Playing Back Q-Key Assignments

Playback Q-Key assignments by pressing, an NSK in Q-Key mode. This initiates a fade of
the Q-Key assignment.
To fade Q-Key assignments:
•
Press on the Q-Key to initiate a fade from 0% to Full. The fade times are according to
recorded memory time.
•
When the Q-Key assignment is at Full, pressing the key fades the assignment to 0%.
•
Pressing a key while a fade is in progress reverses the direction of the fade.

Enabling/disabling Pile On

[PILE ON] determines the playback mode for Q-Keys. It toggles to enable or disable the
additive (Pile On) playback mode.
When [PILE ON] is enabled (LED on), Q-Keys work in additive mode. Each press fades
up the selected assignment, adding it to the currently active Q-Keys. Example: the
assignment on Q-Key 12 is currently active on stage. Press Q-Key 25. The assignment on
Q-Key 25 fades in. Now both the assignments on Q-Key 12 and 25 are on stage.
When [PILE ON] is disabled (LED off) only one Q-Key assignment can be active. Each
time you press a Q-Key, it initiates a crossfade between the incoming Q-Key assignment
and the Q-Key assignment that is currently on stage. Example: The assignment on Q-Key
12 is currently on stage. Press Q-Key 25. The assignment on 25 fades in, while the
assignment on 12 fades out.
When there are more than one Q-Key assignment already active disabling [PILE ON], the
rules of behavior are as follows:
•
If a number of Q-Keys are active and the next Q-Key pressed is one of the currently
active Q-Keys, the memory or grp assigned will remain on stage and all the other
active Q-Key output will fade out.
•
If the Q-Key pressed is not active, the assignment will fade in and all the currently
active Q-Key output will fade out.
