123 - Switches between the 3 racks. This can be used live to change between different parts of a song, for example.

MIDI - To make the controls even easier, you can use a MIDI controller, or connect a MIDI track. The lowest notes (C-2, C#-2 and D-2) select 1, 2 and 3 for you. Please note, some DAWs use different octave numbering system, so you may have to try a bit here ;) .

Keep tails - allows the delay and reverb tails to continue to decay when switching between racks. If this is off, switching racks will cut the decay tails and switch to another selected rack's settings.

Live mode: For easier control and more user comfort, QuickVox has two interface modes. When you turn on the Live mode, QuickVox will hide the detailed access to the particular effects, and the 123 switch will take over the plugin window. In that case you can easily hit the "big numbers" of the switch with your mousepad or mouse, without worrying that you could miss the button at the right time. 

Panic - this button stops all the plugin processing immediately, suitable when you need to kill feedback or tails at once. 

Racks headers

QuickVox features three identical racks with identical effect units. 

ON - Each Rack's header contains its own bypass button, so you may check the dry signal vs the effected signal. 

Dice - Intelligent randomizer will generate random settings for the FX rack. It will change all parameters in all units of the affected rack.  

Gain - Set the gain level for the wet signal by +/-12dB for the particular rack.

Mix - Set the ratio between dry and wet signal for the particular rack.  

Rack presets - Each rack has a preset window. Tweak the effects in a rack the way you want, click the presets window, and choose NEW to save a preset. The saved preset can now be loaded to any of the three racks. (The rack presets exclude the mix and gain parameters of the rack,)

Effects

Each effect has a selector for effect mode and two parameters to edit. 

Lock - Lock protects the effect's parameters from being overwritten when you load a preset or use a randomizer.
