Don't confuse Instruments with MIDI Channels. Although you can set up a Multi that uses
separate MIDI Channels in ascending order for all Instruments, it can also be that a couple or
all Instruments are set to the same MIDI Channel. Please read the description below to see how
the MIDI Channel for a particular Instrument is set.

Instrument settings

The instrument parameters specify the individual settings of each instrument in a Multi Program. You
can edit the audio output, transpose function or tuning, key range and velocity range for a selected
sound. Additionally the Multimode offers various settings for Midi functions. This allows the Q
Keyboard to be used as the perfect Masterkeyboard. In the appendix of this manual on page 160 you
will find a graphical overview of the Q's Midi Signalflow.
Sound Bank and Number
Each Instrument points to one Sound in memory. The display shows the Sound name in the upper row
and the Sound bank and number in the lower row as follows:
☞
To select a Sound for an Instrument:
• Use the left display dial to select Bank A...D from which the Sound program is taken.
• Use the right display dial to select the Instrument's Sound program 001...100.
In a Multi-Program you can use only one Drum Map at a time. When you're assigning a Drum
Map to an instrument, any other instrument using a Drum Map will be restored to the normal
program assignment.
