Sending Sequencer Data via MIDI
The SQ-80 can send All Sequencer Data, or a single Sequence, over MIDI to another SQ-80. This
rocedure can also be used to send Sequencer Data to a computer or generic System Exclusive receiver
(though since the SQ-80 has its own built-in Disk Drive this won't often be necessary). You can send
one Sequence (CURRENT SEQUENCE) to an ESQ-1 via MIDI, but an ESQ-1 cannot receive the entire
Sequencer memory (ALL SEQUENCER DATA) from an SQ-80 because of the SQ-80's greater number
of Songs and Sequences.
MIDI Connections and settings: In the case of Sending Sequencer Data via MIDI.
• Both the MIDI Out jack and the MIDI In jack of the Sending Unit must be connected to the
MIDI In and the MIDI Out jacks of the receiving Unit.
• Both units must be assigned the same
Base MIDI Channel (MIDI Page).
• The Receiving Unit must have System Exclusive messages Enabled (Set the Enables on the MIDI Page
