Overview of the QUN mk2

Qun mk2 has two-oscillator virtual analog, FM, granular sound engine. 2 oscillators can be used separately.

A sequencer is 8-step based sequencer, supports up to 32/64 steps. You can store 8 patterns for each preset. It has 8 preset and sequencer pattern buckets. You can switch 8 presets and 64 patterns quickly.

Three track looper with 5 scenes, you can swap 3 track x 5 scenes while playing.

  • Analog Modeling engine
    • The analog modeling engine is an original, made from scratch. It uses advanced algorithms for great organic sound. The engine is not a copy of a classic synth, it is designed to make modern sounds.
    • Low latency.
    • All analog modeling engine parameters can be configured through MIDI.
    • Clean 2 Oscillators. Cheap synthesizers compromise this part sometimes, but QUN has no-alias noise Oscillators. All of the internal calculation is done by floating point for the sound quality.
    • Oscillators can be used as 1 oscillator per voice, or 2 oscillators per voice.
    • Voice can be configured as 4 voices (Quad mode) or 2 voices (Dual mono).
    • The sound engine is compatible with Qun mk1.
    • Multiple QUN synths can be stacked to achieve a Polyphonic setup.

CONNECTIONS

  • Power: Use a good quality USB power supply. Connect the USB cable to POWER labeled USB port (Top one).
  • MIDI: Use TRS A MIDI adapter to connect MIDI cables. TRS A type adapter is the same as KORG, AKAI and Make Noise's adapter. This is the lowest latency option. The synth comes with MIDI TRS A cable.
  • It has microphones and stereo line input.
  • LINE IN and PHONE OUT is located at right side. Output is not strong, so please connect to headphone amp or mixer. Looper mixer is stereo. Please use a stereo cable for the sound input and output.
  • It comes with micro SD card. Qun mk2 always needs SD card. SDHC is supported. Class 10 card (Normally it's indicated as Circled 10) or higher is required to satisfy the bandwidth. It's safe to remove when the access indicater is not lid, but it's not hot swappable, Please reset the device when you remove SD card.

MAJOR MODES

The synth has three major modes.

Button Function
Play Play Mode. It’s for sequencer / looper.

LED indicators

leds

The synth has 8 LED indicators on the switch. Solid LED shows selected pattern number.

  • When playing, another LED shows current position of the sequencer.
  • When trying to switch Scene (When pressing LOOPER PLAY) shows current selected Scene.
  • When trying to switch Track (When pressing LOOPER REC) shows current selected Track
  • When trying to mute Track (When pressing PARAM) shows current mute status of the Tracks.
  • When trying to switch bucket (When pressing MODE PLAY) shows current selected Bucket.

MIDI learning

Assigning proper MIDI CC to your MIDI keyboard is recommended for frequently used parameters, however, you can override MIDI CC temporary by the following operation:

  1. In parameter mode, press corresponding parameter long time (about 3 sec). For example, OSC1's Pulse Width is button 2 in OSC1 sub mode.
  2. Then the parameter name and value will be shown in the screen. Keep pressing the button.
  3. Send MIDI CC signal from your MIDI keyboard (Turn the knob or move fader). The sent MIDI CC# will control the assigned parameter.

Once the parameter is assigned, then "*" mark is indicated before the CC number. Original CC assignment is still working. It won't be affected with MIDI dumping. MIDI learning will take any MIDI channel. For example, even if you set the device to receive MIDI channel 2, MIDI learning can receive CC# for channel 3, or any other channels.

To cancel the override, do the same operation again.

To avoid confusion, this setting won't be saved.

Session

data_structure

Session is the biggest data unit of the synth. Session includes 8 preset buckets. Each bucket contains one preset with 8 pattern sequencer data.

There is no "new session" function. The synth always create a new session when booting.

To load session, press SHIFT + LOOPER PLAY when you are not in System mode or Granular mode. Current session number "Session:0001" will be indicated. Turn dial to select the session you want to load.

Saving session is semi-automated. Looper recording data will be saved immediately after the recording. Mixer and Bucket data will be saved when looper is stopped. You can manually execute it by pressing LOOPER STOP button, or Shift+Looper REC.

If you want to load older than recent 32 session, you can press NO / OK button to scroll the page.

You can import WAV files to session. Put WAV files under "import" folder. Folder structure is supported so you can make subfolders to organize samples. WAV format has to be 16-bit, 48000Hz, Mono. Otherwise "Format error" message is shown.

