ENSONIQ SQ-R User Manual

SQ-R Musicians Manual Section 3 - Presets
The number which appears is usually the number of the internal SQ-R sound
assigned to the track. This number is automatically set whenever a sound is
selected from the Sound Select mode with the track status set to BOTH or MIDI.
Assigning a new sound to a Preset track by replacing the sound (as described
earlier this section) does not change the program number automatically. This
allows the internal program number to be different from the MIDI program
number, which is useful when layering a SQ-R with a MIDI program when using j;
the Retransmit function. "•
You can set this number to any other legal program number if you wish to
override the default value. This can be useful in presets, which will transmit a
program change for every MIDI-enabled track when the preset is selected.
Range: 001 through 128 (MIDI program numbers 0 to 127)
Program Changes in the SQ-R »
All sound banks are assigned program numbers 001-079, with "smart" MIDI Out
sending a bank change whenever the program bank (INT, ROM, CARD A, or
CARD B) is changed
• Internal RAM sounds (INT banks) are numbered from 001 to 079.
• Card programs (CARD A or CARD B banks) are numbered from 001 to 079.
• Internal ROM programs (ROM banks) are also numbered from 001 to 079.
• The Drum Kit sounds send their program numbers 080 to 099 when selected.
Receiving Program Changes
The way the SQ-R receives program changes is slightly more complex than some
other systems because the number of sounds that are available to be selected from
MIDI is larger than the number of program change messages available within the
MIDI standard. To solve this problem, the SQ-R uses the last four program
change numbers (125 to 128) to control how subsequent program changes will be
interpreted. The following chart shows the effect of these four special program
changes:
After Program Subsequent program changes
Cliange: will select:
125 OOO..O79 - INT Sounds
126 000..079 - ROM Sounds
127 0O0..079 - CARD A Sounds
128 000..079 - CARD B Sounds
These special "control" program changes need to be sent only once. All
subsequent program changes will be handled according to the range that was set
by the last one received. When the SQ-R receives one of these bank select
program changes, the SQ-R is placed in Sound Select mode. j:i| jj;

Selecting a New Preset Effect from MIDI (Program Change 124)
There is another special program change, recognized only in MULTI mode which
is used to select both a sound and its effect for one of the eight preset tracks.
When program change 124 is received on a channel assigned to a preset track, the
