Press the ‘Setup’ screen key, then touch the ‘Audio’ tab followed by the ‘USB’ tab to
see the options for the USB-B and SQ-Drive.
USB Mode –
This switches between USB-B and SQ-Drive modes.
USB-B should be selected for connection to a computer via the USB-B port on the
rear of the SQ and SQ-Drive should be selected when recording or playing back audio
to or from a USB storage device on the surface of the SQ.
These modes are exclusive with regards to audio. i.e. It is not possible to record to
SQ-Drive at the same time as streaming audio over USB-B.
USB Sample Rate –
The sample rate setting applies to both USB-B and SQ-Drive, and can be switched
between 96kHz (no sample rate conversion) and 48kHz (sample rate conversion
enabled).
Conversion takes place between the core and USB-B or SQ-Drive connection so the
SQ will continue to run all processing at 96kHz whichever mode is selected.
 Selecting 48kHz mode will allow recording and playback of up to 32 channels to and
from SQ-Drive. For more information, see the SQ-Drive Multitrack Recording and
Playback section of this guide.
