Your First Session with the Q20 - Chapter 2

Auditioning Internal Programs

You can audition the Programs in the Q20 by using the [VALUE/ENTER] knob or the front panel buttons, whenever the Q20 is in Program mode (the [PROGRAM] buttonÕs LED will be lit).

To select a Program using the [VALUE/ENTER] knob:

Press [PROGRAM].

The [PROGRAM] buttonÕs LED will light.

Turn the [VALUE/ENTER] knob.

Note: The [VALUE/ENTER] knob has two modes when used for selecting Programs: Direct and Deferred. Direct mode immediately recalls the displayed Program as you turn the [VALUE/ENTER] knob. Deferred mode lets you scroll through the Programs in the display by turning the [VALUE/ENTER] knob, but you must press the [VALUE/ENTER] button to actually recall a Program. For more information on choosing between Direct and Deferred mode, see Chapter 5.

To select a Program using the front panel buttons:

Hold the [PROGRAM] button.

Use the [1] through [0] buttons to directly select Programs 00 through 99. These are the right-most ten buttons on the front panel, which double for [BLOCK >], [TYPE], [ROUTING], etc.

The top line of the display will change to indicate the currently selected Program number (from 00-99) and its name.

PROG: Preset 00 "Concert Hall "

PROGRAM

The left side of the display always indicates the currently selected Program number (00 Ð 99). Directly beneath the two-digit Program number, the word ÒPRESETÓ will appear when the Preset bank is selected.

Switching Between Preset and User Banks

There are three banks in the Q20: Preset, User 0 and User 1. They each contain 100 Programs. However, the Preset bank cannot be permanently changed. You can edit the Preset Programs, but you can store them only in the User banks. To switch between the Preset and User banks, follow these steps:

Press and hold the [PROGRAM] button.

Use the [< BLOCK] and [< PAGE] buttons to select either PRESET or USER. Press the [< PAGE] again to toggle between the two User banks.

The currently selected Bank will be displayed in the top row of the LCD display. Also, when the Preset Bank is selected, the display will show the word ÒPRESETÓ beneath the PROGRAM number in the lower left corner.
