➀
Press the [PROG] button to select Program Play Mode.
The [PROG] button and the PROG indicator in the display will light. You can now play
the QSR from an external MIDI keyboard; the Program will be whatever was selected
when last in Program mode (Program number 00 –127).
➁
Select a Program using the [VALUE] knob.
The large number in the upper-left section of the display will indicate the currently
selected Program number. When you scroll past 127, the counter will “roll-over” to
Program 00 of the following Bank. Likewise, if you scroll back before 00, it will roll back
to Program 127 of the preceeding Bank.

name.
• Use the BANK SELECT [DOWN] and [UP] buttons to select a Bank (User, Preset 1
