Section 2 - System Control
Voice Muting
This parameter controls whether or not all voices currently playing will be shut
off when a new sound is selected. This lets you avoid any audible discontinuity
as the new sound's effect is loaded, but at the expense of being able to sustain a
note from one sound while selecting and playing another.
• ON — Whenever you select a new sound, any voices that might be sustaining
from the previous sound will be stopped.
• OFF — When you select a new sound, voices that are sustaining from previous
sounds will continue to play as long as the key(s) are held down. The old
voices will go through the effect of the new sound, so they might sound
different, especially if the new sound uses a radically different effect.
Base Channel/MIDI Mode

Ki
Base Channel
r
Selects the Base Channel on which the SQ-R transmits and receives MIDI
messages. The base channel is used to transmit and receive MIDI data while the
SQ-R is in Sound Select mode. When working within a preset, the SQ-R
automatically transmits and receives MIDI data on the individual track channels.
System Exclusive messages are always sent and received on the base channel.
Range: 01 to 16
Any of 16 MIDI channels may be selected as the basic MIDI channel of the SQ-R.
The effect of setting the base channel varies depending on the MIDI Mode and
whether data is being transmitted or received.
Receive In POLY mode, keys, controllers and program changes are only
recognized if received on the base channel. In MONO A mode,
program changes are received only on the base channel. The
base channel is also used in both MONO modes as the first
channel of the 8 channel range. In MULTI mode, program
changes received on the base channel will select a new preset.
For this reason, it is advisable to avoid having any tracks within
a preset set to the same MIDI channel as the Base Channel (see
Section 3 — Presets for more details).
Transmit The SQ-R transmits on the individual track channel (see the
Retransmit parameter later in this section for a description of
how and when the SQ-R transmits MIDI data).
