Editing Mixes: Chapter 5

CONTROLLERS

The Controllers function (press [100]) lets you turn on and off the various MIDI controllers that can affect the selected MIDI channel. The following four parameters determine whether or not specific types of MIDI information will be received or transmitted, and are set separately for each Channel in the Mix. These, however, are dependent on how each Channel has its KEYBOARD/MIDI parameters set (see the previous section).

Pitch-bend and Modulation Wheels (On or Off) Page 1

This determines whether or not the selected channel will transmit and receive pitch-bend and modulation (controller 1) MIDI information.

Aftertouch (On or Off) Page 2

This determines whether or not the selected channel will transmit and receive aftertouch MIDI information.

Sustain Pedal (On or Off) Page 3

This determines whether or not the selected channel will transmit and receive sustain pedal (controller 64) MIDI information.

Controllers (On or Off) Page 4

This determines whether or not the selected channel will allow Controllers A–D and Pedals 1 & 2 to transmit and receive MIDI controller information (reception only for Pedal 2, since there’s no Pedal 2 input on the QS). You can assign which MIDI controller numbers they are linked to in Global Edit Mode, Pages 8 through 13. See Part 4 BASIC OPERATION for more information.
