MIDI Supplement: Appendix B

There are three MIDI registered parameters which the QS will recognize in Mix Play Mode when General MIDI Mode is enabled. These are:

•MIDI Registered Parameter 0 (Pitch Bend Sensitivity): This will directly effect

the Pitch Wheel Range parameter of all four Sounds of the Program on the

received MIDI Channel of the Mix. If the Channel is selected using the [ PAGE] and [PAGE] buttons, the “*” symbol will appear between the Mode name and the Bank name in the upper part of the display if this parameter is received.

However, if you are viewing the Pitch Wheel Range parameter in the display (Program Edit Mode, Pitch Function, Page 4), the display will not be updated to reflect the new setting. If you go to another Page or Function and then return to it, the display will now reflect the updated setting.

•MIDI Registered Parameter 1 (Fine Tune): This will directly effect the Detune Amount parameter of all four Sounds of the Program on the received MIDI Channel of the Mix. If this MIDI registered parameter is received, the QS will automatically make sure that all four Sounds of the Program have their Detune

Type parameter set to “Normal” (Program Edit Mode, Pitch Function, Page 3). If the Channel is selected using the [ PAGE] and [PAGE] buttons, the “*” symbol will appear between the Mode name and the Bank name in the upper part of the display if this parameter is received. However, if you are viewing the Detune Amount parameter in the display (Program Edit Mode, Pitch Function, Page 2), the display will not be updated to reflect the new setting. If you go to another Page or Function and then return to it, the display will now reflect the updated setting.

•MIDI Registered Parameter 2 (Coarse Tune):This will directly effect the Tune

Semitone parameter of all four Sounds of the Program on the received MIDI

Channel of the Mix. If the Channel is selected using the [ PAGE] and

[PAGE] buttons, tthe “*” symbol will appear between the Mode name and the Bank name in the upper part of the display if this parameter is received. However, if you are viewing the Tune Semitone parameter in the display (Program Edit Mode, Pitch Function, Page 1), the display will not be updated to reflect the new setting. If you go to another Page or Function and then return to it, the display will now reflect the new setting.
