SAFETY SUGGESTIONS
Carefully read the applicable items of the operating instructions and these safety suggestions before using this
product. Use extra care to follow the warnings written on the product itself and in the operating instructions.
Keep the operating instructions and safety suggestions for reference in the future.
1. Power Source. The product should only be connected to a power supply which is described either in the operating instructions or
in markings on the product.
2. Power Cord Protection. AC power supply cords should be placed such that no one is likely to step on the cords and such that
nothing will be placed on or against them.
3. Grounding the Plug. This product has a 3-wire grounding type of plug (a plug with a grounding pin) for safety purposes. This
plug can only be used in a grounding power outlet. If the plug does not insert into the outlet you are using, the outlet probably is not a
grounding type of power outlet. Contact your electrician to replace the obsolete outlet with a grounding type of outlet instead of
defeating the safety feature of the grounding type of plug.
4. Periods of Non-use. If the product is not used for any significant period of time, the product's AC power supply cord should be
unplugged from the AC outlet.
5. Foreign Objects and Liquids. Take care not to allow liquids to spill or objects to fall into any openings of the product.
6. Water or Moisture. The product should not be used near any water or in moisture.
7. Heat. Do not place the product near heat sources such as stoves, heat registers, radiators or other heat producing equipment.
8. Ventilation. When installing the product, make sure that the product has adequate ventilation. Improperly ventilating the product
may cause overheating, which may damage the product.
9. Mounting. The product should only be used with a rack which the manufacturer recommends. The combination of the product
and rack should be moved carefully. Quick movements, excessive force or uneven surfaces may overturn the combination which may
damage the product and rack combination.
10. Cleaning. The product should only be cleaned as the manufacturer recommends.
11. Service. The user should only attempt the limited service or upkeep specifically described in the operating instructions for the
user. For any other service required, the product should be taken to an authorized service center as described in the operating
instructions.
12. Damage to the Product. Qualified service personnel should service the unit in certain situations including without limitation
when:
a. Liquid has spilled or objects have fallen into the product,
b. The product is exposed to water or excessive moisture,
c. The AC power supply plug or cord is damaged,
d. The product shows an inappropriate change in performance or does not operate normally, or
e. The enclosure of the product has been damaged.

Genera Troub eshooting
While this manual assumes that the reader has a fundamental understanding of electronics and basic
troubleshooting techniques, a review of some of the techniques used by our staff may help.
1. Visual Inspection - A short visual inspection of the unit under test will often yield results without the need
of complex signal analysis (burnt, or loose components are a dead giveaway).
2. Self Test - Alesis products that utilize microprocessor control contain built in test software which exercises
many of the units' primary circuit functions. Self test should always be done following any repair to ensure
basic functionality.
3. Environmental Testing - Applying heat and cold (heat gun/freeze spray) will often reveal thermally
intermittent components (Clock crystals, I.C.s, and capacitors are particularly prone to this type of failure).
4. Burn in Testing - Leaving a unit running overnight often reveals intermittent failures such as capacitors that
begin to leak excess current after a significant amount of time.
5. Cable Checks - Wiggling cables can reveal intermittent failures such as loose cables or poorly soldered
headers. emember to check power supply cables as well.
6. Flexing the PC Board - Poor solder joints and broken traces can often be found by pressing the PC Board in
various places.
7. Tapping Components - Sometimes tapping on a component (particularly crystals) will cause it to fail.
8. Power Down/up - Turning the unit off and back on rapidly several times may reveal odd reset and/or power
supply failures.
9. eset Threshold - A Variac (variable transformer) can be used to check reset threshold levels. This can be
particularly useful in helping customers with low line problems.
10. Compressors - Using a compressor/limiter is often helpful when attempting to solve low level noise
problems, as well as assisting with DAC adjustments.
11. Sweep Tests - Sweep generators are very useful in checking the frequency response envelopes of anti-
aliasing filters.
12. Piggybacking - Piggybacking I.C.s is particularly useful when troubleshooting large sections of logic. This
is especially true when working with older units.

the number of bits required to transmit the value of the parameter. When the QuadraVerb -GT
receives this message, it will edit the specified parameter to the new value and display it. If the

ignored. If the value received is out of range for the parameter selected, the range will be limited
to a legal value. The function and page numbers for each parameter are shown in the next

INDIVIDUAL PARAMETER LOCATION FUNCTION AND PAGE VALUES
The following lists give the parameter locations and ranges for each of the effects in each of the
configurations. The parameter associated with a particular function and page may be dependent
on both the current configuration, and the current mode of the effect e.g., chorus, phase, etc.). In
conditions where a page relates to different parameters depending on the mode of the effect, the
parameters are listed in tables under each mode. All parameters are offset binary values. This
means that a signed parameter with a range of -99 to +99 in the display is actually stored as 0 for
-99, 99 for 0, and 198 for +99.

2XH: PITCH MOD
3XH: EQ MOD
4XH: MIX MOD
5XH: MULTI-TAP MOD Configuration 3 only)
6XH: " " " " " " " " "
