INITIALIZING PROGRAMS

If you want to start programming from “scratch”, you can easily reset all parameters to their default settings by re-initializing the software. Make sure your mod wheel is all the way down before re-initializing, otherwise the "zero" position of the mod wheel will be incorrect.

To re-initialize the QS:

¿Turn the power off.

¡While holding down both Buttons [0] and [3], turn on the power.

The QS will come on showing Program 01 of Preset Bank 1, with the “*” flag showing in the display and no Program Name. This is the Program Mode edit buffer, set to the default settings. Re-initializing will also reset all Global parameters to their default settings, and will initialize all edit buffers so that all Mix and Program parameters are reset to their default settings. However, none of the Programs or Mixes are changed when re-initializing the unit. You can proceed to edit, then [STORE] at any Program location you like.
