Picture 5: Master Section
As you can see, the Master Section consists of several controls:
A 2x20 character display that shows program names, parameters and other messages.
A page dial on the right of the display. It is used to select sound programs or, when editing
a program, to select a parameter page.
Two value dials below the display for adjusting parameters currently shown.
Five buttons labelled Global / Utility, Multi / Undo, Matrix / Compare, Xphorm / Recall
and Sound / Store. These buttons are used to call special parameter edit pages and to
perform several utility functions.
A button labelled Shift that is used to activate alternative functions of knobs and buttons,
labelled in light blue color.
A button labelled Play / OK. Pressing this button will bring back the Q to Play mode,
where sounds can be selected.
A button labelled Multimode. It is used to activate or deactivate the Multimode.
A button labelled Peek. Pressing this button allows you to check parameter values without
changing them. The Peek button also lights up on any incoming MIDI message.
Selecting Programs
The Q offers four types of programs, Multis, Sounds, Drum Maps and Patterns. To switch between
them, you can either use the Page Dial or the Number Buttons . Which type of program is
changed, depends on if the Q is in Single or Multi Mode.
Single Mode
The Single Mode of the Q consists of four Instruments that can be played one after the other or at
once. This offers a fast way to switch between different sounds in a live situation or to create layered
sounds in a studio session without deeper programming. We will come to that later. For now, you
only need to know: The buttons Inst. 1Inst. 4 are used to switch between these Instruments.
Each Instrument holds a Sound that can be selected in various ways.
