SQ-R Musician's Manual Section 8 - Storage Functions
SQ-R/SQ-1 Storage Compatibility
The SQ-R is related directly to the SQ-1; a keyboard version of the SQ-R
featuring a built-in 16 track sequencer. The sounds on both instruments are
identical in format, and are completely compatible. However, there are some
minor differences in the way each instrument stores preset/sequencer data to
memory card. Because of this, there is not 100% storage compatibility between
them. Use the following guidelines to determine if the storage transfer function
you wish to perform will be compatible or not.
MIDI SYSTEM-EXCLUSIVE
All System Exclusive data transfers are functional and compatible between the
SQ-R and SQ-1:
• Sound data can be sent via Sys-Ex from an SQ-R to an SQ-1.
• Sound data can be received via Sys-Ex from an $Q-1 to an SQ-R.
• Preset data can be sent via Sys-Ex from an SQ-R to an SQ-1. Once in the SQ-
1, track data can be added to these presets, becoming sequences.
• Sequence data can be received via Sys-Ex from an SQ-1 to an SQ-R. When
received, the SQ-R ignores all track data, leaving the preset information.
MEMORY CARD
Most data saved to card on either the SQ-R or SQ-1 can be read and understood
by the other. There.is one exception, listed below:
• Sound data can be saved to a memory card from an SQ-R and read by an SQ-1.
• Sound data can be saved to a memory card from an SQ-1 and read by an SQ-R.
• Sequence data can be saved to a memory card from an SQ-1 and read by an SQ-
R. When the data is loaded from the card, the SQ-R ignores all track data,
leaving the preset information.
• Preset data tiiat is saved to a memory card from an SQ-R cannot be read by an
SQ-1.
If you wish to send preset information from an SQ-R to an SQ-1 (to be used as
the basis for sequencing, or on its own), use the Sys-Ex transfer methods
described earlier in this section.
