Global Settings: Chapter 8
Likewise, if either Pedal is assigned to Controller 1, then they will automatically function like the Modulation Wheel for any Sound in Program Play Mode, and in Mix Play Mode, Sounds that are controlled by the Keyboard and have Pedals turned on. This is in addition to the fact that the pedals will be sending out MIDI information. The default settings are: Pedal 1 = 7; Pedal 2 = 4.
MIDI
Page 14 of Global Edit mode lets you determine the MIDI Mode (Off, On, Channel 1
Ð16). When this is set to ÒOffÓ, the QS will not respond to incoming MIDI Program Change messages, nor will it transmit Program Changes.
When set to ÒOnÓ, the QS will respond to incoming Program Change messages. Likewise, when a Program or Mix is recalled from the front panel, its respective program change message will be sent out. However, the QS will respond differently to incoming Program Change messages depending on whether Program Mode or Mix Mode is selected.
In Program Play Mode, the [ | ▲ | ▲ |
| PAGE] and [PAGE ] buttons determine which MIDI |
channel the QS will receive MIDI Program Change messages on (as well as other messages like notes, controllers, etc.). The Program recalled will be the same number as the Program Change message that is received, from whichever bank (Preset or User) is currently selected. When a Program is recalled from the front panel, the QS will transmit the equivalent Program Change message on this same MIDI channel.
In Mix Play Mode, when MIDI Program select is set to ÒOnÓ, Program Changes received on any of the 16 MIDI channels will be received by the same numbered MIDI channels in the current Mix. The Mix itself will not respond to Program Changes on any MIDI channel.
When set to ÒChannel 1 Ð 16Ó, the QS will change Mixes in response to Program Change messages received on the same MIDI channel as selected by this parameter, from whichever bank (Preset or User) is currently selected. Program Change messages received on any other channel (other than the one selected by this parameter) will change the individual Programs in the Mix on the same channels the messages are received on.
Note: When General MIDI Mode is enabled (see page 115), Channel 10 of the selected Mix will be used exclusively for drums. If a program change is received on Channel 10, a new drum kit will be recalled. These drum kits are used exclusively in General MIDI mode, and adhere to the General MIDI specification.
RECEIVING/TRANSMITTING BANK CHANGE MESSAGES
The QS will respond to MIDI Bank Select messages. Bank Select messages are transmitted via MIDI Controller 0. The value of Controller 0 determines which bank (User, Preset 1Ð3, GenMIDI, Card 1Ð11) is to be recalled. Example: If a Bank Select (controller 0) message of 0 is received, it will cause the User Bank to be recalled. If a Bank Select message of 1 is received, Preset Bank 1 will be recalled. Additionally, if a Sound Card is inserted, the Card Banks can be selected using Controller 0 values between 5 and 15. Values higher than 15 are Òwrapped aroundÓ and will recall the same Banks. Example: A Controller 0 message with a value of 39 will recall the User Bank.
