2.3.2 The Bend Pad
The Bend Pad is located in the bottom left corner of the QuNexus. It acts similarly to a pitch
wheel. When playing the keyboard, if you are holding down a note, pressing the Bend pad will
bend the pitch of the note. Shift pressure on the Bend Pad from side to side to bend up and
down.
When using a Preset that uses Channel Rotation the Bend Pad sends out on all active
Channels. If no keys are held down it will send out on the main starting Channel. See the
Channel Rotation Chapter
for more information.
The bend range is in part determined by the software or hardware device used for output but is
also set according to the Presets. It is editable in the QuNexus Editor and in Live Edit Mode.
See the
Factory Presets
chapter for information about what the Bend Range is for each Preset.
See the
Bend Range
Chapter and the
Live Edit Mode
Chapter for more information about
adjusting the Bend Range.
2.3.3 The Shift / Preset Button
The Shift / Preset Button (shown to the right) is used for 2 different
purposes: to get into Live Edit Mode and to get into Preset Select Mode.
Hold down the Shift Button for approximately two and a half seconds to
enter Live Edit Mode. For more information about
Live Edit Mode
see
chapter 2.5. Tap the Preset Button to enter Preset Select Mode.
2.3.3.1 Selecting Presets
There are four Preset slots on QuNexus. To select different presets tap the Shift / Preset button
on the left side of the QuNexus. The LEDs on the keyboard will swipe to indicate that you are in
Preset Select Mode. Then one of the four lettered buttons will light up to indicate which Preset is
currently selected (A, B, C, or D). Next tap one of the four buttons to choose a different Preset.
Upon making a selection the LEDs on the keyboard will swipe again to indicate that you are
leaving Preset Select Mode and entering the chosen preset.
