Alesis QS7.1, QS8.1 manual Entering Effects Edit Mode from Program Mode

Part 6: Editing Effects

ENTERING EFFECTS EDIT MODE FROM PROGRAM MODE

If you are in Program Mode and wish to edit the Effect of the Program you are currently listening to, press the [EDIT SELECT] button twice.

The first press will take you into Program Edit Mode; you want to go past that, which is why you have to press the button a second time.

Once you are in Effects Edit Mode, the display will change to look something like this (the actual parameter you see in your display will be the same as the last Effect parameter you edited, whatever that was):

To exit and return to Program Mode, press [PROGRAM].

If you’d rather go to Mix Mode instead, press [MIX].

Continuing to press [EDIT SELECT] here will switch you back and forth between Program Edit Mode and Effects Edit Mode. This is a handy convenience when creating and editing, since Program parameters and Effects parameters can have a big effect on each other in terms of the way a specific Program ultimately sounds when played.

ENTERING EFFECTS EDIT MODE FROM MIX MODE

If you are in Mix Mode and wish to edit the Effect of the Mix you are currently listening to, press the [EDIT SELECT] button three times.

The first press will take you into Mix Edit Mode. The second will take you into Program Edit Mode (so you can tweak the Programs that are part of this Mix). And the third press will finally get you into Effects Edit Mode.

Once you are there, the display will change to look something like this (as mentioned just above, you may see a different parameter than this depending on whether you’ve previously worked with or explored this mode):

Continuing to press [EDIT SELECT] here will cycle you through Mix Edit Mode, Program Edit Mode, and Effects Edit Mode (in that order).
