QS7.1/QS8.1 Reference Manual 47

PAGE 10 — CONTROLLER C #

The same as Global Edit Page 8, above, but for Controller C. The factory default is

Controller 091.

PAGE 11 — CONTROLLER D #

The same as Global Edit Page 8, above, but for Controller D. The factory default is

Controller 093.

PAGE 12 — PEDAL 1 CONTROL #

Just like MIDI Controllers A–D, your QS’s [PEDAL 1] jack can be assigned to a MIDI

controller. In fact, it already is. The factory default is Controller 007 (Main

Volume), which explains why a pedal plugged into the back panel’s Pedal 1 jack

will automatically control volume.

It doesn’t have to be limited to that, however. You can use this parameter to change

it to any Controller from 0 to 120. (Please note that if you do, a footpedal plugged

into your [PEDAL 1] jack won’t work as a volume control anymore!)

In short, then, this setting determines what MIDI data is sent out when you step on

a properly-connected footpedal. And since PEDAL 1 is also an available setting for

modulating Programs or Effects, your choice here will determine exactly what

incoming MIDI Controller data will modulate those Programs, Effects and (by

extension) Mixes that have been set up to respond to PEDAL 1.

Something to be aware of: Unless you deliberately mean to, don’t assign the same

Controller Number to two different physical controllers. Their interaction could get

very confusing! It’s even possible that they could fool you into thinking that

something in your QS is either broken or not working properly, since you’d be moving

a controller and not getting the exact response you expect.

PAGE 13 — PEDAL 2 CONTROL #

This setting works exactly like Pedal 1, just above.

If you don’t have a second pedal, you can still use this function in a very powerful

way. This Global page gives you one more assignable continuous controller to which

the QS can respond. Also, when you get to Part 8: Editing Programs, you will see

that PEDAL 2 is one of the available Program modulation sources. So you can plug

in a second pedal and control any number of Program or Effects modulation

destinations, or you can simply allow the MIDI controller of your choice to do it for

you.

The factory default for this setting is 004 (Foot Controller).
