Had I found an editor for it on the Atari ST, I might have stuck with it, as I did with the similarly complex and digital Yamaha TX81Z. Personally, I didn't get on with the QuadraVerb as much as I'd hoped I would, because I prefer making my own programs to using presets, and I dislike menu diving. Or, for that matter, you can use MIDI control changes to affect up to eight parameters. For example, you can effectively make it listen in on the MIDI notation of a part you're applying an effect to, and make the notes' pitches or velocities affect how much delay or reverb they get. Perhaps the most interesting feature of the QuadraVerb is its expressivity: you can route MIDI events to its effects parameters. On the down side, that increased flexibility makes for a more complex interface, especially when accessed chiefly over either MIDI or a handful of buttons and a 16×2 character LCD. On the plus side, they can be more versatile, performing many different functions, and offering flexible control over how those functions' parameters are set. Pre-MIDI effects, such as the Boss Micro Studio Series, tended to be very hands-on, with a simple interface: each device performed only one effect, and each of its knobs affected one parameter.ĭigital devices controlled via MIDI tend to be a bit different. It could simultaneously provide a combination of EQ, chorus/flanger/phaser, delay, and reverb. The QuadraVerb was a 1U rackmount, MIDI controlled digital effects unit made by Alesis in 1989.
