Part 5: MIDI
PROGRAM ASSIGN FOR EACH MIDI CHANNEL
Assign Programs to the 16 channels of the Mix by using the [
PAGE] and [PAGE
] buttons to select a channel (the silkscreening also identifies those as the [MIX CHANNEL PROGRAM SELECT] buttons). Then use the [0] – [9] and [00] – [120] buttons to select a Program for that channel. If desired, you can use the [
BANK] and [BANK
] buttons to select a Program from any of the internal or card banks.
SENDING AND RECEIVING BANK SELECT MESSAGES
The QS will send and respond to MIDI Bank Select messages in the form of MIDI Controller 0. The value of Controller 0 determines which bank is to be recalled (User, Preset
MIDI PrgSl: OFF
The QS will neither transmit nor receive Bank Select messages or Program change commands with this setting.
MIDI PrgSl: ON
Reception: Program Mode. If a Bank Select (controller 0) message with a value 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 “wrapped around” and will start through the Banks order again. This means that a Controller 0 message with a value of 16 or 32 will recall the User Bank, while a value of 17 or 33 will call up Preset Bank 1.
Reception: Mix Mode. Same as above, except the Mix itself will not change Banks. The word “EDITED” will appear in Mix Play mode screen, because the Mix has been altered to point to another bank on one of its MIDI channels. But you have to look inside the Mix to see that the Bank change occurred.
Transmission: Program Mode. If a new Bank is selected using the [BANK] buttons, a
Bank Change message will be transmitted. See Reception: Program Mode for a description of which values will be sent for each Bank as it is selected.
Transmission: Mix Mode. If a new Bank is selected and any of the channels within the Mix have their MIDI Out parameters set to ON (Mix Edit Mode, Keyboard/MIDI function, Page 2), a Bank Select message (followed by a Program change) will be transmitted for each of those MIDI channels.
In Mix Program Select Mode (where you choose the Programs within the Mix), any channel which has its MIDI Out set to ON will transmit Bank and Program changes from within the Mix, just like in Program Mode.
