SQ-80 — Musician's Manual
STEP - TRACK STEP EDITING
The Step Editing function of the SQ-80 is a way of getting into a Track to make minute changes. It is
important to understand that the
STEP EDIT Mode is an extension of TRACK EDIT, and of the
Recording process itself. Whatever you do here affects ONLY the selected Track. Pressing,
STEP from
the
EDIT Page puts you on the STEP EDIT Page, which looks like this:
(
Inactive Buttons appear in White)
Step Editing is really just a method of Recording or Playing back a Sequence in which you are the Clock.
In normal Sequencer operation, The
SQ-80's internal Clock controls the playback rate of a Sequence.
The
STEP EDIT Page is specially set up so that you can Punch In (enter Record) or Punch Out (leave
Record and enter Play) while "Stepping through" the Sequence one
Step. or one Clock pulse at a time.
On the STEP EDIT Page, shown above, the top row of the Display contains the Step Size, which you
can adjust using the Data Entry Slider and the Up and Down Arrow Buttons, and a three-part
Time
Readout which tells you exactly where you are in the Sequence.
On the Bottom row of the Display are the Buttons
for Punching In and Punching Out of Record, and
two Buttons which allow you to advance the Sequence by one
Step, or by one Clock pulse at a Time.
This Function allows you to
Punch In at any point within the Sequence, and play the keyboard (to Record
new Track Data) or not play (to simply erase Track Data) while advancing, the Clock manually, by
ressing STEP or CLOCK.
READOUTS AND ACTIVE CONTROLS:
STEP= — STEP SIZE
This is the amount by which the Sequence will be advanced when the STEP Button is pressed
(see #8 below). On this Page,
Step Size is continuously controlled by the Data Entry Slider and
the Up and Down Arrow Buttons, and does not have to be selected.
