ZONES
QX25'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). Aside from the keyboard, the Pitch wheel and Mod wheel can be assigned
per zone.
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 ADVANCED FEATURES: ZONE CHANNEL.
To assign which keys are in a Zone:
1. Press the OCTAVE Up/Down buttons together. "ZR" (ZONE RANGE) will flash on the DISPLAY.
2. Use the left three TRANSPORT CONTROL buttons (labeled ZONE 1-3) to select which Zone (or Zones) you
will be defining. The transport controls used for the selected zones buttons will flash.
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 until the selected zones disappear and then press the OCTAVE Up/Down buttons to turn off ZONE
RANGE mode. The range of the new Zone (or Zones) is 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 QX25, you can save the settings of different combinations of controls. QX25'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 the TRANSPOSE Up/Down buttons together.
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 DISPLAY. (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 Store 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.
