MIDI devices. You’ll need to set your sequencer to echo back the MIDI
data that is being recorded.
Turning on General MIDI
Button: [EDIT] [GLOBAL]
Page: 7
Parameter: Genrl MIDI (ON, OFF)
This setting allows your QS to play any of the thousands of General
MIDI (“GM” for short) sequences that are available from the Internet
and other sources. Turning this ON will immediately put the QS into
Mix Mode and call up the GM Multi Mix.
Setting the A-D Controller MIDI Numbers
Button: [EDIT] [GLOBAL]
Pages: 8 through 11
Parameter: ControlrA-D (0 to 120)
These parameters let you select the MIDI Controller Numbers that will
be assigned to the A-D [CONTROLLER] sliders. This is useful both for
controlling external MIDI devices and for giving you sequencer-
recordable control over Program and Effect parameters. The default
values are 012, 013, 091 and 093 for Controllers A-D respectively.
Setting the Pedal 1 MIDI Controller Number
Button: [EDIT] [GLOBAL]
Page: 12
Parameter: Ped1 Ctrl# (0 to 120)
Just like MIDI Controllers A–D, your QS’s [PEDAL 1] jack can be
assigned to a MIDI controller. The default is Controller 007 (Main
Volume). When set to this value, a pedal plugged into the back panel’s
Pedal 1 jack will automatically control volume.
Setting the Pedal 2 MIDI Controller Number
Button: [EDIT] [GLOBAL]
Page: 13
Parameter: Ped2 Ctrl# (0 to 120)
This setting works exactly like Pedal 1, just above. Even though the QS
does not have a Pedal 2 input, you can use this function to modulate QS
parameters through MIDI. The default for this setting is 004 (Foot
Controller).
Selecting the MIDI Program Change Behavior
Button: [EDIT] [GLOBAL]
Page: 14
Parameter: MIDI Prgsl (OFF, ON, CH1-16)
This parameter determines how your QS deals with MIDI Program
Change Commands.
When OFF, your QS will not send or respond to Program Change
messages.
NOTE: The General MIDI spec reserves
MIDI Channel 10 for drumkits. Because of
this, when the General MIDI setting is ON,
your QS won’t be able to call up anything
but drumkits on Channel 10.
NOTE: Turning General MIDI ON
automatically sets your Keyboard Mode to
CH SOLO. Turning General MIDI off will
put the Keyboard Mode back the way it was.
NOTE: Some G
eneral MIDI sequences will
have a SysEx message at the beginning
which tells the receiving device to go into
General MIDI mode. The QS will respond to
such a message. If one comes in, then your
instrument will immediately jump from
wherever it is to the GM Multi Mix.
