Global Settings: Chapter 8
CHAPTER 8
GLOBAL SETTINGS
Global Edit Mode is where you will find several parameters which affect the entire instrument, such as overall master tuning, display contrast, controller settings, keyboard mode, edit mode and the 48 kHz input.
Editing Global Parameters
¿Press the [GLOBAL] button.
The display will change to Global Edit Mode, page 1 . The total number of pages (seven) is indicated in the lower left corner of the display. The currently selected page number will be underlined.
¡There are four parameters available for editing in Global Edit Page 1:
•Quad Knob [1] controls the display contrast.
•Quad Knob [2] enables General MIDI Mode and recalls Mix 00 of Preset
Bank 4.
•Quad Knob [3] controls the transposition, or pitch, of the keyboard.
•Quad Knob [4] controls the instrument’s overall master tuning.
¬Use the PAGE [♦] and [∅] buttons to scroll through the 7 pages of Global Mode.
The following sections describe in detail each of the parameters found in the seven Global Edit Mode pages.
LCD Contrast
In Page 1 of Global Edit Mode, Quad Knob [1] adjusts the LCD Display Contrast (00 to 121). Whenever the [GLOBAL] button is pressed, the display will always revert to Page 1 with the Display Contrast parameter selected.

General MIDI Mode
In Page 1 of Global Edit Mode, selecting Quad Button [2] and pressing VALUE [‾] enables General MIDI Mode. This will immediately take you out of Global Edit Mode and into Mix Mode, automatically selecting Mix 00 of Preset Bank 4. For more information about General MIDI, refer to the MIDI Supplement in Appendix B.
Enabling General MIDI Mode via MIDI
The QuadraSynth will respond to a universal MIDI Sysex message to turn General MIDI mode on or off. Some (but not all) General MIDI sequences will have a Sysex message at the beginning (bar 1) which tells the receiving device to go into its General MIDI mode.
