SQ-80 — Musician's Manual
[SELECT] Tracks Select PAGE
For Selecting Tracks and Selecting a Program for each Track
(Inactive Buttons appear in White)
From the
Tracks Select Page, along with its companion Page. Mix
•
MIDI, you control all the
characteristics of the various Tracks within a Sequence. On both the
Tracks Select and the Mix•MIDI
Pages, the eight Tracks of each Sequence always occupy the same eight locations on the Display, and
are selected with the same "Soft
-
Buttons, as shown above.
Each Track has a Local Program — an SQ-80 sound that will play what is recorded on the Track. and
will play from the keyboard when that Track is selected (unless a MIDI only Status has been selected).
From the
Tracks Select Page you select a Track (to Record on, to Edit, etc.), as well as selecting the Local
Program that will play on that Track.
The illustration above shows the
Tracks Select Page as it appears when a new Sequence is first created.
When a Track location says "UNUSED," it simply means that that Track has not yet been defined. You
define a Track by selecting it.
Selecting a Track
Any of the eight Tracks is selected by pressing the "Soft" Button corresponding to that Track. When you
select a Track that was previously UNUSED, two things happen:
1) The word "UNUSED" is replaced by the name of the Current Program, and
2) The Track is now underlined, telling you that it is selected.
Take the above illustration. which shows the
Tracks Select Page for a newly created Sequence. Say the
current Program in the Synthesizer section is called
DRUMS. If you select Track 1. the Page now looks
like the illustration on the next page:
