Please help!

I am new to the world of the midi and have recently purchased an Alesis QS6 synth. After 2 weeks of blood, sweat and tears I’ve actually got an understanding of how to lay down tracks. - why doesn’t the bloody manual explain about Multitmrl on page one instead of delving into the likes of hard core midi/quantum physics!!!!!

For reference- this is a how I’m recording a song:

1. go to mix mode- user bank 00 (Multitmbl)
2. select channel one with page number arrows
3. select required sound on keyboard
4. on computer (imac with Vision DSP) select track one/channel one
5. record track

to complete a song just repeat steps 1-5 selecting different tracks and channels.

6 when the song is completed, save/overite into mix user bank 01 - Brilliant!

But what confuses me is “ HOW THE HELL DO YOU CONTROL THE EFFECTS ON THIS SODDING THING”

Even though I can lay in bed at night with my eyes closed and recite evey page from that evil manual, I just can’t grasp on how to select the effects for each channel.

What I need is a step by step guide ( to be understood by a Sea-Side Donkey) of how to sort the effects.

Can you have a different effect on each channel?

Please help or would you like to buy a two week old Alesis QS6 synth for £1.50
