: Understand that I am new at keyboards and midi and music tech stuff.
: Problem: QS8 programs sound great. Use them all together in a sequencer and the sound quality is severely and negatively impacted.
: Why? Ive heard it has something to do with the ability to have only on patch per mix. This means what? Why only one?
: IS IT FIXABLE? HOW DO I DO IT?
: Why doesn't everybody who has ever bought this machine ask this question? Why isn't it in the manual?
: PLEASE help me regain my sanity. Is it possible to have a multitimbral arrangement sound as good as the program sounds?
I don't think you are right on the one program on the mixed sounds(I am not sure)But what I do know is that having only one Effect mix per multitimbral mix does cause a change in patch quality.The problem is all sounds in a mix have to go through a global effect mix instead of having an effect applied to each sound.Thus causing a sound which may rely heavily on an effect for its original sound now loses that effect if it the effect channel is different from that sound.Essentially if you have a sound that needs a certain effect on it to hold a mix together,assign the global effect to that channel in the mix.
