WHAT'S A BANK?
A Bank is a collection of 128 Programs and 100 Mixes. There are five internal Banks
available in the QS6.1, and even more can be accessed if you have put QCards or
RAMcards into one or both of the
[ PCMCIA EXPANSION CARD ] slots.
The different banks are:
USER
PRESET1
PRESET2
PRESET3
GenMIDI
Card A
[if in use; invisible if not]
Card B [if in use; invisible if not]
If a card has more than one Bank, the numbers will go up like so: CardA-1, CardA-
2, CardA-3, etc.
While playing Programs or Mixes, the current Bank is named in the second line of
the LCD display. To cycle through all the Banks that are available, press the
[BANK] buttons on the front panel. You can also change Banks by using standard
MIDI Bank Select commands (various values of Controller 0).
Two things to remember about Banks:
1) Each Bank contains its own unique collection of Programs and Mixes. This means
that Program 10 in PRESET1 is different from Program 10 in PRESET3É
although they may be similar if they belong to related Sound Groups (see below
for a quick explanation of Sound Groups).
2) A Mix can contain Programs from any Bank. This includes Banks which might
be on a QCard or an SRAM card. (If the Mix youÕve called up uses a card-based
Program, make sure the ProgramÕs card is in the right expansion slot. If you
have the wrong card in the slot, the Mix will call up the wrong Program. And if
you have no card in the slot at all, that part of the Mix wonÕt sound.)
