Alesis QSR 64 manual Auditioning Mix Play Mode, Selecting Mix Banks

Your First Session: Chapter 2

AUDITIONING MIX PLAY MODE

Mix Play Mode allows you to assign a Program to each of the 16 MIDI channels. This makes it easy to create multitimbral setups for use with an external MIDI sequencer. Additionally, a MIX can be used to “layer” sounds together, or “split” your keyboard in a number of ways, or any combination of these. There are many different ways to program a Mix. For more about Mix Play Mode, refer to Chapter 5. For more about connecting the QSR to a MIDI sequencer, see Chapter 3.

➀Press the [MIX] button.

The [MIX] button and the MIX indicator in the display will light. The Mix will be whatever was selected when last in Mix mode (Mix number 00 – 99).

➁Select a Mix using the [VALUE] knob.

The large number in the upper-left section of the display will indicate the currently selected Mix number. When you scroll past 99, the counter will “roll-over” to Mix 00 of the following Bank. Likewise, if you scroll back before 00, it will roll back to Mix 99 of the preceeding Bank.

SELECTING MIX BANKS

The QSR provides five internal Banks containing 100 Mixes in each. The currently selected Bank will be shown in the display just below the name of the currently selected Mix’s name.

•Use the BANK SELECT [DOWN] and [UP] buttons to select a Bank (User, Preset 1

– 3, GenMIDI or any Card Banks, if present).

User and Preset Banks are described in detail in Chapter 4.
