Part 1: Setup & Connections

12 QS6.1 Reference Manual

¥ DonÕt run cables where they can be stepped on. Stepping on a cable will

compress the insulation between the center conductor and shield, and over time

this will degrade performance and reliability.

¥ Avoid twisting the cable or laying it out with sharp, right-angle turns.

¥ Never unplug a cable by tugging on the cable itself. Even if it has a Òstrain-

reliefÓ plug, you are likely to damage the inside wiring and connections. The

best way to unplug a cable is to firmly grasp the body of the plug and then pull

it straight outward.

When connecting audio cables, or turning power on and off, make sure that ALL

devices in your system are turned off and ALL volume controls are turned down.

This is important. If you donÕt do this, you can create loud bursts of sound that

might damage your speakers (or worse, your ears).

MIDI

BASIC MIDI HOOKUP

MIDI is the standard data communication protocol for electronic musical instruments. If

you arenÕt familiar with MIDI, see Part 5: MIDI and Part 10: Appendices to learn more

about how it works. Meanwhile, hereÕs all you need to know to get wired up.

The QS6.1 has three MIDI connectors:

¥ MIDI IN. This port is for receiving MIDI information (notes, program changes,

etc.) from another source, such as another MIDI keyboard, an alternate

controller, or a computer.

¥ MIDI OUT. This port is for sending MIDI information to another MIDI

keyboard, sound module, or computer.

¥ MIDI THRU. This port is for passing on MIDI information received by the MIDI

IN port. In simple MIDI setups, the THRU port is used to connect additional

devices that will all be ÒlisteningÓ to the same source.

Here are four typical MIDI setups for your QS6.1, and the appropriate cable connections

for each of them:

· As Slave. To play your QS6.1 from any other MIDI device (keyboard, drum pad,

guitar or bass controller, sequencer, etc.), just run a standard 5-pin MIDI cable

from the control deviceÕs MIDI OUT to the QS6.1Õs [MIDI IN] jack.
