Alesis QuadraSynth Plus manual Auditioning Internal Programs, Selecting Banks

Your First Session With The QuadraSynth Plus: Chapter 2

Auditioning Internal Programs

¿Press the [PROGRAM] button to select Program Play Mode. You can now play the QuadraSynth Plus keyboard; the Program will be whatever was selected when last in Program mode (Program number 00 — 127).

¡Select a Program using any of these methods:

•Use the [-1] and [+1] buttons to step through the Programs one at a time.

•Use the [-10] and [+10] buttons to step through the Programs ten at a time.

•Hold the [PROGRAM] button and rotate Quad Knob [1].

•Use the DIRECT SELECT [1]—[0] buttons for direct entry. Leading zeroes must be entered for Programs 0 — 19. Example: Press [0] then [0] then [5] for Program 5; press [0] then [1] then [3] for Program 13. Only begin with [1] if you are selecting a Program from 100 — 127. If you start entering a number and change your mind, wait a few seconds and the

QuadraSynth Plus will revert to the previous Program number.
