Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings. POWER SOURCES: The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance. [. . . ] Controls the output level of the Delay Groups. Controls the Left-Right balance of the Delay Groups. Selects the shape of the output levels for the delay group taps. Shape selections are: Flat, Peak, Decreasing, Increasing, Shelf, and Reverse Shelf. Controls the width of the effect's stereo imaging. Ranges from 1 to 10 Sets the amount of time before the delay is fed back into the signal. Sets how much delay is fed back into the signal. Adjusts the overall level of the left or right side of the reverb. Adjusts the overall level of the left side of the Primary reverb. Adjusts the overall level of the right side of the Primary reverb.

When you change the speed and depth Parameters of modulation effects, you're actually controlling the frequency and amplitude of the LFO. These settings determine the rate and intensity of the modulation effect. In general, here's how choruses and flangers work: after entering the Module, the source signal is split into two paths. One is allowed to pass through the Module unaltered, while the other is delayed and pitch modulated. The modified sound is then sent to the output, along with the original. 3-3 below, a sine wave is used to modulate the pitch of the split sound source. 10 10 PITCH -5 cents 0 5 cents 1 sec 2 sec TIME Figure 3-3 Modulation Example 3 sec Modulated Sound Original Sound The Dual Chorus creates two different pitch "voices", while the Octal Chorus creates eight voices for extremely full, rich sounds. The only difference between choruses and flangers is that flangers use less delay and have a feedback Parameter that sends a portion of the effected signal back to the input of the Module. When the effected signal reaches the input, it is sent through the Module again, building thickness and depth. If you increase the feedback enough, the source begins to lose its own original pitch to the dramatic pitch modulation of the feedback loop. [. . . ] If not, you can abort the procedure by pressing <4>. If you press <3>, the Information line of the display briefly reads: FACTORY RESETTING. . . after which the unit resets, and returns to Program 1. In extreme situations, the Studio Quad V2 can be reset using a special power-up procedure. [. . . ]
