] buttons serve two purposes. In Program Play Mode and Mix
Play Mode, they are used to select a MIDI channel from 1 to 16. In Program Play
Mode, they are used to select the basic MIDI channel the QSR will receive and
transmit MIDI messages on. In Mix Play Mode, they are used to select one of the 16
possible Channels for viewing and editing. For more information on MIDI and its
uses, see Chapters 8 and 9, and Appendix B.

VERVIEW
All parameter editing involves the same general procedure, with minor variations:
➀
Select an Edit Mode with the [EDIT] button.
Example: If [PROG] was lit, the [EDIT] button switches between two Edit Modes—one
for editing the Program’s Sound layers(Program Edit Mode), and the other for editing
the Effects (Effects Edit Mode). If [MIX] was lit, the [EDIT] button switches between
three Edit Modes—one for editing the Mix’s parameters (Mix Edit Mode), one for editing
the Programs themselves (Program Edit Mode), and the last for editing the Effects
(Effects Edit Mode).
➁
If in Program Edit mode, select a sound (1 through 4) by turning the [VALUE
knob. If in Effects Edit mode, select a send (1 through 4) by turning the [VALUE
knob. If in Mix Edit mode, use the [
▲
MIDI CH
▲
] buttons to select a
channel (1 through 16); the selected channel will flash on and off in the lower
section of the display.
➂
Select a function (voice, level, pitch, etc.), by first pressing the [CURSOR
▲
]
button to advance the cursor in the display to the function field (if in Program
Edit or Effects Edit mode; in Mix Edit mode, the function field is automatically
selected upon pressing [EDIT]), and then turning the [VALUE] knob to select the
function.
➃
Select the appropriate page for the parameter you want to edit by first pressing
the [CURSOR
▲
] button to advance the cursor in the display to the parameter
field (in the middle of the display), and then turning the [VALUE] knob to select
the parameter.
The upper-right section of the display will indicate the currently selected page number.
Each page provides a different parameter. The parameter’s name will appear in the middle
section of the display.
➄
Change the parameter value by first pressing the [CURSOR
▲
] button to
advance the cursor in the display to the value field (in the middle-right section of
the display), and then turning the [VALUE] knob to select the value.
