RE-INITIALIZING

If your unit behaves erratically or “freezes”, the first step is to power down the unit. and power it back up again. Disconnect any cables connected to the MIDI IN jack, and make sure that a sequencer or keyboard is not sending messages to the QSR that would make it behave erratically (such as a long stream of pitch bend messages on 16 channels simultaneously). If these steps do not solve the problem, you must re- initialize the software

To re-initialize the QSR, hold down both [ CURSOR ] buttons while turning on the power. This will reset all Global parameters to their default settings, and will initialize all edit buffers so that all Mix, Program and Effects parameters are reset to their default settings. However, none of the Programs, Mixes, or Effects are changed when re-initializing the unit.
