Chapter 5 - Description of Controls

Name

Selecting this button allows us to name, edit a name or rename a Program. Names can contain up to 14 Characters and are selected by turning the [VALUE/ENTER] knob. The cursor is positioned by using the [< PAGE >] buttons. Or, you can press the [VALUE/ENTER] button to advance the cursor to the right; this helps make naming your Programs a fast operation. Once chosen, the name can be stored along with the Program using the [STORE] button (see above). Here is a chart of available characters:

MIDI

When the [MIDI] button is pressed, its LED will light and the display will move to MIDI Page 1. There are a total of 6 pages in all, containing various MIDI related parameters. For more information about MIDI parameters, see Chapter 6.

Page 1: MIDI Channel. This sets the basic MIDI channel of the Q20. This is the channel used to receive MIDI program change messages for recalling Programs, and for receiving controller, pitch-bend, note or velocity information for controlling various effect parameters in realtime from an external MIDI source (such as a controller or sequencer). The MIDI channel can be set between 1Ñ16, or set to Omni (this lets the Q20 respond to all 16 channels).

MIDI CHANNEL: 1

Page 2: MIDI Program Change. This determine whether or not the Q20 will respond to incoming MIDI program change and bank select messages. This can be set to either ÒONÓ (recognize), ÒOFFÓ (ignore) or ÒTABLEÓ (use Program Table). When turned on, the Q20 will recognize program change messages received on the same MIDI channel it is set to receive on, and respond by calling up the equivalent Program number from the User bank. When set to ÒTABLEÓ, the Program that is recalled is based on how the Program Table is set up (see below).

MIDI PROGRAM CHANGE: OFF
