Volume Controls
There are four volume controls on the QChord:
1. The master volume control, which controls all aspects of the instrument's volume;
2. The rhythm volume control, which determines how loud the rhythm section plays;
3. The strumplate volume control, which controls how loud the strumplate plays; and
4. The chord volume control, which governs the volume of the chord accompaniments.
This button actually does multiple duty, as it can control loudness, not only for individual accompaniment tracks, but also serves as a depth control for the vibrato and reverb effects. These functions will be discussed later. Press the chord volume up button for a second or two to reach maximum chord accompaniment volume. Do the same for the chord volume down button to turn the volume of the chord accompaniment down. It will actually be so low you will no longer be able to hear it.
The strumplate and rhythm volume controls work in exactly the same way. The strumplate, chord, and rhythm volume controls function independently of each other, so it is possible to have a loud rhythm and soft strumplate voice, or vice versa. Experiment with the loudness of each component to determine the settings that best fit the song you're playing. You might want to return the instrument to its power on defaults and make note of how many times you pressed each volume control so that you can duplicate the setting again.
