#60 is full, and so on.)
— > If there were no empty Sequences on the Receiving Unit, the Display of the Sending Unit
will read *NO SEQUENCE LOCATIONS AVAILABLE*. Erase a Sequence and try
again. If the Receiving Unit doesn't have enough free Memory for the Sequence, the Display
of the Sending Unit will read *INSUFFICIENT MEMORY TO LOAD SEQUENCE*. Erase
some Sequences on the receiving SQ-80 and try again.
— > If the Display says *DATA TRANSMITTED - CHECK RECEIVER*, this means that
the sending SQ-80 did not receive the expected response from a receiving SQ-80. but it sent the
data anyway.
• If you were sending the data to something other than an SQ-80 (such as a computer),
this is normal, and indicates simply that the data was transmitted.
• If you were sending the data to another SQ-80, this message indicates that the transfer
may not have been received properly. Check your MIDI connections, and the MIDI Enables on
the MIDI Page of the Receiving Unit, and try again.
LOADING ESQ-1 Sequencer Data via MIDI from a Mirage
This procedure lets you Load ESQ-1 Sequencer data which has been saved to a Mirage Digital Sampling
Keyboard or Mirage Digital Multi-sampler. When the ESQ-1 initially transmitted the data to Mirage,
the 40 Internal Programs were sent along with the Sequencer data. When you Load ESQ-1 Sequencer
Data from the Mirage, you have the option of also Loading the 40 Internal Programs along with that Data.
This will replace the Internal Programs that were in the SQ-80 before.
To LOAD ESQ-1 Sequencer Data via MIDI from a Mirage:
− > Boot the Mirage with a MASOS diskette.
− > Load the Sequence Data into the Mirage from a diskette where it has been stored. Both
Upper and Lower Memory must be loaded.
− > Connect the MIDI In of the SQ-80 to the MIDI Out jack of the Mirage;
Connect the MIDI Out of the SQ-80 to the MIDI In jack of the Mirage.
− > On the SQ-80, select the STORAGE Page, and press MIDI.
-> Press LOAD. The following Page appears:
− > Press ONLY ESQ-1
SEQ DATA to Load only the
Sequencer Data; or press INT
PROG BANKS + SEQ
DATA to Load both the Se-
quencer Data and the 40 Inter-
nal Programs. The Display
will read *MIDI DATA BEING TRANSFERRED* PLEASE WAIT...
− ) If the transfer is successful, the Display will say *MIDI PROCEDURE COMPLETE*,
and then return to the Storage Page. The Sequencer Data is now in the SQ-80's Sequencer
Memory; and if you selected INT PROG BANKS + SEQ DATA, the 40 Internal Programs have also
been replaced.
− > If the Display says *TARGET SYSTEM NOT RESPONDING*,
check 1) your
MIDI connections, 2) that the Mirage is booted with MASOS, and 3) you loaded both the
Upper and Lower halves from the Mirage disk which contained the Sequencer data.
− > Two other error messages are also possible:
• *ONLY SEQUENCE DATA CAN BE LOADED* — If you try to load Mirage sound
Data into the SQ-80's Sequencer Memory, you will get this message.
• *FATAL ERRORS DETECTED — SEQUENCER MEMORY IS CLEARED* The MIDI
connections being disconnected during the transfer can result in this message. Try again.
