Alesis QSR 64 manual Enabling General Midi Mode, Storing An Edited Mix

Your First Session: Chapter 2

STORING AN EDITED MIX

Once you have made changes to a Mix, you will need to store the Mix into the User Bank; that is, if you want to keep the changes you have made. The User Bank is designed to hold up to 100 (00 – 99) of your custom-made Mixes. Whenever you store an edited Mix, the User Bank is automatically selected. All you have to do is select a Program location (00 – 127) within the User Bank to store the edited Mix into. However, if an SRAM Sound Card is inserted into the Sound Card Slot on the rear panel of the QSR, you may select any of the available Banks on the Sound Card to save the edited Mix into.

➀Press [STORE].

This selects Store Mode. The [STORE] button will flash, and the display will look like this:

Save Mix to

	USER	12
	↑	↑
(Mix Bank)		(Mix Number)

The Mix Number will be identical to the last Mix number selected.

➁Optional: If a Sound Card is inserted, Use the BANK SELECT [UP] button to select a Bank on the Sound Card.

➂Use the [VALUE] knob to select a Mix location (00 – 99) within the selected Bank.

➃Press [STORE] to save the Mix into the selected location.

The Mix has now been stored, and the display will revert back to whatever was shown before [STORE] was pressed the first time.

NOTE: Pressing [MIX] before pressing [STORE] the second time (step ➃ ) will cause the QSR to exit Store mode without saving changes to the edited Mix.

ENABLING GENERAL MIDI MODE

If you are using a General MIDI sequencer, and/or playing a sequence that is programmed to take advantage of General MIDI, turn the “General MIDI” function in the QSR on.

➀Press [EDIT], then press BANK SELECT [UP] (also labeled as [GLOBAL]).

The display will now be in Global Edit Mode.

➁Turn the [VALUE] knob to select page 3 (the page number appears in the upper- right corner of the display).

➂ Press the [CURSOR ] button.

This selects the General MIDI parameter in the display.

➃Turn the [VALUE] knob clockwise.

This turns on General MIDI mode, and automatically puts you into Mix Play Mode with Mix 00 of Preset Bank 4 selected.

For more information about General MIDI, refer to the MIDI Supplement in Appendix B.
