UDITIONING
Mix Play Mode allows you to assign a Program to each of the 16 MIDI channels. This
makes it easy to create multitimbral setups for use with an external MIDI sequencer.
Additionally, a MIX can be used to "layer" sounds together, or "split" the keyboard in a

connecting the QS6 to a MIDI sequencer, see Chapter 3.
