QS6.1 Reference Manual
Part 7: EDITING MIXES
 takes you to the next level of editing power, showing you
how to change the preset Mixes and put together new ones of your own. It also
explains the parameters which give the QS6.1 its strength as a master MIDI
keyboard.
Part 8: EDITING PROGRAMS
 gets deep into the instrument. If you are interested in
pushing the QS6.1 synthesis engine to the max Ñ and itÕs a powerful engine, it
really is Ñ then youÕll want to study this section very closely.
Part 9: EXTRAS
 includes all sorts of fun and useful information that doesnÕt fit
neatly into the other sections. This is where to look for discussion of RAMcards,
Sound Bridge, the QS6.1 CD-ROM, and other things of general interest.
Part 10: APPENDICES
 contains reference material on service and maintenance,
troubleshooting, and the QS6.1Õs MIDI Implementation.

ONVENTIONS
All buttons, knobs, and switches on the QS6.1 are referred to in bracketed capital
letters that match the instrumentÕs actual markings. Here are some examples:
[
PROGRAM
] means the button to the right of the LCD that says ÒPROGRAMÓ on it.
[
 PAGE
] and [
PAGE
  ] refer to the two buttons on the left of the LCD that have
left-and-right cursors on them.
[CONTROLLER D
] is the slider on the right side of the slider grouping, with ÒDÓ
printed underneath.
[
00 PIANO
] refers to the leftmost button in the top row of numbered buttons.
Sometimes this will be shorthanded as [
00
], depending on whatÕs being discussed.
[
PITCH
] is the control wheel at the left side of the instrument.
And [
SUS PEDAL

NDEX
Indexes are useful in really big books. They are also useful when you already know
what you are looking for. Otherwise, though,they are kind of frustrating: ÒIt says
here that there are references to The Thing I Am Interested In on pages 16, 23, 28-31,
47, 57-62, and 113.  But which one of those has the bit IÕm looking for?Ó
We think having a really great Table Of Contents works much better. If you need to
find something, go to the ToC and see for yourself Ñ its clear, directive headings
tell you whatÕs in every section and subsection, making it easy for you to find your
way. And since the information is all in context, youÕll learn that much more about
your QS6.1 every time you look.
