CHOOSING A CONTROL PANEL STRUMPLATE VOICE

The Q Chord is equipped with a unique feature called a
Strumplate.  This Strumplate will respond instantly to the touch of
your thumb or fingers.  Whether you press a chord button, or
play along with the Demo button or Song Cartridge, the four
octave range of the Strumplate is always in tune.
There are a total of 100 Strumplate voices to choose from.

ADJUSTING THE  STRUMPLATES VOLUME  CONTROL

Observe the Strumplate Voice LED light to distinguish which
bank of voices is selected.
The indicator LED will show which left or right bank is selected.
For our example the left LED indicator is selected which means
the left bank of voices is selected.

2

Press the Strumplate Volume Up button until all 10 light bar
segments are lit.
This is maximum strumplate volume.  If you want more volume
make sure to turn the Master Volume knob all the way to the
right.

Q TIP:  Fine Tuning Volume  control. There are four degrees of
sensitivity for each LED light bar segment. Every time you press
the up or down volume control button you will change the
volume level. Every fourth time you press one volume control
button you will increase or decrease the LED light bar segment
by one light bar.
