SQ-80 — Musician's Manual
• The Base Channel Minus One
becomes the MIDI Channel for global Controllers . For example,
if the Base Channel is Chan.
3, any Controllers (Pitch bend. Pressure, MOD Wheel, etc.) received
on Chan
2 will affect all the Tracks. If the Base Channel is Chan. 1, Chan. 16 becomes the Channel
for Global Controllers.
9. ENABLE — MIDI Enables
This parameter determines what kinds of MIDI information will be sent and received by the SQ-
80, including the receiving of MIDI Song Selects (see p. 143). There are five possible states for
this parameter:
> KEY EVENTS ONLY — In this state the SQ-80 will send and receive only notes that are played
on the Keyboard, along with Song Selects (Song Selects are always sent). Controllers (such as
MOD Wheel. Pitch Bend, etc.). Program changes, and Parameter Changes will not be sent or
received. Song Selects will not be received.
> KEYS + CONTROLLERS — Key Events and Controllers only will be received. Parameter
Changes and Song Selects will be sent, but not received. Program changes will not be sent or
received.
> KEYS + CT + PROG CHNG — Key Events, Controllers, and Program Changes will be sent
and received
in this Mode. This means that changing Programs on the SQ-80 will instruct a slave
unit to change to the same numbered Program: or. if the
SQ-80 is being driven by another
keyboard. Program changes made on that keyboard will cause the
SQ-80 to change to the same-
numbered Program. Again, Parameter Changes and Song Selects are sent but not received.
> KEYS + CT + PC + SNGSL — Same as KEYS + CT + PROG CHNG above, with the addition
that MIDI Song Select messages will also be received. Key Events, Controllers, Program
Changes and Song Selects will be sent and received in this Mode.
> KEYS + CT + PC + SS + SX — Key Events, Controllers, Program Changes, Song Selects and
System Exclusive messages will all be received
via MIDI in this Mode. This enables the SQ-
80 to receive System Exclusive messages, such as Parameter Changes, Program Dumps,
Sequencer Data. etc. Any Parameter (Program or Global) that is changed on the SQ-80 will also
be changed on another SQ-80 connected to the first by MIDI.
Note: This is the only parameter on the SQ-80 whose setting is not always preserved when the unit is
turned off and then on again.
If the SQ-80 is enabled to receive System Exclusive messages
(ENABLE=KEYS + CT + PC + SS + SX) and you turn the power off, when you turn it on again this
parameter will be reset to ENABLE= KEYS + CT + PC + SNGSL. In other words, System Exclusive
messages will no longer be enabled. This is to prevent accidentally leaving System Exclusive messages
enabled, which can wreak havoc in some circumstances (notably while sequencing).
