SQ-80 — Musician's Manual
[MASTER] MASTER PAGE
Controls "Straight Synth" Status, Master Tuning, Velocity Sensitivity, Pedal Function and Pitch
Bend Range.
(Inactive Buttons appear White )
The parameters on this page are keyboard-wide, or "Global." The settings here will not change with
different Programs selected, but will remain in effect for whatever Program you are playing.
Aside from Master Tuning and overall Keyboard Touch (Velocity and Pressure Sensitivity), this page
also has a control for determining the Status of the "Straight Synth" — LOCAL, MIDI or BOTH. This
lets you determine whether playing the keyboard when no Sequencer Track is selected ("Straight Synth"
operation) will cause notes to play only on the
SQ-80, only out MIDI, or both.
The
Master Page contains a control for selecting between Pitch Bend Modes — normal operation, where
the Bend Wheel affects all notes; and a special "Held" mode in which the Bend Wheel only affects those
keys which are being held down. Also on this Page is a control for choosing whether a CV Pedal plugged
into the SQ-80's rear panel will act as a Modulator or as a Volume Pedal.
These settings, like almost all SQ-80 parameters, will be "remembered" even when the SQ-80 is turned
OFF.

1) Adjust the Master Tuning of the keyboard:
2) Set the
Status (LOCAL. MIDI or BOTH) of the "Straight Synth" keyboard:
