1) Select Sound Button
r Pressing the Select Sound button, located in the far left position in the bottom
row of four buttons, displays the current track number and ON/OFF status, the
sound location and name, lights its LED and places the SQ-R in Sound Select

activated. After pressing the Select Sound button, using the Bank Select
button in conjunction with the Left/Right and Up/Down Arrow buttons

If the MIDI In Mode is OMNI or POLY, only one track at a time can be played,
effectively making this the "solo" track button. Any program changes received
through MIDI while the SQ-R is in Sound Select Mode (with MIDI In set to
OMNI or POLY) will select a new sound and its effect for the current track.
When the MIDI In Mode is set to MULTI, program changes received will select a
new sound, but the effect will not change unless the program change is preceded
by the load effect program change (see Section 3 — Presets for further details).

Sound Edit Mode An edited sound can be compared with the original sound by
pressing this button while Sound Edit Mode is active.
