ENSONIQ SQ-80 User Manual

SQ-80 — Musician's Manual
"TRANSPORT" CONTROLS
The bottom row of Buttons in the Sequencer section of the SQ-80 are used to start and stop the Sequencer,
and to enter the various other Sequencer States. These buttons are similar to the Play, Stop and Record
controls on a tape deck. To
gether with the Sequencer Foot Switch (which duplicates the Stop•Cont
Button), and the Auto-Locate controls found on the LOCATE Page (which might be compared to the
fast forward and rewind), they give you the ability to Play or Record from any Bar within a Sequence.
When the Sequencer is Stopped:
• Pressing Play starts the Sequencer playing from the beginning of the Sequence or Song.
(Unless you have just used the
Auto-Locate Controls, in which case the first press of the Play
Button acts like Stop•Cont.)
• Pressin
g Stop
•
Cont starts the Sequencer playing from the point where it was last stopped, or
from the location selected with the
Auto-Locate Controls.
• Pressin
g Play while holding down Record starts the Sequencer Recording from the point where
it was last stopped. or from the location selected with the
Auto-Locate Controls.
When the Sequencer is in PLAY:
• Pressing Stop
•
Cont stops the Sequencer.
• Pressing
Play starts the Sequence again from the beginning.
• Pressin
g Record puts the Sequencer into Overdub. It will wait for you to play before going into
Record.
When the Sequencer is in RECORD:
• Pressing Stop
•
Cont stops the Sequencer.
• Pressing
Play takes the Sequencer out of Record and puts it into Audition Play. (Except on the
First Track. When recording the First Track, pressin
g Play has no effect.)
Sequencer Foot Switch
The Rear Panel jack labeled Sequencer Ft. Sw. accepts an ENSONIQ SW-1 Foot Switch. When a Foo
t
Switch is plugged into this jack, pressing it will have the same effect as pressing
Stop
•
Cont, except when
recording the first Track of a Sequence, or when in Overdub, when it can be used to put the Sequencer
into Record without playing.
The Sequencer Foot Switch exactly duplicates the behavior of the Stop
•
Cont Button (except in the
REC Standby or Overdub states).
