VELOCITY LOCK: Locks the velocity of QX61's TRIGGER PADS so they send out a constant velocity:
1. Press the desired TRIGGER PAD at the desired velocity. (The velocity will appear in the LCD.)
2. Press the KEYBOARD's VEL LOCK key. "LOC" will appear on the LCD, indicating the TRIGGER PADS'
velocity is locked. (To unlock it, repeat Step 2 so "OFF" appears on the LCD.)
BANK LSB/MSB: Sets the LSB (Least Significant Byte) and MSB (Most Significant Byte):
1. Press the KEYBOARD's MSB or LSB key.
2. Use the KEYBOARD's numeric keys to enter the MSB or LSB (0-127).
3. Press the KEYBOARD's ENTER key to confirm your choice.
Note: This is used when sending Program Change messages from the left panel parameter buttons.
DATA 1-3: Stores parameter values, all of which will be sent when a MIDI message is assigned to a pad, transport
button, slider, etc. For descriptions of these messages and their parameters, see the included MIDI MESSAGE
CHARTS:
1. Press the KEYBOARD's DATA 1, DATA 2, or DATA 3 key.
2. Move the control whose parameter values you want to edit. These controls include the DATA SLIDERS,
KNOBS, TRIGGER PADS, PITCH BEND WHEEL, MODULATION WHEEL, TRANSPORT CONTROLS, and
SUSTAIN PEDAL (sold separately), if one is connected.
3. Use the KEYBOARD's numeric keys to enter the value for that parameter. See the MIDI MESSAGE CHARTS
for a list of parameters and their numbers.
4. Press the KEYBOARD's ENTER key to confirm your choice.
MIDI OUT: QX61 has two 5-pin MIDI OUT ports – COMPUTER MIDI OUT and KEYBOARD MIDI OUT. You can set
QX61 to send MIDI data out either, both, or neither of these ports.
1. Press the KEYBOARD's MIDI OUT key to toggle through the available options.
• When "USB" is shown in the LCD, MIDI data sent from a computer (connected to QX61's USB port) will
be sent out the COMPUTER MIDI OUT.
• When "KEYBOARD" is shown in the LCD, QX61 will send MIDI data out its KEYBOARD MIDI OUT.
• When both "USB" and "KEYBOARD" are shown in the LCD, MIDI data will be sent out both 5-pin MIDI
ports. The COMPUTER MIDI OUT will send out any MIDI messages sent to QX61 from a computer
(connected to QX61's USB port), and any performance on QX61 will send its own MIDI messages out the
KEYBOARD MIDI OUT.
When neither "USB" nor "KEYBOARD" is shown in the LCD, both COMPUTER MIDI OUT and
•
KEYBOARD MIDI OUT ports are disabled.
2. Press ADVANCED when finished.
STORE: Stores QX61's controls in a preset:
1. Press the KEYBOARD's STORE key. "STORE" will flash on the LCD along with the current preset.
2. Use the KEYBOARD's numeric keys to enter a preset (01-20).
3. Press the KEYBOARD's ENTER key to confirm your choice.
CURVE: Allows you to adjust the velocity curves of the TRIGGER PADS and KEYBOARD. (PA- PAD, Bd-
KEYBOARD, 1-8 different curves)
1. Press the KEYBOARD's CURVE key. The LCD will flash the current velocity curve.
2. Use the KEYBOARD's numeric keys to enter the new velocity curve number.
3. Press the KEYBOARD's ENTER key to confirm your choice.
ZONES
QX61's note range can be divided into three Zones, which you can assign. These Zones can be mutually exclusive or
overlap (or even be identical). Aside from the keyboard, the Pitch wheel and Mod wheel can be assigned per zone.
Zones allow you to play different or overlapping parts of the KEYBOARD over different MIDI channels simultaneously.
For instance, you could send the lower register of the KEYBOARD over Channel 1, the upper register over Channel
2, and the entire KEYBOARD over the global channel.
To assign the channel of a Zone, see ZONE CHANNEL above.
To assign which keys are in a Zone:
1. Press ZONE RNG. "ZONE RANGE" will flash on the LCD. The LCD will also display the lowest and highest
MIDI notes that define that Zone.
2. Use the left three TRANSPORT CONTROL buttons (labeled ZONE 1-3) to select which Zone (or Zones) you
will be defining. The selected Zones will flash in the LCD.
3. Press the KEYBOARD key corresponding to the lowest note that will be in that Zone.
4. Press the KEYBOARD key corresponding to the highest note that will be in that Zone.
5. Press ZONE RNG to turn off ZONE RANGE mode. The range of the new Zone (or Zones) is now between (and
including) the keys you pressed in Steps 3-4. Note: Any Zone can be assigned to any range of keys regardless
of the other Zones. You may assign Zones that overlap on the KEYBOARD. Also, it is not necessary for Zone 1
to be the leftmost Zone and Zone 3 to be the rightmost.
