SQ-80 — Musician's Manual
By using the same Sequence for several Steps, and transposing some of the Steps, you can save
time and Sequence Memory. Remember though that if you have Drums, or similar sounds, on a
Track, they will be Transposed too.
4. SEQ
Here you select which Sequence you want to be played during the current Step. For each Step
of the Song, press SEQ (it gets underlined)
and use the Data Entry Slider and the Up and Down
Arrow Buttons to select the Number of the Sequence you want for that Step. (While editing a
Songs, whenever you press NEXT or PREV, to change Steps, SEQ is automatically selected for
the new Step.)
5. REP — REPEATS
Here you select the number of times that the Sequence is to Repeat during the selected Step. Ifs
for example, on a given Step, SEQ=05, and REP=04, that Step would repeat Sequence # 5 four
times when the Song is played.
For each Step of the Song, after you select a Sequence, press REP (it gets underlined)
and use
the Up and Down Arrow Buttons to select the number of the Repeats for that Step. Up to 99
repetitions can be programmed for each Step.
6. INSERT
Pressing INSERT simply inserts a new Step into a Song. The Inserted Step always reads
SEQ=01, REP=01, After inserting a Step you then adjust the SEQ and REPs as described above.
The new Step is inserted in front of
the one you were previously on, and all later Steps are moved
back by one,
For example; if you are on Step 3 of a Song, and you press INSERT. a new
Step 3 (defined as
SEQ=01, REP=01) will show on the Display. The old Step 3 is now Step 4. The old Step 4
is now Step 5. And so on.
7. DELETE Pressing DELETE removes
the currently selected Step
from the Song.
For example: if you are on Step 5 of a Song, and you press DELETE. the old Step 5 will disappear
and all later Steps will move up by one. The old Step 6 is now Step 5. The old Step 7 is now
Step 6. And so on.
8. PREV Pressing PREV "backs up" one Step within a
Song.
9. NEXT
Pressing NEXT advances the Song forward to the next Step. You can't advance more than one
Step beyond the last defined Step. If Steps 1 through 4 have been defined (by selecting a Sequence
for those Steps), when you press NEXT to advance to Step 5, it will read
SEQ=XX. REP=XX.
You cannot go to Step 6 until you have defined Step 5. Moving the Data Entry Slider or the Up
and Down Arrow Buttons replaces the XX' s with Sequence numbers, and Step 5 is now defined.
