The Play Modes
We’ve already introduced you to these modes in the last chapter. This is
where you’ll normally be when you’re playing your QS.
Program Mode
In this mode, you can play the QS’s various Programs one at a time.
You’ll probably be in this mode most of the time. The QS contains 512
Preset and 128 User Programs. To get into Program Mode, press the
[PROGRAM] button.
Mix Mode
In this mode, you can play up to 16 Programs at the same time. You can
use this mode to create keyboard splits or keyboard layers, or for
multitimbral sequencing. The QS contains 400 Preset Mixes and 100
User Mixes. To get into Mix Mode, press the [MIX] button.
What the Other Buttons Do
When in Mix or Program Mode, the buttons have the following
functions:
• The numbered buttons select different Programs and Mixes.
• The [VALUE] buttons step through the Programs and Mixes.
• The [PAGE] buttons change the MIDI channel.
• The [BANK] buttons step through the Banks.
