Controlling LEDs
LEDs can be controlled by sending MIDI Notes through USB Port 1 to the QuNexus. Notes 48
(C2) - 72(C4) will control the keyboard LEDs. If you send notes outside of that range they will
wrap around and still control the LEDs of the Keyboard. MIDI Input cannot currently control the
Left Side Buttons. Channel 1 is used as the LED Input channel in our Factory Presets (with
exception to Preset D, which uses Channel 9).
Keyboard Layer
Keyboard Layer refers to the basic QuNexus Keyboard behavior. It includes the notes that shift
up and down when using the Octave buttons. Presets B, C, and D also include Tilt on all keys
using Pitch Bend, and Pressure for all keys using CC#1 (mod).
Controller Layer
Controller Layer refers to the extra MIDI notes that don’t shift up and down when using the
Octave buttons. It also refers to CC data that outputs per key. Preset D is the only Factory
Preset that includes Controller Layer MIDI information. MIDI Data that outputs on Channel 9 in
Preset D is part of Controller Layer.
CV does not convert MIDI Messages from Controller Layer.
Channel Rotation
Channel Rotation is a feature that causes the order of keys pressed at one time to rotate
through channels. For example, the first pressed key’s MIDI data goes out Channel 1, the
second pressed key’s data goes out Channel 2, the third pressed key’s data goes out Channel
3, etc. Release those keys and you will start over on Channel 1 next time you press a key. This
feature is useful for getting a different pitch bend, channel pressure, or poly aftertouch for each
note as opposed to one for all notes. Factory Preset C uses Channel Rotation to achieve
polyphonic pitch bend.
QuNexus Editor
The QuNexus Editor is a free application that we provide on our website. It allows you to create
customized Presets and load them onto QuNexus. This chapter will guide you through
everything you need to know to acquire and operate the QuNexus Editor.
For those who wish to customize QuNexus, download our free QuNexus Editor Installer from:
http://www.keithmcmillen.com/QuNexus/downloads/. This comes with the QuNexus Editor and
Documentation.
