ENSONIQ SQ-R User Manual

Section 4 - Effects SQ-R Musician's Manual
These are the rules that the SQ-R follows in deciding when to change effects:
i
1. When you select a new sound it changes to that sound's effect.
2. When you select a new preset, it changes to that preset's effect.
3. Whenever you go from Sound mode to Preset mode (by pressing Select
Preset) the preset effect is loaded. The same is true when going from Preset
mode to Sounds mode (by pressing Select Sound).
4. When you choose a sound for a preset track it will not change the effect.
5. Saving either the sound or the preset will save the current effect.
6. When a special MIDI program change message (#124) is received in MULTI
mode, the next program change received will cause the preset effect to be
loaded with the one in the sound.
Performance Control of Effects in Preset mode
When the SQ-R is in Preset mode, the effect for the current preset is edited by
pressing the Effect button.
The Effect button calls up the Effect bank. Repeated presses of the Effect
button scrolls through individual Effect parameter screens. You can then use the
Left/Right Arrow buttons to select the various parameters within the bank.
Normally, different voices in a preset are assigned to the three different busses, as
set in the PARAMeter bank during Track Edit mode.
The available settings are:
• DRY forces all voices to the dry bus
• FX1 forces FX2 voices to FX1; FX1 and DRY are unaffected
• FX2 forces FX1 voices to FX2;FX2 and DRY are unaffected
• VOICE uses normal voice routing
• CNTRL uses normal voice routing and routes controller information to
the effect. This is the default setting in the track after selecting a
sound in Select Sound mode.
See Section 3 — Presets for more information..
Controllers Routed to Effects
In effects that allow real-time control, it is sometimes desirable to limit which
tracks send controller information to the effect. This is particularly true when
using multiple MIDI input channels from a sequencer. If more than one track is
set to CNTRL, "controller fights" can occur. If set to VOICE, a track will remain
routed to the effects, but its controllers (such as the TIMBRE control,
MOD WHEEL, etc.) will not affect the effect.
