Note about Expression Pedals
: Not all Expression Pedals work well. Some are noisier than
others. Yamaha Pedals are known to misbehave because they don’t function as a voltage
divider. We recommend the Roland EV-5.
Being aware of the data sources that the QuNexus provides will help in understanding how
QuNexus uses this data and how it is converted to MIDI and CV. The next chapter will let you
know how the sources are used for each Factory Preset that comes on the QuNexus.
Factory Presets
Preset A (Basic)
- The Basic preset functions as a traditional MIDI keyboard and will work with
any MIDI-enabled software. Though some of the more exciting functions are turned off, the
basic preset outputs notes with a variable velocity and is a great starting point when working
with QuNexus!
●
MIDI outputs on Channel 1 through USB and MIDI Expander.
●
Velocity is on.
●
Local LED Control is on.
●
Channel Rotation is off.
●
Pitch Bend Range is set to 1 semitone.
●
Controller Layer is not active on any keys.
●
Control Voltage (CV) output and input are enabled with pitch, gate, and bend all being
sent out of the CV outputs.
Preset B (Pressure & Tilt)
- The Press and Tilt preset was designed for a wide variety of
synths, apps, and plugins with pitch bend and modulation functionality. This preset maps
QuNexus’ key tilt to pitch bend, and pressure sensitivity to the modulation parameter in most
synths. Right out of the box, most iOS music apps -- like Animoog, Sunrizer and Magellan -- will
work with this preset, allowing for a more exciting and expressive playing experience!
●
MIDI outputs on Channel 1 through USB and MIDI Expander.
●
Velocity is on.
●
Local LED Control is on.
●
Channel Rotation is off.
●
Tilt is mapped to Pitch Bend for all keys.
●
Pitch Bend Range is set to 2 semitones.
●
Pressure is mapped to CC#1 (Mod).
●
Controller Layer is not active on any keys.
●
Control Voltage (CV) output and input are enabled with pitch, gate, bend, and pressure
all being sent out of the CV outputs.
