SQ-80 — Musician's Manual
MIDI TRANSFER OF SQ-80 DATA
The SQ-80 can be instructed to send Program and Sequencer Data over MIDI. (These Program and
Sequence "dumps
"
are System Exclusive messages, like those discussed earlier.) Though these
rocedures are meant for sending data to another SQ-80, they can also be used to send data to any other
device, such as a Computer or, for some types of data, an
ESQ-1. Here we are concerned with sending
Data from one
SQ-80 (the Sending Unit) to another (the Receiving Unit).
When you press
MIDI on the Storage Page you are given these two choices:
• The LOAD option is only for Loading ESQ-1 Sequencer data from a Mirage Digital
Sampling Keyboard or
Mirage Digital Multi-sampler.
• Pressing
SEND gives you a menu of options for sending Program or Sequencer data to another
SQ80. (Note: the SQ-80 does not support Sending its own Sequencer data to a Mirage, only
Loading data which has been previously saved to Mirage from an
ESQ-1.)
When you press
SEND, the following screen appears:
Sending Programs via MIDI
The SQ-80 can send one Program (CURRENT PROGRAM) or the 40 Internal Programs (INT PROG
BANKS) to another
SQ-80 via MIDI. SQ-80 Programs can also be received by an ESQ-1, though the
ESQ-1 probably won't be able to play most of them properly. This procedure can also be used to send
Programs to a computer or generic S
y
stem Exclusive receiver (though because of the SQ-80's built-in
Disk Drive, you probably won't often need to do this).
MIDI Connections and settings: In the case of Sending Program Data via MIDI
• It is only necessary that the MIDI Out jack of the Sending SQ-80 be connected to the MIDI In
jack of the Receiving Unit.
• Both Units must be set to the same
Base MIDI Channel (MIDI Page).
• The Receiving Unit must have System Exclusive messages Enabled. (On the
MIDI Page, set
MIDI Enables to
ENABLE=KEYS+CT+PC+SS+SX.)
