Alesis QSR 64 manual Midi OUT, MIX Group Channel

	Global Settings: Chapter 8
MIDI OUT	Page 12

The MIDI Out Mode determines whether the MIDI [OUTPUT] connector will

transmit MIDI information originating from the QSR (when set to “OUT”), or will “echo” MIDI information that is received at the MIDI [INPUT] connector (when set to “THRU”).

If the I/O parameter (see previous page) is set to either “Mac”, “PC 38.4kbaud” or

“PC31.25kbaud”, the MIDI Out parameter can only be set to “OFF” or “THRU”. This is because unless the I/O parameter is set to “MIDI”, the MIDI [OUTPUT] connector

may only function as a MIDI “Thru” connector for the connected computer, and can only be switched off.

MIX GROUP CHANNEL Page 13

This determines which MIDI channel will play all those channels in the selected Mix whose Group parameter is set to “On”. When in Mix Mode, you have the option to transmit on several MIDI channels at once, or to temporarily isolate certain channels within a Mix.

1–16.When the Group Mix Channel parameter is set between 1 and 16, the number it is set to determines the single MIDI channel which, when MIDI information is received on it, will play the channels in the selected Mix which have their Group parameter turned on.

OFF. In this mode, the individual channels used by the selected Mix will only be triggered by MIDI information received on its designated MIDI channel (Example: the sound on channel 1 will only respond to information received on MIDI channel 1, the sound on channel 2 will only respond to information received on MIDI channel 2, etc.), regardless of whether each channel’s Group parameter has been turned on or off. However, the MIDI In parameter for each channel must be turned on in order for that channel to respond to incoming MIDI information on its own channel.
