Category Search
The Q offers a special function to enable easy searches for sounds of similar categories. If you’re
searching for pad sounds, only these sounds will be displayed as you scan the storage banks with the
red dial. To accomplish this each sound contains 4 extra digits in the sound name to define its sound
category. Further details about how to change a sound’s category are described in the chapter
„Storing programs“ on page 36.

Searching for a special sound categroy:
1. Hold down the Shift button
2. Chose a category with the red dial. The following message shows up on the display:
[Sel. Category:Pad ]
3. Release the Shift button.
4. Use the red dial to scroll through the patches of the selected category.
The following categories are available: Arp, Atmo, Bass, Bell, Brs, Drum, Ext, FX, Init, Keys, Lead,
Pad, Perc, Pluk, Poly, Seq, Strg, Voc and Wave. By using the store function you can create own
categories. For more information refer to the chaper „Storing programs“ on page 36.

With the category search function activated, the Q scans its entire storage bank for only those
type of sounds. This can lead to short waiting periods.

Category Search doesn’t change any program numbers. It only filters out all patches not
belonging to the selected category. Scrolling through patches with this function is much faster
because only patches belonging to the selected category are visible.
