The Smart Transmit Function — The SQ-R's Controller Capabilities
The SQ-R's Smart Transmit Function is a unique and powerful feature which
allows the SQ-R to add new MIDI master controller features to any keyboard
hooked up to it. Connect your favorite keyboard and it becomes an 8 zone
controller with independent control over volume, transpose, key range, MIDI
channel, program change remapping, and sustain pedal on/off. The major
advantage of the Smart Transmit function is that it gives you the power and
flexibility of a controller keyboard, even if your MIDI keyboard lacks these multi
channel abilities.
Let's take a look at how to implement and utilize the Smart Transmit function.
First, we'll need to determine which SQ-R sounds and external MIDI devices
should play across specific areas of the keyboard. For example:
[ Remote UftH #4 Only ^
| Remote Unit #3 ;{Program 397) |
jiRemote Unit #2 only (Program #57)
j
mGm layered w/ Remote Unrt #1 (Program #42)
SQ-R:pnly|(Transpostedjufr^
The next step is to make MIDI connections between all the modules and set their
System controls to receive MIDI. The diagram below illustrates the connections
and MIDI settings:
