using the Data
Wheel. The only difference is that the <Store> button and PROGRAM CHANGED indicators do not light.
Therefore, the Default name may display 'Custom' if a Parameter is consistently being changed by a modifi-
er. Storing the Program will store these new Parameter values.

LINKING A PARAMETER TO A MODIFIER

To link a Parameter to a Modifier, do the following:
1. Press the <FX Edit> button until you reach the Modifier edit mode section. The display will apppear like:
Notice that the modifiers icon in the bottom right corner of the display begins flashing.
2. Pressing the <Next Page> and <Prev Page> button will scroll through Pages 1-10 to select which of the
eight Modifier links you wish to use.
3. Use the <Data> wheel to scroll to the parameter you want assigned to Modifier link #1. As you scroll, the
MIN and MAX values for each parameter show in the display.
NOTE: The MUTE and THRU effect types do not have any parameters to connect to, so they will not appear
in the parameter list.
4. Press the <3> button to select the minimum value parameter.
5. Use the <Data> wheel to set the minimum parameter to the value you want when the controller is in the
minimum position. These values vary because different parameters have different value units, such as millisec-
onds or percent.
6. Press the <4> button to select the maximum value parameter.
7. Use the <Data> wheel to set the maximum parameter to the value you want when the controller is in the
maximum position.
8. Press the <2> button to select the modifier type parameter.
9. Using the <Data> wheel to scroll through the Modifier types: MIDI CC number 0 -127 and CHP (Channel
