Page 7 of Global Edit Mode lets you enable and disable General MIDI Mode. If this
parameter is turned on, you will immediately be taken out of Global Edit Mode and
into Mix Mode, and Mix 00 of Preset Bank 4 will automatically be selected. For more
information about General MIDI, refer to the MIDI Supplement in Appendix B.

The QS will respond to a universal MIDI Sysex message to turn General MIDI mode
on or off. Some (but not all) General MIDI sequences will have a Sysex message at
the beginning (bar 1) which tells the receiving device to go into its General MIDI
mode. If this message is sent, no matter where you happen to be on the QS, General
MIDI mode will be enabled, and Mix 00 of Preset Bank 4 will automatically be
selected.

The QS allows you to assign up to four general purpose MIDI controllers. These
controllers are assigned a letter, AÐD. These are directly linked to the
CONTROLLER
[
A
], [
B
], [
C
] and [
D
] sliders on the QSÕs front panel. They are also
linked to specific MIDI controllers which can be received from another synth or
sequencer.
Page 8 through 11 of Global Edit mode lets you choose which MIDI controllers (0 to
120) to assign as Controllers A, B, C and D. For a listing of all MIDI controllers and
their designations, see page 127 in the Appendix B: MIDI Supplement.

Like the MIDI Controllers AÐD, the two footpedal controls (Pedal 1 and Pedal 2)
can be assigned to a MIDI controller. Although these two pedals are linked to
specific MIDI controllers which can be received from another synth or sequencer,
Pedal 1 is directly linked to the [
PEDAL 1
] jack on the QSÕs rear panel.
Pages 12 and 13 of Global Edit mode lets you assign which MIDI controllers (0 to
120) that Pedal 1 and Pedal 2 will be transmitted as over MIDI Out.
Simultaneously, if the same MIDI controller is received it will control any
modulations that use either Pedal 1 or Pedal 2. Page 12 lets you select the controller
for Pedal 1, while page 13 lets you select the controller for Pedal 2.
When recording into a MIDI sequencer, be careful not to accidentally assign either
Pedal 1 or 2 to a controller which may already be used by another control (like
MIDI Volume/controller 7, or Mod Wheel/controller 1).
