MIDI Channel Assignments

The QSR Drum Synthesizer Manual Programming Strategy uses Mix mode and specific MIDI channel assignments.

Overview

The Programming Strategy presented in this Manual uses specific MIDI channel assignments that do not comply with the General MIDI standard. The QSR should be used in Mix play mode, and Mixes should use the MIDI channel assignments outlined in this topic. Set your controller or trigger interface channel parameters to match these assignments.
