EYBOARD
The Keyboard/MIDI Function (press [90]) allows you to turn on and off the MIDI and Keyboard
settings for the selected MIDI channel.
MIDI Input (On or Off)
This determines whether the selected channel will respond to incoming MIDI messages.
MIDI Output (On or Off)
This determines whether or not the selected channel will transmit MIDI messages.
Keyboard (On or Off)
This determines whether or not the selected channel will be playable from the keyboardof the
QS6.1 itself.
These three parameters interact to turn your QS6.1 into a powerful MIDI controller. WeÕve already
mentioned that it can transmit on 16 MIDI channels simultaneously from different zones of the
keyboard (which can overlap, if you want). But thereÕs more. A lot more.
For example: You can send volume, panning, and transposition information to an external MIDI
sound source if you set both MIDI Input and Keyboard to OFF for that channel.
If this sounds like something you would like to learn more about, why not spend some time going
through Part 5: MIDI? We've got the information laid out for you there.
