SQ-80 — Musician's Manual
5. BAR=
Tells you which Bar of the Sequence is playing; or, if the Sequencer is in Stop Mode, which Bar it
will play from if you press
Stop•Cont.
6. TMP=
The Tempo of the Sequence, in Beats per minute, is displayed here, and is continuously
controlled by the Data Entry Slider and the Up and Down Arrow Buttons. Tempo does not have
to be selected.
When an External Clock Source is selected (see
CONTROL Page) this readout will show
TMP=EXT.
7. TIME SIGNATURE
The Time Signature of the Sequence is displayed here. The Time Signature is set when the
Sequence is Created, and cannot be changed from here.
Auto-Locate Controls:
8. GOTO
GOTO allows you to start Playing or Recording the Sequence from any Bar within the Sequence.
To reach a particular Bar:
> Press GOTO. The Display shows:
___ > Use Data Entry Slider and the Up and Down Arrow Buttons to adjust the GOTO Bar number to
the Bar at which you want to start. You can choose any Bar within the current Sequence.
Press GOTO again. You are returned to the LOCATE Page, with the new Bar number showing
in the upper-right corner of the Display. Or press
*EXIT* to return to the LOCATE Page
without changing your current location in the Sequence (handy if you pressed
GOTO
b
y
accident).
Helpful Hint: The GOTO Bar you last selected is remembered by the SQ-80. This means that you can
j
ust press GOTO twice to quickly locate to the same Bar, when, for example you want to start from the
same point in the middle of a Sequence for repeated takes of a Track.
9.) BACKUP Each press of this button backs the Sequence Location up One Bar from the current
Location.
10.) BEGIN
Pressing this button resets the Sequence to the beginning of Bar 1. It's a good idea to get in the
habit of hitting
BEGIN before recording any Track, since going into Record Mode does not
automatically start the Sequence from the beginning.
