Keybed: The Q mini keybed has 2 1/2 playable octaves. The range of the keyboard is
approximately in the middle of an 88-note keyboard. Using the Octave buttons, you can
access the full 88-note keyboard range of a large piano keyboard.
Octave Buttons: The assignable octave buttons are used to shift the keyboard up or
down in one-octave increments (12 semitones at a time). This extends the range of the
keyboard up to four octaves in either direction, which lets you play notes that lie outside
of the 32 keys.
In their default state, such as when you first switch on your Q mini keyboard, the buttons
are backlit in red. However, when you press either of them the color of that button will
change indicating that the octave change is active.

To return the octave shift to 0, press both the Octave buttons together. Both LEDs will
return to their normal red color at half brightness, indicating that the octave shift has
returned to 0.
You can assign other functions to these buttons in Edit Mode.
