as well as playing back data Recorded on the Track,

Track States:
BOTH — The Track will play the SQ-80 Program showing on the Tracks Select Page and will
be sent out over MIDI on its selected MIDI Channel.
MIDI — The Track will be sent out over MIDI on its selected MIDI Channel, but will not play
on the
SQ-80. When this Status is selected, the word *MIDI* will appear instead of the Program

Tracks Select Page. Incoming MIDI Data will, however, play on the SQ-80.
LOCAL — The Track will play on the SQ-80 but will not be sent out over MIDI. SEQ
— Same as MIDI Status, except that incoming MIDI data will not play locally on the SQ80.
When SEQ is selected, the word *SEQ-* will appear instead of the Program Name on the
Tracks Select Page.
