QS Parallel Matrix Effects™

The QS synthesizer has a powerful built-in digital signal processor
capable of generating a variety of effects, including reverb, delay, chorus,
flanging and overdrive.
The effects processor has four paths called effect Sends. Each Send has
its own group of effects arranged in a particular way. The four Sends are
arranged in parallel and can be active simultaneously.
In a Program, each Sound can be assigned to one of the four effect
Sends. The send levels are set in Program Edit Mode and Mix Edit
Mode.
In Mix Mode, only one Program’s effects are active, and they apply to all
Programs in the Mix. The Mix Channel containing the Program whose
effects are active is called the Effects Channel. The Effects Channel is
set within Mix Mode.