To import file, set proper BPM first, then press SHIFT + LOOPER PLAY + [1-3] button. [1-3] button corresponds the destination track. The data is trimmed to the closest the end of the measure.

If you have existing recordings in the session, WAV file will be cut to the current scene's looper length. You can use empty recorded track just to cut the WAV file to match the loop length. Otherwise it's trimmed to the longest point of the end of the measure.

Preset bucket

The synth has 8 preset buckets to recall preset quickly. This is powerful feature with looper.

data_structure

Bucket information is automatically saved with Session when looper is stopped.

Each bucket contains one preset and 8 sequencer pattern. In order to switch between bucket, press MODE PLAY + [1-8] buttons. Solid LED indicates current bucket you are in when pressing MODE PLAY button.

To understand how bucket works, try the following steps:

  1. Reset the board
  2. Change some parameter to configure the sound, let's set it to Sine wave.
  3. Press Recall(Mode/Play) + Button 2 to switch Bucket 2
  4. Then the sound should be changed to the default SAW wave.
  5. Change some parameters to program, let's set it to White noise.
  6. Press Recall + Button 1 to switch back to Bucket 1
  7. The first sound you configured should be recalled.
  8. Press Recall + Button 2 to switch to Bucket 2 again
  9. White noise should be recalled.

There is no copy function between bucket, but you can use preset bank 1 to bank 8 as a copy buffer. When you save the preset or load the preset from bank 1 to 8, the name is used to indicate the bucket, so always recommending to set name by saving or loding preset.

Bucket doesn't contain Granular's sample data, however, bucket tries to find a sample from preset folder when the bucket has a name. So if you save the tone preset in bank1 to bank8, Granular's sample will be loaded automatically when the bucket is selected.

Voice Mode

One synthesizer can be used as Monophonic or Quadphonic.

  • Mono = Mono (2 OSCs per voice)
  • Quad = Quad Tone (1 OSC per voice, and the engine has total 4 oscillators for the extra voices)
  • PolyMono = 2 OSCs per voice, but you can get 2 voices
  • PolyQuad = 1 OSC per voice. It's for Polyphonic setup when you have multiple Qun synthesizer.

When the mode is Quad or Poly Quad, MIX and "OSC2 Env Src" are ignored. MIX is always set to middle, and OSC2 Env Sel is always set to EG2.Most of cases you want to use the same parameters between Osc1 and Osc2 with Quad mode. To copy the parameter from OSC1 to OSC2 (and EG1 and EG2), long press button 7. "OSCs synched" message will be shown.

Here is an example to set up Quad mode

1. Initialize tone.
2. Configure OSC1 as you like.
3. Set this parameter to "Quad" mode by pressing button 7.
4. If you want to copy OSC1 parameters to OSC2, in the same submode, long press button 7 until "OSCs synched" message shown.
5. Play two notes by external MIDI keyboard. You will hear four voices.

Poly Mono can be used when you want 2 voices with 2Oscs per voice configuration.

Poly Quad is for multiple device stacked configuration. You can use multiple Qun Synthesizers to build polyphonic synth. Please see “Polyphonic setup” for detail.

PRM:FM

diagram_fm

The synth has 2 x 4 operator FM engine. OSC1 or OSC2 can be set to FM mode. Each operator has sine wave. OSC1 and OSC2 share the FM parameter.

Button Description
1 FM Algorithm
2 D Amplitude
3 A Frequency
4 A Amplitude
5 B Frequency
6 B Amplitude
7 C Frequency
8 C Amplitude

FM ALGORITHM

"ABCD" indicates each operator. Vertical relationship means upper operator modulates lower operator. For example,

	    A
	B C D

This means that operator A modulates operator D. B, C and modulated D will be mixed in parallel.

	A
	B
	C - D

This means A modulates B, the result modulates C, the result modulates D.

Oscillator (ABC)’s frequency (multiple of frequency of D) When FM FREQ SNAP (In ENV3/4 Other sub-menu) is off, it be adjust to the exact frequency of harmonics (2,3,4,5..). If you want clean FM sound, turn FM FREQ SNAP on.

Sequencer overview

Tutorial video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZqdzkTQ1Mg)

The sequencer is an 8/16 step sequencer. One page has 8/16 steps and it can have up to 4 pages.

