B.) Basic Operations - Quasimidi Technox Owner's Manual

2.) Installation
b.) Basic The TECHNOX offers two different operation modes:
operations
1. Performance mode
The first mode is called "Performance mode". This mode is normally used when playing the TECHNOX
with your master-keyboard or synthesizer. A "Performance" combines different single-sounds and FX-
settings which all may be stored into the memory of your TECHNOX. This mode gives you a first impression
of the manifold sound capabilities of your new synth.
2. Sequencer multi-mode
Within this mode the TECHNOX can be controlled on all 16 MIDI channels simultaneously. So - complete
songs may be reproduced with a sequencers. In most cases this is the mode you normally work with.
When switching on the TECHNOX for the first time, it's in "Performance mode". After turning on the
machine, you'll get the following message on the display:
Now, when you press a key on your MIDI keyboard, you'll hear the TECHNOX playing the selected
Performance sound. You can change the Performances by using the two "Alpha dials" (these big black
knobs in the center of the TECHNOX!). With the "PART/BANK" keys you can switch between ROM and
RAM performances. Each bank consists of 50 different performance sounds which are listed in the
appendix of this manual.
Don't care about the MIDI channel of your MIDI keyboard for the moment. Your "virginal" TECHNOX is
set by default to MIDI Omni-mode where it receives MIDI data on all 16 channels. But, don't confuse it
with the Sequencer-mode: it actually receives the SAME information on all 16 channels! If you want to
use the performance sounds in your sequencing environment, you just have to switch off the MIDI Omni-
mode. The informations of how to switch-off the Omni-mode and how to change the MIDI-channels are
described in chapter 14, pg. 27 ff. For the better understanding of the following chapters, and to get a
short overview over the different functions of the TECHNOX, you should read this - and the following -
page of the manual. The illustration shows you the front panel of the TECHNOX:
