MIDI Functions
The Q20 provides many MIDI functions, including being able to respond to program
changes, sending and receiving Program information via SysEx dumps, and realtime
control over various effect parameters via MIDI controllers. For more information
about basic MIDI connections, see Chapter 1.
Global MIDI Channel
The Global MIDI Channel is used to receive program change messages, as well as
other MIDI events for use with MIDI modulation.
To set the Q20Õs MIDI channel:
➀ Press [MIDI].
The [MIDI] LED will light and the display will read:
MIDI CHANNEL: 1
➁ Turn the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to set the Global MIDI Channel to either 1
through 16, or OMNI (all 16 channels simultaneously).
Receiving Program Changes
In order to recall programs or control parameters on the Q20 from a MIDI control
device (keyboard, drum pad, guitar or bass controller, sequencer, etc.):
➀ Connect the control deviceÕs MIDI OUT to the Q20Õs [MIDI IN].
This provides a one-way connection, since this is all we need to control the Q20
via MIDI (we donÕt require the Q20 to send MIDI information back to the other
device).
➁ Press [MIDI].
The [MIDI] LED will light.
➂ Press [PAGE >] to access MIDI Page 2.
The display will read:
MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE: O FF
➃ Turn the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to turn MIDI Program Changes ÒONÓ.
Incoming MIDI program change messages received on the same channel the Q20
is set to will recall the same numbered Program in the cuerrently selected Bank
(Preset, User 0 or User 1) in the Q20.
