The MIDI Out Mode determines whether the MIDI [OUTPUT] connector will
transmit MIDI information originating from the QSR (when set to “OUT”), or will
“echo” MIDI information that is received at the MIDI [INPUT] connector (when set to
“THRU”).
If the I/O parameter (see previous page) is set to either “Mac”, “PC 38.4kbaud” or
“PC31.25kbaud”, the MIDI Out parameter can only be set to “OFF” or “THRU”. This
is because unless the I/O parameter is set to “MIDI”, the MIDI [OUTPUT] connector
may only function as a MIDI “Thru” connector for the connected computer, and can
only be switched off.

This determines which MIDI channel will play all those channels in the selected Mix
whose Group parameter is set to “On”. When in Mix Mode, you have the option to
transmit on several MIDI channels at once, or to temporarily isolate certain channels
within a Mix.
1–16. When the Group Mix Channel parameter is set between 1 and 16, the number it
is set to determines the single MIDI channel which, when MIDI information is
received on it, will play the channels in the selected Mix which have their Group
parameter turned on.
OFF. In this mode, the individual channels used by the selected Mix will only be
triggered by MIDI information received on its designated MIDI channel (Example: the
sound on channel 1 will only respond to information received on MIDI channel 1, the
sound on channel 2 will only respond to information received on MIDI channel 2,
etc.), regardless of whether each channel’s Group parameter has been turned on or
off. However, the MIDI In parameter for each channel must be turned on in order for
that channel to respond to incoming MIDI information on its own channel.
