to" a Cartridge Program, but no Cartridge is inserted.
When this is the case. the Internal Program that is in the same relative Memory Location as the
missing Cartridge Program will play on that Track until the Cartridge is re-inserted (or until anothe
Program is selected for the Track). When the Cartridge is re-inserted. the proper Cartridge
Program's Name will reappear. and that Program will play on the Track.
`MIDI"
On the
Mix
•
MIDI Page (which we will cover next), it is possible to assign MIDI only Status to a
given Track. This means that whatever is recorded on the Track, or played from the Keyboard
when the Track is selected, will be sent out over MIDI, but will not sound at all on the
SQ-80. When
MIDI only Status has been selected for a Track on the Mix
•
MIDI Page, the word *MIDI* will
replace the Program Name on the
Tracks Select Page, as in the case of Track 3 above.
*SEQ-*
When SEQ- Status has been selected for a Track on the Mix
•
MIDI Page. the word *SEQ-* will
replace the Program Name on the
Tracks Select Page, as with Track 6 in the previous illustration.
FLASHING UNDERLLNE — Playing the EDIT Program on a Track
When a Track is selected, you can hear the Sound that's in the Edit Buffer (the EDIT Program) on
that Track by simply pressing the
COMPARE Button. Two things happen:
1) The Name of the Edit Program appears in that Track's Location on the
Tracks Select Page, and
2) The underline
beneath the Track Location flashes. The flashing underline means that the Track is
playing the EDIT Program.
Pressing the
COMPARE Button again returns you to the Program that is really on the Track —
the underline stops flashing, and the original Program Name reappears. This function is useful i
you want to Edit the Program that is on a Track. and then hear the Track with the Edited Program.
Note: You cannot Record a Track with the Edit Program. Going into Record automatically puts the
original Program back onto the Track. If you want to Record with the Edited Program on a Track
you must first Write (save) it to a Program Location and then select the newly written Program for
the Track, as described earlier. Also, if you leave the Track. by "unselecting" the Track or selecting
another Track, the original Program will automatically be put back on the Track.
