SQ-80 — Musician's Manual
UDP —Audition Play. This State is entered automatically from Record when the end of the Sequence
is reached (assuming
LOOP=ON). After leaving Record and entering Audition Play, the
Sequence will continue to play in this state, with the newly recorded Track, until you press the
Stop
•
Cont Button. Pressing Stop
•
Cont from this State will put you on the PLAY/KEEP Page
(see below).
UDS — Audition Stop is entered when you stop the Sequencer from the Audition Play State. To exi
Audition Stop and return to the normal Stop State, you must first instruct the SQ-80 to KEEP
either the new or the original Track (see PLAY/KEEP Page below).
When a Song is selected, things are simpler. Since you can't record in Song mode, there are only two
possible Sequencer States:
SNGS — Song Stop. Sequencer at rest.
SNGP — Song Play. Sequencer playing currently selected Song.
UTILITY PAGES
There are a number of Utility and Dialogue Pages that you will encounter as you use the SQ-80
Sequencer. These Pages give you the choice of either keeping or rejecting changes you make to a
Sequence and its Tracks.
KEEP FIRST TRACK
When you press
Stop (or the Foot Switch) after recording the First Track of a Sequence, the Display
shows the following Page:
Pressing *YES* installs the Track in Memory as the First Track of the Sequence, and defines the length
of the Sequence as the number of Bars shown.
Pressing *NO* returns the Track (and the Sequence) to an unrecorded state, so you can record the First
Track again from scratch.
PLAY/KEEP PAGE
After accepting a First Track,
everything you record (including recording over the First Track) will be
followed by the
PLAY/KEEP Page. From the Record or Audition Play States, pressing the Stop
Button (or the Foot Switch) results in the Display shown on the following page:
