    Using The Modulation Sources Each Program has the Modulation Wheel assigned to the most logical parameter. For example, the Modulation Wheel may be assigned to Vibrato on a Brass sound and Reverb Mix on a Piano sound. The A-D Controller Sliders also transmit controller data which can affect local synthesizer functions, MIDI data, or both. This allows you to alter the currently recalled Program (or Mix), or control external MIDI devices using the QS as a master controller.