The sequencer UI is influenced by analog 8 step pattern based sequencer. You can on and off pattern and change parameters for the steps.

Sequencer data will be saved when you save tone preset, and with the Session. Each preset can have 8 sequencer patterns.

You can run multiple sequencer at the same time, up to three patterns, as normal parallel running or relative running. See PLY:SEQ CONFIG for detail.

Looper overview

Tutorial video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iD4WpX3tHUE)

The looper is designed to work with sequencer. The looper always tries to sync with sequencer play. Looper won't start playing when sequencer is not running. Use blank sequencer pattern when you don't want to make sound from sequencer.

To start looper recording, hit LOOPER REC + LOOPER PLAY. If the sequencer is not running, it will not start recording but it's stand by for recording. In this case, press SEQ PLAY to start recording. When the sequencer is playing, the recording will be started at the beginning of the next measure.

First recorded track will define the length of the loop.

Press LOOPER STOP when you finished the recording. You don't need to press the stop button precisely, you can press earlier, then recording will be finished at the end of the measure.

Looper keeps playing the recorded sound. All recorded data will be saved to SD card immediately.

Looper has 3 Tracks. REC + [1-3] button to select recording track. Each recording can go up to about 25 seconds.

One set of recordings is called Scene. Looper has 5 Scenes. LOOPER PLAY + [1-5] to select scene.

looper_scene

Reduce record volume (-3.0dB or more) in Mixer to avoid clipping. MODE PLAY + turn dial to change the value.

Cut / Paste can be used for temporary saved area or delete the track. REC + NO to Cut, REC + OK to Paste.

All recorded data, Preset bucket and Mixer data will be saved as a Session automatically. Recording data save immediately and other data will be saved when looper playing is stopped. Recording data is standard WAV file so you can import them to DAW.

Looper live playing / Partial scene switch

Scene is powerful feature. You can play looper like Ableton Live's Session view. Play sequencer and looper, then LOOPER PLAY + [1-5] to select scene. Scene will be switched at the end of the measure. Synchronized switching works only when sequencer is playing. You can switch Scene even if it's not the end of the recording. Changing point is the end of sequencer's measure. Normally all tracks moves to new Scene, however, you can partially switch scene as well. Press LOOPER PLAY + [6-8] + [1-5]. [6-8] buttons tells which tracks you want to switch, and [1-5] is the scene number. Looper length can be different. PARAM + [1-3] to mute tracks.

Use Preset Bucket to keep preset settings. You can recall tone preset and patterns in a sec by using Preset Bucket.

PLY:PLAY PIANO

The mode is simple piano playing mode. Default is chromatic scale, but the scale can be changed by the scale setting in SEQ Config mode. Turn dial to transpose.

PLY:SEQ MODIFY

This controls modifier of the sequencer pattern.

Button Function
1 Pattern shuffle.
2 Transpose.
3 Width Offset (note length). / Long press for playing Pattern shuffle
4 Note Randomness
5 Arpeggiator
6 Rewind Period
7 Rewind Steps
8 Apply modifiers to the current sequence page

The Modifier is powerful feature, it will give algorithmic effects to the pattern. Those effects will be applied to current pattern without breaking the pattern data. Also you can apply modifiers to the pattern to make the effect as permanent.

  • Transpose will add offset to the pattern. Scale quantize (SEQ Config button 3) will help to keep the result musical.
  • Width Offset will change the note length.
  • Randomness will add some randomness to playing notes. Scale quantize (SEQ Config button 3) will help to keep the result musical.
  • Arpeggiator will add note offset. Scale quantize (SEQ Config button 3) is important to generate usable Arpeggiator result.
  • Pattern Shuffle will shuffle the playing order of the pattern. It is not random shuffle, so you can make creative and unexpected result without randomness.
  • Rewind period and Rewind steps define the periodical rewind of the sequencer. However, the step goes back to 1 when playing count reaches the length of the pattern.

You can permanently apply the modifiers by pressing button 8. The result will be stored to selected sequence page. If you want to apply only partial steps of the page, you can press [1-8] buttons to unselect steps. Press OK to apply the modifiers while pressing [1-8] buttons.

You will be asked resetting the modifiers or not resetting the modifiers. If you don't reset modifiers, then the modifiers will be reapplied to the result, so resetting modifiers is recommended to avoid confusions.

If the pattern has more than 8 steps, the modifier will be applied to only the current page. If you want to apply the modifiers to all pages, you don't want to reset modifiers.

