Edit Mode - Alesis Q mini Guide D'utilisation

Volume Knob
The Volume Knob sends a MIDI message that controls the volume of the notes you are playing.
The Volume Knob is assigned the default Continuous Controller number (MIDI CC) of 7 and can also be
assigned to different parameters, such as pan (balance), attack, reverb, chorus and many more.
Refer to your MIDI hardware or software documentation to confirm that it is able to receive MIDI Volume
messages.
Sustain Button
The Sustain button can be used for sustaining the sound that you are playing, without having to keep your
hands on the keyboard (just like the sustain pedal on a piano). Pressing the Sustain button engages Sustain;
pressing it again disengages Sustain.
You can change how this button behaves in Edit Mode.
Edit Button
The Edit button is used to access the advanced Q mini functions located on the keybed.
Pressing the Edit button switches your keyboard into Edit Mode. The Edit button turns blue, and you can
use the keys to select various advanced functions and enter data.
Depending on the function, your keyboard will exit Edit Mode as soon as a function is selected, or the
Cancel or Enter keys are pressed. At this point, the Edit button light will dim, and the keyboard can be used
for playing notes again.

Octave/Data Buttons
By default the Octave/Data "+" and "-" buttons are used for shifting the Q mini keybed up or down one
octave at a time. Whenever you power up the keyboard, the octave setting will be at the default value of "0,"
and the buttons will be red in color at half-brightness.
When the "+" button is used for raising the octave it will either illuminate or flash at full-brightness based on
the octave chosen, and the "-" remains at half-brightness. Pressing the "-" button has the opposite affect,
such that it will illuminate or flash at full-brightness based on the octave chosen, while the "+" button
remains at half-brightness. The following table lists the colors used to identify each octave:

If the Octave/Data buttons have been assigned to one of the 6 additional functions as described in
"Reassigning the Octave/Data Buttons", you can reassign and use them for their default function (Octave)
using the method described below.
