User manual ALESIS QS81

[. . . ] ALESIS QS7. 1 and QS8. 1 Reference Manual INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing an Alesis QS7. 1/QS8. 1 64-Voice Expandable Synthesizer. It's a powerful instrument and we're sure you will find it exciting to use. The more you know about it the more you'll be able to do, so we recommend that you make good use of this manual. But most importantly, don't forget to have fun! [. . . ] This can be set 00 to 99, whereby 00 is a very fast decay and 99 is a very slow decay. Note: This parameter shows up on Page 2 for Send 3 of Configuration #3, and Page 5 for Send 1 of Configuration #5. INPUT 2 Range of Settings: Sends 1 ­ 4 Page 2 (Config. 5 only) This parameter selects the second input to the Resonator in Configuration #5. If you look closely at the Configuration diagram, you'll see that Input 1 is hardwired to the Overdrive. The balance between the two Inputs is set by the Input Balance parameter (see below). INPUT BALANCE Range of Settings: OVR<99. . . to <0> to . . . 99>IN2 Page 3 (Config. This shows up in the display as "->Pch: OVR <0> IN2". That seems cryptic, so let's work through it from left to right. The right-pointing arrow (->) stands for "The Input To. . . " (we can only cram so many characters in the display, so we had to get creative with this one). "Pch" stands for "the Pitch Effect", which is what type of effect the Resonator is. Everything to the right of the colon (:) is a value. So the screen thus far would read, "The Input To the Pitch Effect has a value of. . . ". The rest is easy: When set to "<99", only the Overdrive is being routed to the Resonator. When set to "99>", all that goes through is Input 2 . When set deadcenter to "<0>", an even mix of both signals is passed on. Now, that wasn't so bad, was it? 92 QS7. 1/QS8. 1 Reference Manual Part 6: Editing Effects [90] -- DELAY The Delay function is used to edit Delay parameters. The QS's effects processor has three different Delay types available. Note: Some Configurations only have a mono Delay on some Sends, and when this is the case the Delay Type parameter will be unavailable. Instead, the parameters normally found on page 2 of the Delay function are shown in page 1, and the other pages also drop by one number (please refer to next section for a description of those parameters). The exceptions to this are the Mono Delays on Send 4 of Configurations 1 and 3, and the Mono Delay on Send 1 of Configuration #2. These Delays have no Input Balance parameter (they don't need them), so all of their parameters are offset by 2 instead of by 1 (Delay Time is found on pages 1 and 2, instead of pages 3 and 4. Feedback is found on page 3, not page 5). DELAY TYPE Range of Settings: (see below) Page 1 Ping-Pong.
