Alesis QX49 Guide D'utilisation Rapide page 5

CURVE: Allows you to adjust the velocity curves of the TRIGGER PADS and KNOBS.
1. Press the KEYBOARD's CURVE key. The LCD will flash the current velocity curve.
2. Use the KEYBOARD's numeric keys to enter the new velocity curve number.
3. Press the KEYBOARD's ENTER key to confirm your choice.
MIDI OUT: QX49 has two MIDI OUT ports – COMPUTER MIDI OUT and KEYBOARD MIDI OUT – which send out different
MIDI data. You can set QX49 to send MIDI data out either, both, or neither of these ports.
1. Press the KEYBOARD's MIDI OUT key to toggle through the available options.
• When "USB" is shown in the LCD, MIDI data sent from a computer (connected to QX49's USB port) will be sent
out the COMPUTER MIDI OUT.
• When "KEYBOARD" is shown in the LCD, QX49 will send MIDI data out its KEYBOARD MIDI OUT.
• When both "USB" and "KEYBOARD" are shown in the LCD, MIDI data will be sent out both MIDI ports. The
COMPUTER MIDI OUT will send out any MIDI messages sent to QX49 from a computer (connected to QX49's
USB port), and any performance on QX49 will send its own MIDI messages out the KEYBOARD MIDI OUT.
• When neither "USB" nor "KEYBOARD" is shown in the LCD, both MIDI OUT ports are disabled.
2. Press ADVANCED when finished.
ZONES
QX49's MIDI note range can be divided into three Zones, which you can assign. These Zones can be mutually exclusive or
overlap (or even be identical).
Zones allow you to play different or overlapping parts of the KEYBOARD over different MIDI channels simultaneously. For
instance, you could send the lower register of the KEYBOARD over Channel 1, the upper register over Channel 2, and the
entire KEYBOARD over the global channel.
To assign the channel of a Zone, see ZONE CHANNEL above.
To assign which keys are in a Zone:
1. Press ZONE RNG. "ZONE RANGE" will flash on the LCD. The LCD will also display the lowest and highest MIDI notes
that define that Zone.
2. Use the left three TRANSPORT CONTROL buttons (labeled ZONE 1-3) to select which Zone (or Zones) you will be
defining. The selected Zones will flash in the LCD.
3. Press the KEYBOARD key corresponding to the lowest MIDI note that will be in that Zone.
4. Press the KEYBOARD key corresponding to the highest MIDI note that will be in that Zone.
5. Wait a couple seconds until "ZONE RANGE" disappears from the LCD. The range of the new Zone (or Zones) are now
between (and including) the keys you pressed in Steps 3-4.
Note: Any Zone can be assigned to any range of keys regardless of the other Zones. You may assign Zones that overlap on
the KEYBOARD. Also, it is not necessary for Zone 1 to be the leftmost Zone and Zone 3 to be the rightmost.
GROUPS
When storing presets on QX49, you can save the settings of different combinations of controls. QX49's controls are divided
into Groups, as shown here:
Group A
KEYBOARD
PROGRAM
BANK LSB
BANK MSB
Zone settings
When you store a preset, you can select any combination of these three Groups. The settings for the controls in those Groups
will be stored with the preset.
To select which Groups will be saved with your preset:
1. Press ZONE GRP.
2. Use the TRANSPORT CONTROL buttons (labeled GROUP A-C) to select the Group (or Groups) to be stored. The
selected Groups will be displayed on the LCD. (A minimum of one Group must be selected.)
3. When you are finished, press ZONE GRP.
To store or recall a preset, see STORE and RECALL above.
Note: When you recall a preset, only Groups that are currently selected will be affected by the new preset's settings. Groups
that are not selected will be unaffected.
