TRACK MIX
TRACK MIX determines the relative volume of each Track. This controls the LOCAL, or Internal,
volume of a Track, as well as MIDI Volume (MIDI Controller #7). When a new Sequence is selected,
each Track sends out MIDI Volume information on its selected MIDI Channel. (Not all instruments
receive MIDI Volume, but the Sequencer Tracks send it to and receive it from those who do.)
> Select any of the eight Tracks — it becomes underlined.
> Use the Data Entry Slider and the Up and Down Arrow Buttons to adjust the Level of the Track.
Range for each Track is
OFF To 63. The Level can be continuously adjusted, either while playing
back recorded Track Data, or while playing the
SQ-80 Keyboard with the Track selected.
> Adjusting a Track all the way to
OFF will silence the Track, Locally and on external instruments
which receive MIDI Volume.
Muting a Track
Unlike the other three Sub-pages, selecting a Track on this Page. and then pressing its button again.
Mutes the Track on the SQ-80 and over MIDI. (This works whether the Receiving Unit reads MIDI
Volume or not.)
When a Track is Muted in this way,
Parentheses appear around the Mix number. as in the case of Track 7
in the illustration above. Pressing the Button again removes the Parentheses and Unmutes the Track.
This is a handy way to temporarily mute a Track without disturbing its
MIX Level. This is a temporary
state and is not saved with the Sequence.
If you Mute Track 6, and then select another Sequence, Track
6 will still be Muted in the new Sequence.
You can think of the
Track Mix Sub-page as the "Mix down" section of the Sequencer. For each
Sequence you can balance the Output Level of each Track that is playing Locally, and of each MIDI Track
that is playing on an instrument which receives MIDI Volume. For external instruments which don't
receive MIDI Volume, you will have to adjust their volume controls separately.
Now press *MORE* (or press the Mix
