ENSONIQ SQ-R User Manual

Section 1 - Getting Started SQ-R Musician's Manual
Track Buttons
The two rightmost buttons in the top group of four are the Track buttons. The
Track buttons are used to select which tracks are active. Pressing either button
individually will scroll through the tracks (when on track 8, pressing the
increment Track button takes the SQ-R to track 1).
When both buttons are pressed together, the ON/OFF status of the currently
selected track toggles back and forth. This is how instruments are "stacked" in
OMNI and POLY MIDI In modes (for more details see Section 3 — Presets). If
the MIDI In mode is MULTI, the status of the currently selected track toggles
between OFF and BOTH. There is always at least one track ON, and up to seven
other tracks can be turned on (for layering) within a Preset (again, more details in
Section 3 — Presets).
System Button
Pressing the System button, located in the far left position in the top row of
four buttons, allows access to all global system and MIDI configuration
parameters and all storage functions, regardless of the mode the SQ-R is in.
Hint: When the System button is double-clicked, it functions as a MIDI Panic button
by resetting all of the SQ-R voices. When any of the four mode buttons are
pressed after the System button, the SQ-R enters that mode.
Effects Button
Pressing the Effects button, located in the second position in the top row of
four buttons, allows access to all effect parameters. The effect parameters are
mode dependent, when in Sound Select or Sound Edit modes the parameters
affect the Effect that is a part of the currently selected sound. When in Preset
Select or Track Edit modes, the parameters will affect the selected preset's Effect.
Enter/Save Button
The Enter/Save button, located in the far left position in the bottom row of
three buttons, performs various functions. When a command is selected,
pressing the Enter/Save button will execute that command. When a command
is not selected, pressing the Edit/Save button saves either the current sound or
current preset, depending on die current mode.
Bank Select Button
The center button in the bottom group of three is the Bank Select button. The
Bank Select button is used to select groups of parameters, commands, or
sounds.
Which banks are selected is determined by which mode the SQ-R is in.
When in Preset Select Mode, this button has no effect.
When in Sound Select Mode, pressing the Bank Select button will change the
sound group (INTernal, ROM, CARD A, or CARD B).
In either Sound Edit or Track Edit Modes, the name of the current bank will show
while the button is held, returning to the previous display once the button has
been released. If the Up or Down Arrow (Yes and No, respectively)
button is pressed while the Bank Select is held, the previous or next bank
within that mode will be displayed and selected.