After you applied the modifiers, the modifier values would be reset. Apply is powerful tool to create generative pattern.

PLY:SEQ ON/OFF

The sequencer has 8 steps per page, but it has more modes than ON/OFF. You can set different type of notes by turning dial while you press the button.

7 Velocity Period Volume for off-beat note.
8 Velocity Period Offset

Velocity period settings (Button 6 - 8) provide a convenient way to make rythmic velocity.

Sequencer MIDI channel out is useful setting with external synthesizer. When you set it, the sequencer starts to emit MIDI out signal to external synthesizers. Since it's the parameter of sequencer pattern, you can assign different MIDI channel for every single pattern.

Running multiple sequence patterns

You can run multiple sequeence patterns at the same time, up to 3 patterns by setting "2nd pattern" (Long press button 2) or/and "3rd pattern" (Long press button 3). The status is shown like this:

2nd Pt : 2 R 4

The first number is the sequence pattern number you want to run (1 to 8). The second number after "R" means period length for relative pattern run. Select "R0" for the normal parallel run.

If you select R1 to R8, the second (or third) pattern will run as relative pitch to the primary pattern. In this setting, C5 is the center (zero). The sequencer will update the transpose every configured period (R1 to R8) by looking at the current pitch in the primary pattern.

relative_sequencing

Let's say the above figure shows the primary pattern.

If you set "R4" for the second pattern, the transpose for the pattern will be updated every 4 steps. In this figure, 0-0-0-0 then 2-2-2-2 (The number is half steps).

If you set "R2" for the pattern, the transpose for the pattern will be updated every 2 steps. In this figure, 0-0 then 7-7, 2-2, 9-9 and so on.

In relative run mode, the second/third pattern's scale will be ignored, and primary pattern's scale quantize will be applied.

PLY: Granular

Overview

The synth features a Granular synthesis recorder.

  • Once you finish the editing, you can connect the Granular engine's output to AUX L channel. It means Granular engine can be used as one of Oscillator shape. You can assign Granular engine to Oscillator 1, and you still have Oscillator 2.
  • You can record audio from LINE IN or MIC. Input sensitivity can be modified by "AUX In Gain" parameter.
  • You can load audio from SD card.
  • Pulse Width modulation will change File position (starting position) of the audio. That means the File position can be modulated by LFO and others.
  • 4 Modes are available. One shot, One shot with time stretch, Repeat, Repeat with time stretch. When you are in One shot mode and play note slur, then the playing position won't be reset.
  • With One shot mode, you can route the signal to OSC1 AUX L and OSC2 AUX L.
  • With initialized state of oscillator, C4 is the original pitch of the audio.
  • The number of voice is limited up to 2 voice with Granular mode.

This is a simple setup to use the granular engine:

  1. Move to Granular sub mode, and record or import audio.
  2. Adjust parameters in Granular mode
  3. Change GRN mode from OFF to something else. It overrides AUX L channel to Granular engine's output.
  4. Go Oscillator parameter page, and select OSC shape to "AUX L"
  5. Play notes

Operation

Button Function
1 N/A
2 AUX Gain (This is the same parameter in Parameter mode, button 4 in Mix mode)
3 File position (Starting point).
4 Length
5 Speed. It won't work with non-time stretch modes.
6 Number of Grain. It won't work with One-shot modes.
7 Detune. (Octave highs and lows)
8 GRN Mode. OFF, ONE(One shot), ONE_TS(One shot with time stretch), RPT(Repeat), RPT_TS(Repeat with time stretch). When the mode is not OFF, It will override AUX L signal to granular output when you use AUX L as Oscillator shape. With time stretch, playing speed will be preserved. Without it, pitch and speed are linked like an analog tape.
LOOPER REC + LOOPER PLAY Start recording granular sample
LOOPER PLAY Start playing
LOOPER STOP Stop playing
SHIFT + LOOPER REC Save Recording data
SHIFT + LOOPER PLAY Load Recording data

LOOPER buttons acts for granular in granular mode.

Import wav file from SD card

You can import WAV file if you put WAV file under /granular folder in SD card. And the looper record files will be shown at the end of the list, so you can load looper recorded data to granular as well.

Shift + Looper Play to import WAV file, Shift + Looper REC to export WAV file.

When granular mode is not OFF, the recording data will be saved when you save preset, so normally you don't need to save recording data here. It's designed to export recording data.

