SQ-80 — Musician's Manual
[STORAGE (Disk)] STORAGE PAGE
For Saving and Loading Data to Disk, to Cartridge, Over MIDI or to Audio Tape.
All of the SQ-80's Disk functions (including System Exclusive storage) are handled from the Storage
Page. In addition, the Storage Page is used to send and load Program and Sequence Data to various other
media for saving and storage.
The
STORAGE Page handles four basic types of Data transfer:
1) CARTRIDGE — An entire Master Bank (all 40 Programs) can be transferred from the Internal
Memory to CART A or CART
B of an EPROM Storage cartridge. Or the 40 Programs in CART
A or CART
B can be transferred to the Internal Memory. Note that the Cartridge is for storing
Programs only — not Sequencer data.
2) DISK — The SQ-80's 3 1/2" disk drive can store 40 Program Banks, 128 individual Programs and
10 Sequencer/System Exclusive blocks on each Double-Sided Double-Density (DSDD) disk.
3) MIDI —
All 40 Internal Programs, or any single Internal or Cartridge Program, can be sent via
MIDI to another
SQ-80, to an ESQ-1 or to a computer which has been programmed to accept such
information.
Note: Storage of System Exclusive data from other Instruments, though it involves transferring the
data over MIDI. is treated as a Disk function by the
SQ-80 and is handled from the DISK menu
on the
Storage Page (see p. 171).
4) TAPE — The 40 Programs in the Internal Memory can be saved to Audio Tape, or a Bank of 40
Programs can be loaded into the internal Memory from Tape.
When you press the STORAGE (Disk) button, the Page appears like this:
From here you choose which type of Data Transfer you want.
CARTRIDGE — Bank Copy
The Bank Copy function allows you to transfer all forty Programs between the Internal memory and
either Bank of the Cartridge. When you press
CARTRIDGE from the menu on the STORAGE Page,
