Block Bypass via MIDI

It is possible to engage Block Bypass via MIDI controller messages which the Q20 receives at its MIDI IN connector. The following controllers can be used to bypass the following Blocks and Block types:

Controller #

Block #5

76

Block #6

Block #8

Note: If one of these controllers is selected as a Modulation Source (Modulation Mode, Page 1) in a Program, that controllerÕs respective bypass function will be temporarily disabled while that Program is selected.

Controlling Delay Time via Tap Tempo

When using either of the two Delay types which allow for Òtap tempoÓ adjustments of delay time, either of the two footswitch jacks may be assigned to provide tap tempo control. This is an alternative way of setting the delay time of a Òtap tempoÓ type delay rather than tapping the [VALUE/ENTER] knob. This can be a great utility for live applications, where the delay time can be adjusted to match your playing tempo simply by tapping your footswitch to the beat of the music.

To select either the [BYPASS] or [ADVANCE] footswitch to control tap tempo:

➀Press [GLOBAL].

The [GLOBAL] buttonÕs LED will light.

➁Press [PAGE <] twice to move to Global Page 8. The display will read:

TAP TEMPO FOOTSWITCH: NONE

➂Turn the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to select either the ADVANCE or BYPASS footswitch jack, depending on which one you wish to use to control tap tempo.

When either BYPASS or ADVANCE is selected, that footswitch will not perform its normal function until the Tap Tempo Footswitch parameter is set to the other footswitch jack or to ÒNONEÓ.
