Connecting AC Power

Before making any power connections, make sure the QS’s power switch
is turned off.
1. Plug the female end of the power cable into the QS’s power socket.
2. Plug the male (plug) end into a properly grounded power outlet.

Making Audio Connections

There are several ways to hook up your QS synthesizer audio outputs:
• Mono. Connect a cable from either of the QS’s [MAIN] outputs to an
amp or mixer input. The QS will automatically route both left and right
channels to that output.
• Stereo. Connect two cables from the QS’s [LEFT] and [RIGHT]
outputs to two inputs of an amp or mixer.
• Headphones. Plug a set of headphones into the [HEADPHONES]
jack on the rear panel.

Connecting the Foot Pedals

The QS has two pedal jacks marked [SUS PEDAL] and [PEDAL 1].
Plug the included sustain pedal into the jack marked [SUS PEDAL].
[SUS PEDAL] is designed to work with any standard momentary
footswitch. It doesn’t matter whether the footswitch is normally open or
closed, as long as you plug it in before powering up your QS; the
instrument will calibrate itself.
[PEDAL 1] is designed to work with a Roland EV-5 pedal or equivalent.
WARNING: When connecting
audio cables
or turning power on and off, make sure that
the amplifiers in your system are turned off
or the volume controls are turned down. If
you don’t do this, you can create loud bursts
of sound that might damage your speakers.
NOTE: If your sustain pedal responds
ba
ckwards (i.e., notes sustain when your foot
is off the pedal), turn off your QS and make
sure the footswitch plug is fully inserted into
the [SUS PEDAL] jack. Then, turn the QS
back on while keeping your foot off the
footswitch.
WARNING: Make sure the outlet is
properly grounded. Plugging the QS into an
