About Patch File Formats
Available patch file formats are Dixie Performance, 1 voice, 32 voices, and 32+1 voices.
Dixie Performance (dxpf) contains a current patch, multi-timbre settings, a work bank, and parameters.
1 voice contains one voice for the current patch. Loading it will immediately change the current patch.
32 voices contains one bank. Loading it changes the work bank.
32+1 voices is a combination of the above two.
About Banks
A set of 32 patches is called a bank. The bank from which files are loaded is “work”, and banks A, B, and C are not often rewritten. Also, banks A, B, and C are synced to iCloud.
Save your favorite patches in bank A, B, and C. The default patches in bank A and B are the same as those in cart’s Factory 1.syx and Factory 2.syx, so you can rewrite them.

21. Multi-Timbre bar
Switch between multiple timbres. When you tap in the selected state, the sound toggles.
If you tap the right gear, you can set up it.
22. Transpose bar
Transposition can be set for each timbre in semitone steps. In the +1 state, pressing the C key on the keyboard produces the C# note, which is one semitone higher. 1 octave is 12 semitones.
Multi-Timbre setting

Set 16 channel multitimbre
In one action, make the number of timbres 16 and assign each channel.
Channel
Specifies the receive channel. Can be set for each timbre.
Mode
You can specify the mode for each parameter.
- Same Channel: The channel-matched timbre has the same parameters.
- Independent (When Selected): The parameters are independent of each timbre. When you receive a MIDI signal, it changes only when the timbre is active.
- Shared (Always): Parameters are common to all timbres.

18. Lock button
Lock the settings of this screen. The settings are not rewritten by loading a file when locked.
19. Reset button

20. Pitch Range
Sets the range of pitch bends. 0 does not take a pitch bend, with 1 half-width and 12-octave range.
21. Pitch step
If nonzero, the pitch is changed in units of this value when the pitches bend is moved. One in a semitone, twelve in one octave. If this value is nonzero, the pitch range is fixed at 12.
22. Portamento on Off
Turn Portamento on or off.
23. Portamento mode
In poly mode, Sus-key p retain and Sus-key p follow, mono mode has a fingered and full time mode. In Sus-key P retain, the pitch of the sound with the keyboard turned off is unchanged, and the portamento from the pitch of the keyboard pressed just before toward the pitch of the newly pressed keyboard. In Sus-ket P follow, the pitch of the sound with the keyboard turned off is portamento toward the pitch of the newly pressed keyboard. The pitch of the sound with the keyboard pressed does not change. In fingered, it only takes a portamento to play legato (play the next keyboard while holding a certain keyboard). Full time always takes a portamento.
24. Glissando
When turned on, it will take glissando instead of Portamento.
25. Portamento Time
Portamento set the speed. Portamento at 0 and slowest at 99.
26. Controller Range
Sets the size of the modulation wheel (CC # 1), foot Controller (CC # 4), Breath Controller (CC # 2), and after-touch effect. 0 does not take effect, and 99 is the most effective.
27. Controller pitch
Toggles whether or not to control the interval change in the LFO. When the LFO setting pitch mod sens is 0, it does not take effect.
28. Controller amplitude
Toggles whether the LFO controls the volume change. If the amp mod sens of the Sense/level setting is 0, it does not take effect.
29. Controller EG Bias
Changes the volume of the envelope. If the amp mod sens of the Sense/level setting is 0, it does not take effect. It becomes the brilliance effect when put on the modulator, and becomes the volume effect when putting it on the carrier. If EG bias is enabled and the amp mod sens of the carrier is the maximum and the controller is minimal, there may be no sound.

When the frequency is doubled, the pitch increases by one octave.
If the oscillation mode is ratio, the coarse can be set in the range from 0.5 to 31 times. In fine, it is 1 to 1.99 times.
When the oscillation mode is fixed, the coarse is set to 1Hz, 10Hz, 100Hz, 1000Hz, and fine to 1 to 9.772 times.

Keyboard scale Settings
Depending on the keyboard you press, you can change the volume and the speed of the envelope.
1. Breakpoint
Decide which key is the center of keyboard scaling for each operator. Can be set in the range of A-1 to C8.
2. Rate Scaling
The operator’s EG rate can be faster as it becomes the treble part. For example, the treble can be set fast, like a piano.

Sense/Level Settings
1. Amplitude modulation sensitivity (M sens)

2. Key velocity sensitivity (V sens)
Sets sensitivity to the strength of the keyboard (velocity).
3. Output level
Set the output level for each operator.
4. Cancel button
Discard the changes and close the screen. Please note that if MIDI output is specified, the settings will be sent.

Other settings
1. Middle C Transpose
You can set the transpose. Specifies a range of ± 2 octaves where the Central de (C3) is to be transposed.
2. Feedback level
Each algorithm has an operator that takes only one feedback. Set the amount of feedback in the range 0 to 7.
3. Oscillator key synchronization (OSC key Sync)
When on, the operator always oscillates from 0 to the phase. Therefore, when the keyboard is pressed, the sound becomes constant, but noise may occur. When off, the operator can smoothly connect to the previous sound. Therefore, the tone may change when the keyboard is pressed.
4. Cancel button
Discard the changes and close the screen. Please note that if MIDI output is specified, the settings will be sent.
5. Done button
Close the screen.
LFO Settings
The low Frequency oscillator (LFO) is the one that oscillates at a low frequency and changes the pitch and volume of the sound.
1. Waveform
Select from 6 types of LFO waveforms. There are triangular wave (triangle), descending saw wave (saw down), Rose saw-up, square, square, sine wave (sine), sample & Hold.
2. LFO key Synchronization
When on, the LFO phase is reset when the keyboard is pressed. When off, the LFO phase has nothing to do with the keyboard.
3. LFO speed
Set the LFO speed in the range of 0 to 99. 0 is the slowest and 99 is the quickest setting.
4. LFO delay
After pressing the key, set the time before the LFO takes. Pressing the keyboard at 0 will take effect immediately. The longest time to take effect after pressing the keyboard in 99.
5. Pitch modulation Depth (PMD)
Sets the depth of the LFO to the interval in the range of 0 to 99. 0 does not take effect, and 99 is the most effective. PMD is a variation of the pitch, apart from the effect of each controller.
6. Amplitude modulation Depth (AMD)
Sets the depth of the LFO to the volume in the range of 0 to 99. 0 does not take effect, and 99 is the most effective. Apart from the effects of each controller, AMD changes the volume.
7. Pitch modulation sensitivity (PMS)
Sets the sensitivity of the LFO to the interval in the range of 0 to 7. In addition to PMD, it is affected when pitch is enabled on the controller of the Param screen.
8. Cancel button
Discard the changes and close the screen. Please note that if MIDI output is specified, the settings will be sent.
9. Done button
Close the screen.
Misc window (param)
1. Velocity curve
The graph represents the current settings. Depth is a slope.
2. Breath to Velocity
Enable breath control on the patch which does not support EG bias by using the velocity settings. You can choose the mode A,B and C.
3. Smooth Control
Smoothen the controls. Slower response, lower digital noises.
About the Multiple-Out function
The “KQ Dixie Multi” Audio Unit can output each audio of each timbre separately when you use a host which supports multiple buses such as AUM and apeMatrix.
It is a useful function when 2 or more timbres you use.
The first Audio Unit bus contains all of the output. (Master)
Each bus from 2 to 17 contains the output of each timbre.
Mute the 1st bus for a use.
