usable.

PRACTICA GENERAL

After stopping and rewinding the tape, press again the Pause button, the Recording button and
the Start button. Now the level of the second recording is adjusted by means of the level control.
The setting of the Multiplay control must remain unaltered. As soon as you release the Pause
button, the artist hears the first recording through his earphone and may sing to it in
synchronization. The monitoring volume of the first recording is adjusted with Volume Control
R. The second recording is combined with the first recording. The tone engineer monitors both
recordings so that he can correct the level of both recordings even during the recording process.

Mix modes permit Programs to be put or used multitimbrally to provide up to 16 separate parts
on 16 different MIDI channels. Programs can also be assigned velocity and key groups,
allowing complex orchestral and synth setups to be generated easily. This makes the QS6 a
powerful master keyboard, the only potential problem being that five octaves may not really be
enough for some players. In Multitimbral mode care has to be taken over how to erase the
available effects such as distortion, whereas others can work with accessing a general effect,
such as reverb.
