3) Use the Left/Right Arrow buttons to toggle between the Group and
Location parameters, and use the Up/Down Arrow buttons to select a new
sound for the track. The Group parameter scrolls between INT, ROM,
CARD A, and CARD B (CARD sounds appear only if a sound card is
installed) sound groups. The Location parameter scrolls through the
individual sounds within the selected group. Notice that as you select new
values for this parameter, the display only Sound Name parameter changes as
well. This parameter tells you the name of the sound in that location.
While on this screen, you can use either of the two Track buttons to select other
tracks for replacing sounds. Track Number is the third active parameter on the
screen. ' .
Putting a Sound onto a Track along with its Effect
To copy a sound along with its effect into the track/preset (replacing the current
preset effect with the one in the sound):
• With the track selected that you wish to replace the sound on, press Select
Sounds.
• Use the Up/Down and Left/Right Arrow buttons to find the sound/effect
combination.
• Press and hold the Select Sounds button, and while holding it down, press
the Select Preset button. The sound now appears in the selected Track, with
the effect placed globally in the preset.
• Press the Edit Track again to return to the track editing functions. The Edit
Track LED will light solidly to indicate its return to normal functions.
Layering Sounds in a Preset
In a preset, a maximum of seven sounds may be layered with the selected sound.
You can have up to eight sounds layered (stacked) on one key, or up to eight
different sounds split across the keyboard by using the Key Range function
described later in this section. Layering works only when the SQ-R is in OMNI,
POLY, or MONO A MIDI In modes (System bank).
To layer sounds in presets:
• Press Select Preset, then select one of the 8 tracks.
• Press both Track buttons simultaneously for each track you wish to layer. If
a track is layered, it can be un-layered by pressing both track buttons.
Pressing both Track buttons in MULTI toggles the track status between *OFF*
and LOCAL.
Using Effects with Presets
All eight tracks in a preset share the same effects program. If this effect is
incompatible with any sounds in the preset (such as a delay which you want only
on a selected sound), there are several options:
• Set the effects routing to DRY for any of the programs which are incompatible.
(See Output Screen in the Mix Bank later in this section.)
• Change the preset effect to be something more suitable. (See Replacing the
Sound earlier in this section.)