Granular synth tips

  • Play note slur with One-shot mode. It works very well. You can keep the tempo with One shot with time stretch mode.
  • PWM (Width) will change sample starting point, it will generate interesting result.
  • Glide parameter is fun parameter with Granular.
  • Speed can go negative.
  • Set the following to do unpredictable wavetable. Change start position or Pulse width for fun.
    • granular mode to RPT
    • Grain to 1
    • Short GRN Length (Less than 30)
  • With Repeat mode, set length to about 0.5 sec and changing Pulse Width makes unique sound.

PLY:MIXER

Three track Mixer. At the last stage, signal can be stereo by panning tracks.

Button Function
1 Track A volume / Long press for Pan
2 Track B volume / Long press for Pan
3 Track C volume / Long press for Pan
4 Record volume (After the clipper) / Long press for Pan
5 Compressor threshold
6 Compressor makeup
7 Toggle extra processing (PARAM + NO is the shortcut)
8 Looper volume

This mixer has a compressor. Ratio, attack time and release time are fixed (1:3, attack 30ms, release 100ms).

To turn off compressor, set Compressor threshold to zero.

See clipping incidator if you want to avoid clipping. The synth does soft clipping, so the clipped sound is preferrable sometimes.

Mixer setting will be saved when Session is saved.

Extra processing

You can toggle Extra processing mode by PARAM + NO button.

When it's enabled, the Oscillators are turned off, but filter and effector becomes stereo, and connected to after Looper. You can apply filter, filter volume, and effects against Looper recording. See the signal diagram to understand how it works.

LFO is still available for filter modulation.

The following parameters are still available with Extra processing:

  • All parameters in VCF sub-mode
  • VCF Mod Sel
  • VCF Volume
  • 2 / 4 pole
  • 2nd Filter (When VCF is 2 pole)
  • All parameters in LFO submode
  • Effector parameters (Type, Speed, Depth and Feedback)

SYSTEM MODE

Bank (1 to 8)

Load or save preset. Each bank can store up to 32 preset. Bank 7 and 8 is used for factory install preset, but you can edit it.

Button Function
SHIFT + LOOPER REC Save
SHIFT + LOOPER PLAY Load

Sequencer data will be stored with preset. Granular record data will be saved when granular mode is not OFF.

SYS:SYSTEM

System Setting is the setting that is not included in the patch setting. To change the parameter, press the one of 8 buttons and rotate the dial.

Button Function
1 Input source select / Long press for Send And Return
2 Number of devices
3 Device Index
4 Receive MIDI Channel
5 MIDI forwarding
6 Line in through
7 Line in HPF
8 Sync mode

AUX: Input source select. Select Mic (the board has two onboard microphones) or Line in. The setting will be stored in the flash memory. When you use LINE IN, set this setting to "LINE IN(2CH)". You can record the source to granular engine.

Send And Return : OSC1 output before Envelope generator is coonnected to right channel. You need stereo channel separator to do this. Connection should the following:

 Qun's stereo output ->(stereo channel breakout cable, right channel)--(mono cable)--> effectors --(mono_cable)-> Qun's line in

Number of devices: Number of devices for poly mode. Set 1 if you don’t have multiple devices. It will be stored in the flash memory.

Device Index: Device Index. Set 1 if you don’t have multiple devices. It will be stored in the flash memory.

RECV MIDI Ch: Configure receiving MIDI channel. Default is ALL. If you use it with Polyphonic setup, set the same channel or ALL for all devices.

MIDI Forwarding: MIDI message forwarding for standalone polyphonic configuration. When the option is ON, the message forwarding is active with PolyMono or PolyQuad configuration. It's not for generic MIDI forwarding like MIDI THRU. Do not turn this option with DAW configuration. Most of DAW will echo received MIDI message, it will cause an infinite MIDI message loop.

LINE in THRU: If it is off, it is automatically turn on or off LINE IN pass through by mono / poly setting. If it is on, the synth always passes the signal to looper. This setting will be stored in the flash memory. Gain is fixed to 1.

LINE in HPF: On is default. LINE in has two HPFs, one is external, one is internal HPF in the chip. This setting turns internal HPF. Turning this off will reduce HPF effect.

Sync Mode: STOP, MIDI, 2PPQ, 4PPQ, 24PPQ, MOUT, MOUT2. Select clock source for sequencer and LFO. See Clock synchronization for detail.

