Selecting the QChord's 100 Voices
This is probably the most fun part-selecting the QChord's voices that are not preset, but it can also be really frustrating. Follow these steps.
Return the instrument to its power-on defaults;
Press a chord;
Press the melody button twice. Notice that the chord accompaniment stops playing. You can always tell when you've activated the melody keyboard by using this method. It really isn't necessary to press a chord first, but it does help you to know when you've activated the melody keyboard.
Now that the melody keyboard is active, press the rightmost chord button on the top row, the f-sharp major button. Note that it has a raised printed letter V (mnemonic for voice) on its top. For those who don't know, a printed letter V is pointed at the bottom, with diagonal lines that go upward to both the left and right.
Next press the melody button again. You are now at voice 00, the piano voice.
Press the voice select up button to select higher numbered voices. The voice select down button selects lower numbered voices.
Observe that this is different from selecting the preset voices and rhythms, where you press the voice and rhythm select down buttons rather than the voice select up button.
