Overview

Overview
Q-Keys offer an additional playback device. Memories and groups assigned to Q-Keys can
be faded in additive or crossfade modes. [PILE ON] controls the playback mode.
Q-Keys are located on the Numeric Soft Keys in Q-Key mode. One hundred Q-Keys are
available.
The default control priority for Q-Keys is after controllers (or Submaster Wing) and before
C/D. Of course, you can change the default control priority at any time.
Q-Keys are stored in Snaps. The second page of the Snap exam shows the Q-Key
assignments.

Assignments to Q-Keys

In Q-Key mode, up to 100 memories or groups can be assigned to the Numeric Soft keys.
Memories or groups that are assigned to Q-Keys fade up and down.
Group assignments include any channels and spots that are selected (appear in red) in the
editor.
New assignments bump out previous assignments in most cases. If the current assignment
is a memory, assigning a new memory or a group bumps out the current assignment. If the
current memory is a group, assigning a memory bumps out the current assignment. The
exception to the rule is: if the current assignment is a grp, assigning spot/s and channel/s
adds the new assignment to the current grp assignment.

Assigning memories

Single memories are assigned to a single Q-Keys. Groups of memories and ranges of
memories can be assigned to a sequential range of Q-Keys.
