Alesis QS7.1, QS8.1 manual Edit Mode Buttons

Part 2: Overview

THE EDIT MODE BUTTONS

There are 6 buttons grouped together at the immediate left of the display:

∙[▲ VALUE]. When you are editing, this button increments the selected value. At all other times it steps you forward through the available Programs or Mixes, depending on which mode you’ve selected.

∙[VALUE ▼]. Same as [▲ VALUE], except that it decrements values and steps backward through Programs and Mixes.

∙[EDIT SELECT]. This button takes you into Edit Mode. To get back out, press either [MIX] or [PROGRAM].

∙[STORE]. A true multi-purpose control. It is involved in making MIDI sys-ex transfers, in saving and loading both User and Card Banks, in copying Effects patches, and when initializing individual Sounds within a Program. When editing, this is the button you’d press to store an altered Program or Mix to a selected location in the QS’s memory. In normal performance it gives you a quick way to copy the current Program or Mix to a new location.

∙[ PAGE]. When editing, this button cycles you backward through the available “pages” for the current parameter (there’s an indicator in the upper right of the LCD that tells you what page you are on). In Program Mode, this button changes your QS’s basic MIDI channel. In Mix Mode, it is used to display the Programs assigned to different MIDI channels, so that you can change these assignments on the fly.

∙[PAGE ]. Same as just above, except that it cycles you forward instead of backward.
