Remember:
Pressure
You must have the Retransmit parameter in the System bank set to ON in order
for Smart Transmit to work. Also remember to have the cables to any external
MIDI devices connected to the SQ-R's MIDI Out, not the MIDI Thru jack.
After setting up these parameters, save the preset, giving it a name that describes
the set-up. Once this is done, whenever you select the preset, either from the
front panel or via a program change, each track with MIDI or BOTH status will
send the appropriate program changes, volumes, etc. to tlie receiving instruments
on its MIDI channel (tracks with LOCAL status will set up with correct
parameters as well).
The SQ-R's Smart Transmit function also allows you to retransmit (and in some
cases alter) the type of pressure a track receives, using the Pressure parameter.
The ghart below shows the relationship between type of pressure received, track
pressure type (Pressure parameter setting), and the type retransmitted:
