Specifications

Note: Outputs 3 and 4 are noticeably louder than the other two outputs.

This is normal. Outputs 3 and 4 are always monophonic and, therefore,

do not require as much headroom as the mix outputs, which have to

accommodate up to four voices at one time without distorting. The higher

level provides optimum signal-to-noise ratio. Compensate for differences

in level with a mixer.

Choosing “Q LR34” is similar to Quad, but voices 1 and 2 retain whatever

panning effects are present in the assigned programs and the stereo outputs of

those voices are present at both the Left and Right outputs.

PotMode: Relative, Passthru, Jump –Tetra’s Cutoff, Resonance, and Volume

controls are potentiometers or “pots.” There are three pot modes to determine

how the synth reacts when the programmable parameters—Cutoff and

Resonance—are edited. (Master volume is not programmable, so these modes

don’t apply.)

When set to Relative, changes are relative to the stored setting. In Relative

mode, the full value range is not available until either the minimum or maximum

value and the respective lower or upper limit of the pot’s travel is reached.

For example, the Resonance parameter has a value range of 0 to 127. Let’s say

the physical position of the Resonance pot is the equivalent of a value of 100. If

you switch to a program that has a stored Resonance setting of 63 and turn the

pot all the way up, it will only go to 90. To get to the maximum value of 127,

you first have to turn down until the value is at the other extreme and the pot is

at the limit of its travel (in this case, 0 and fully counter-clockwise,

respectively).

In Passthru mode, turning the pot has no effect until after the edited value equals

the preset value (that is, until the edited value “passes through” the stored

value).

Jump mode uses an absolute value based upon the position of the pot when

edited: turn a pot and the value jumps immediately from the stored value to the

edited value.

Balance V 1 - 4: -14…+14 — Adjusts the left/right balance of each voice by

approximately +/- 4 dB.

Basic Patch — Press the WRITE button to load a basic patch into the edit buffer.

(The patch will not actually be written to the current program location unless

intentionally written to memory in Program Mode using the W

RITE button.)