SYS:SYSTEM2

System2 is page 2 of system menu. In System major mode, SHIFT + [OK] to go System2 menu.

Button Function
1 Quad mode On/Off
2 Ext MIDI Scale Quantize
8 Screen Contrast

Quad mode enables quad voice (4 voices, 1 oscillator per voice) or dual-mono (2 voices, 2 oscillators per voice) When the mode is off, voice will be Duo (2 voices, 1 oscillator per voice) or mono. Setting this mode will help to reduce system load.

Ext MIDI Scale Quantize : When it's on, sequencer's scale and key will be applied to external MIDI keyboard input. Default is off.

POLYPHONIC SETUP

The synth can be used as Mono, dual Mono or Quad(4) voice if you have one device. Please see "MONO/QUAD/POLY (Voice mode)" section for detail.

The number of the voice can be increased if you have more than one device. The voice number can be increased up to 16 (with Quad mode), by stacking up the synths.

Tested well with two devices, using more than 2 devices is experimental at this stage.

Audio connection

There are two ways for audio setup:

  1. Connect Slave's audio out to Master's Line IN to combine outputs.
  2. Connect all audio signals to your mixer.

MIDI connection

Use TRS cable to connect Master's MIDI out to Slave's MIDI IN.

On the master device, turn on MIDI Forwarding in System menu. All received MIDI signal will be forwarded to the slave device.

Preset setup for Polyphonic

Minimum setup to achieve PolyMono (2 Oscillators per voice) will be the following with 2 devices setup:

  1. In System menu, "Num of devices" should be 2 for all devices. Set Dev Index=1 for Master device, 2 for Slave device. This will be saved to flash memory.
  2. Initialize a preset (SHIFT + PARAM) on Master device.
  3. Make sure it plays initial SAW wave sound.
  4. Go Key / Other sub-menu and set MonoQuadPolyMode to "PolyMono"
  5. SHIFT + MODE PLAY button to dump all preset parameters as MIDI CC messages. After the dump, all preset state should be in sync between devices.
  6. Play multiple notes. You should hear four voices.
  7. Turn off Compressor of the Slave device (Play:Mixer:Comp threshold to 0.0dB) to match volume

Minimum setup to achieve PolyQuad (1 Oscillator per voice) will be the following with 2 devices setup:

  1. In System menu, "Num of devices" should be 2 for all devices. Set Dev Index=1 for Master device, 2 for Slave device.
  2. Initialize a preset (SHIFT + PARAM) on Master device.
  3. Make sure it can play initial SAW wave sound.
  4. Go Key / Other sub-menu and set MonoDuoPolyMode to "PolyQuad"
  5. SHIFT + MODE PLAY button to dump all preset commands. After the dump, all preset state should be in sync between devices.
  6. Play multiple notes. You should hear 8 voices.
  7. Turn off Compressor of the Slave device (Play:Mixer:Comp threshold to 0.0dB) to match volume

Polyphonic tips

Long press in Modo/Quad/Poly param (Long-press button 6 in Key/Other menu) to synchronize parameters between ocillators.

To synchronize all parameters between multiple Qun synthesizers, press SHIFT + MODE PLAY to dump all parameters. It will be sent to slave devices. If you still see issues like out of tune in slave device, try MIDI RECV toggle switch (SHIFT + SYSTEM). It will reset pitch bend or other controller values.

TIPS/TROUBLESHOOTING

  • Unknown MIDI messages sent with device reset?

    • When booting some noise is sent (it's ESP32's boot message) . Please avoid to receive MIDI signals when you reset the device. Use initializing preset (SHIFT +PARAM), instead of hardware reset.
  • Trouble with Duo Mode: You need to set up properly to play duo mode properly.

    • Go Key / Other sub-menu and long press button 7. It will sync the parameters OSC1 and OSC2, it will resolve most of issues.
  • No sound suddenly

    • Reset the preset. SHIFT + PARAM to initialize the preset.
    • Probably it’s because of last parameter you changed, or some unexpected MIDI cc signal. See the 2nd line of the display, it indicates the parameter received at last.
    • Level overflow may cause the silent, e.g. giving massive delay feedback.
    • Check "Device Index" and "Number of Devices" in system menu. If the Device Index is 2 or more, and you are using it as a primary device, then it may produce no sound. Set the index to 1.
    • Receiving MIDI channel is wrong. Check system setting.
    • Check MIDI Receiving status (Small Square dot in the screen. See PLAY MODE section for detail)
  • A noise when you connect multiple devices (chained audio)

    • It is likely because of a ground loop. Use separated power supply.
  • Noise but nothing is connected to the line in.

