MIDI Supplement: Appendix B

There are three MIDI registered parameters which the QuadraSynth plus will recognize in Mix Play Mode when General MIDI Mode is enabled. These are:

MIDI Registered Parameter 0 (Pitch Bend Sensitivity): This will directly effect the Pitch Wheel Range parameter of all four Sounds of the Program on the received MIDI Channel of the Mix. If the Channel is selected using the MIDI [] and [] buttons, the word “Edited” will appear next to the Program Number in the display if this parameter is received. However, if you are viewing the Pitch Wheel Range parameter in the display (Program Edit Mode, Pitch Function, Page 2, Quad Knob [2]), the display will not be updated to reflect the new setting. If you go to another Page or Function and then return to it, the display will now reflect the updated setting.

MIDI Registered Parameter 1 (Fine Tune): This will directly effect the Detune Amount parameter of all four Sounds of the Program on the received MIDI Channel of the Mix. If this MIDI registered parameter is received, the QuadraSynth will automatically make sure that all four Sounds of the Program have their Detune Type parameter set to “Normal” (Program Edit Mode, Pitch Function, Page 1, Quad Knob [4]). If the Channel is selected using the MIDI [] and [] buttons, the word “Edited” will appear next to the Program Number in the display if this parameter is received. However, if you are viewing the Detune Amount parameter in the display (Program Edit Mode, Pitch Function, Page 1, Quad Knob [3]), the display will not be updated to reflect the new setting. If you go to another Page or Function and then return to it, the display will now reflect the updated setting.

MIDI Registered Parameter 2 (Coarse Tune):This will directly effect the Tune Semitone parameter of all four Sounds of the Program on the received MIDI Channel of the Mix. If the Channel is selected using the MIDI [] and [] buttons, the word “Edited” will appear next to the Program Number in the display if this parameter is received. However, if you are viewing the Tune Semitone parameter in the display (Program Edit Mode, Pitch Function, Page 1, Quad Knob [1]), the display will not be updated to reflect the new setting. If you go to another Page or Function and then return to it, the display will now reflect the new setting.