    • Toggle MIC/LINE select (in System menu), set to Line in.
    • Toggle Line In THRU to off.
    • Initialize a preset.
    • Check Mono/Poly Mode setting. If it’s poly mode, LINE IN pass through turns ON.
  • Use different power supply, you get less noise using separated charger.

  • Don’t be afraid to get clipped! The synth has 3 great clipping algorithms. Clipping could be the gateway to a whole new sound.

  • I want to use AUX as CV IN

    • CV signal from modular synthesizers may have HIGH VOLTAGE! Please attenuate the voltage to normal LINE level (1 to 1.5V).

    • AUX is connected to a lot of modules for CV control, so you can use AUX to control tune/width/LFO and others. However, the LINE in has capacitor in the path, it means the signal is AC. Using it as LFO should work, probably down to 2 to 5Hz. But DC signal, e.g. holding the same voltage 5 seconds, might not work.

  • MIDI is flooding when I connect MIDI out to DAW.

    • MIDI forwarding is ON.
  • Glithes with looper playing

    • One known issue is looper might get gliches when Granular's grain is high with scene loading. It's because of limitation of RAM bandwidth.

External Audio processing

You can use LINE IN signal for various purposes. LINE IN is stereo input.

  • As CV input to control synth parameters
  • As oscillator source. Select "AUXL" or "AUXR" as oscillator source. VCF / effector / Clipping will be applied. If you want to process LINE IN signal as an audio signal, then set Oscillator(1/2)'s signal as "AUXR" or "AUXL", and set the ENV SEL as "ON" (in OSC Switches). Set the gain by changing "VCF Volume" and "AUX In Gain" in Mix sub-menu.
  • Line In Through to Looper. Setting is in System -> Line In Through. It pass through the sound engine, then combined with the output of the sound engine. You can record the input to looper. Compressor will be applied.

Clock synchronization

The synth can take external clock sources from other synthesizers. When the sync is enabled, sequencer BPM / start / stop is synchronized with external synthesizer or sequencer. Setting is available in the System menu. Default is OFF. The setting will be saved to internal flash memory.

MIDI clock

When you set sync mode to "MIDI", the synth will be clock slave mode. Set your DAW to send MIDI clock. We tested Ableton Live and Logic Pro X and KeyStep Pro. It has some latency so please adjust latency setting in your DAW to match the timing.

If you set sync mode to "MOUT" or "MOUT2", then the synth will be clock master. It sends MIDI clock as well as play/stop MIDI messages. Try "MOUT2" if you feel slight delay between devices. MOUT2 will send extra clock signal when start playing because some devices start sequencing from the second clock (Roland MC-101is the example). If you clock another Qun, use MOUT.

Sync IN

The synth can take 2PPQ, 4PPQ or 24 PPQ signals. Don't supply high voltage to the synth, it will break. The signal must be supplied to LEFT channel (tip of TRS connector). Using the tip as a sync signal is compatible with Teenage Engineering's Pocket Operator. Supply voltage needs to be more than 500mV. RIGHT channel (AUXR) still can be used as audio signal or CV in.

SD card folder structure

WAV file can be used by other software. Format is mono, 48kHz, 16 bit.

LOOPER00

Session data is stored here. It includes Looper recording data.

Filename Description

Supported MIDI Control numbers

All tone-related parameters can be controlled by MIDI CC signal.

A set of MIDI CC signal can be used as preset save data. Press SHIFT + MODE PLAY button to dump MIDI CC messages.

If you want to control parameters by your MIDI keyboard, use the chart below to check the CC number. Or, you can see the CC# in the screen at the top of the parameter name. Assigned CC# can be override temporary.

When you change CC parameters through MIDI keyboard or any other devices, the changed parameter will be shown on the display in real-time, you will see what you are changing, the value and mode names just like when you change parameters directly on the QUN.

Suggested MIDI CC parameters to be assigned if your MIDI keyboard has some knobs:

  • MIX: (92)
  • FM: (33)
  • Cutoff: (22)
  • Resonance: (91)
  • LFO Tune: (24)
  • VCF Volume: (90)
